strange problem with TOC hyperlinks and dot leaders
I'm going nuts trying to make a nice PDF file of a reference manual.
In Word 2002, my TOC is hyperlinked, and with the control key held down I can click anywhere on a line to follow the link. I can click on the text, the dot leader, or the page number. When I make a PDF using Adobe Acrobat 7.0, it behaves the same way except only the text and page number are hyperlinked, not the dot leader. I created a small practice document with just a few Headings 1 & 2, and a TOC like the one in my manual. In Word the hyperlinks behave the same way as in my reference manual, but in PDF the entire line is hyperlinked just like I want it! Including the dot leaders. I've been fiddling endlessly with Word settings and Acrobat settings trying the get the dot leaders to be hyperlinked, but I just can't get it. Can anyone tell me why the dot leaders are hyperlinked in one document, and not another? Thanks, Brian Murphy Austin, Texas |

strange problem with TOC hyperlinks and dot leaders
I think it's a case of bugs in Acrobat.
I now know now that when starting the PDF creation process in Word, if the file is large you get prompted about turning off tagging to save time. If I choose to turn of tagging, the dot leaders don't get hyperlinked. If I turn on tagging, they do, but many of the hyperlinked portions of text throughout the document now get butchered, whereas they all work fine when tagging is turned off. So I think this is a bug in Acrobat. Here's another thing that appears to be a bug in Acrobat. If I hyperlink a line that has plain text at the left margin, and text at the right margin by using a right aligned tab stop setting, and have dot leaders turned on. The resulting PDF file does not hyperlink the dot leaders or the text at the right margin. I might post this in an Acrobat forum. |
