I created a form in LCD 8.2 that uses external hyperlinks using the following method:

Highlight any given word (example: "PALABRA"),
right click,
choose "insert hyperlink",
input URL (with full http address),
click "Ok".

Result = the word PALABRA becomes blue and is underlined (as a default hyperlink should be).

When I save and open in Adobe Reader (versions 7, 8, and 8.1), said hyperlink is not visible. The word PALABRA is black, and no hyperlink exists.

I know about the previous "hyperlink" workaround of creating buttons to launch a URL via Javascript, but I assumed this new version of LCD (8.2) made that obsolete.

Does this functionality only work with Acrobat Reader 9? Any thoughts?

Apparently I was not paying attention to the "Warnings" window... hyperlinks created via the method above are only visible in Acrobat versions 9+
