We have a Lotus Notes database from which we create PDF files of these NOtes documents using PDF Distiller(Acrobat Standard V8).The PDF creation process is automated through a Visual Basic exe program.The process all works good.My problem is that I need to add links in these NOtes Documents so that when the PDF is created from the document the links come over as clickable elink on the pDF.For example,Yahoo should be a link pointing to [link=http://www.yahoo.com.Is]www.yahoo.com.Is[/link] there any special markup in Adobe that I can specify to indicate that a piece of text is a link?
I have tried to use HTML and it wouldn't work.Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks.
There are a few different ways you can do this. One method would be to execute the Javascipt command for adding weblinks in a batch process. For more information on how to do this visit the following URL:

Another method would be to insert PDFMark Operators into the Postscipt code prior to Distilling. For more information on this visit the following URL:

Hope this helps,
