Since installing Adobe 8.0 (previously on v6) hyperlinks (drilldowns) embedded in Focus generated PDF reports do not work. Can anybody recommend a solution?

Hi Berg,

Has this issue been resolved?

If not, can you please provide a little more specific information regarding the issue? Or if you have a sample code to show, that would be good too.

Thank you in advance for sharing.

Cheers,

Kerry

PL, i've got 762 and Adobe 8 and my links in pdf work fine..
i don't know if its a 7.1 v 7.6 thing, but i just wanted to let you know that Adobe 8 seems to be ok . When you hover over the link in a pdf, can you capture exactly what it says? Or do you not even get the link to show up?
oh, and welcome to the point, i see its your first post, and thank you for having your system details in your signature.

Susannah The hperlink text is what I expect it to be. Unfortunately I cannot paste the screen dump of the "hover" into this posting. Can I email it to you directly so that you may look for anything unusual?

Kerry,

I received feedback from Susannah - hopefully she is will be able to assist.

thanks

of course, my email address is in my profile.

Susannah has resolved the issue with the following solution;

At the top of your fex, stick in this line

SET FOCEXURL = HTTP://yourservername/ibi_apps/WFServlet using your server name

Or

SET FOCEXURL = HTTP://192.168.n.nn/ibi_apps/WFServlet using the number of your server address.

PL,

Good thing to post the solution you received.

I guess you were having problems when mailing from Report Caster?

I just finished a fairly legnthly case on this issue. I eventually found that the problem is in the configuration of the Adobe Reader. Go to the Edit ->> Preferences ->> Internet Menu and make sure that the Display PDF in Browser checkbox is checked. Where I am currently developing solutions the client had set up their workstation ghost image to have this unchecked, making drill downd from PDF fail.
