I was prepared to accept B Grade. (Not, btw, that Spielberg is really A grade on the whole, but I know yours is an expression). -- dorayme

I spent some time in the Apple store today, demonstrating and discussing the behaviors mentioned earlier in this thread and the three persons I demonstrated and spoke with agreed that the behavior of the hyperlinks was not as one would desire. So the question now is the problem with the annotation procedure used within Preview to add the hyperlinks to a document originally created in Pages and exported as a PDF, or is the problem with both Preview and Adobe Reader themselves. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

Good question and difficult. There seems some evidence that some modern programs work your links correctly under all circumstances - see Nick's. Which suggests you are doing right in Preview but that the algorithms in the programs that the PDF work in are not up to scratch. There may be no way to fix this reliably. I advise, not having internal links to short docs like newsletters, for reasons I outlined before. -- dorayme

Interestingly, the problem with the hyperlinks was never reported to me from any readers of the newsletter in question, but was something I discovered on my own. Amusingly, on the few occasions when I misdirected a hyperlink I was quickly made aware of such by one or more readers of the newsletter, which suggests to me that the hyperlinks are used and appreciated. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com
