Hyperlink

Hello,


Can someone explain if it's possible to create hyperlinks on a set of plans where zz does not do it on it's own? Or what is the reason where sometimes it does and other times it doesn't auto create hyperlinks? I would like to know how to fix this.




Thanks,

To get to Hyperlinks Click the "/" button and scroll down to find it.

Beautiful! thank you!!

In addition to this, you can utilize the "highlighter" to create bookmarks similar to the auto-extracted hyperlinks.



Regarding why some pages auto-create hyperlinks and others don't - that is dependent on who created the PDF and if they decided to include hyperlinks or not. In the future, we are planning to improve this to extract all bookmark locations, not just ones that are built into the PDF.

Sweet, thank you!!!

Pro tip if you get into layers. Make sure to duplicate the default layer, then the hyperlinks come thru to the new layer.

can we get hyperlink added to notes as well? it would be nice to add easy link to other resources outside of pages uploaded and be able to make note of where it will take you

@Luke, we just added this capability to notes as well 🙂

Can we run the Hyperlink/ Tag identification process once the job has been uploaded,

I have a job where some sections are hyperlinked and others aren't... i'm wondering if running the process again would pick up the missing links

@Thomas, we don't have a way to re-run the auto hyperlink detection, but if we did, the results would be the same. Currently, the hyperlink detection is dependent on who created the PDF and which pages they decided to hyperlink. We have some updates planned to extract all bookmark locations, not just the ones built into the PDF (and in that case, we would probably allow re-running the auto hyperlink detection).
