PDF Hyperlinks

[Former Member]

Does anyone know the best method of creating a hyperlink in a WEBI report that when exported to PDF will redirect the user to a page in the PDF document, rather than using opendoc to open the original WEBI report?

The only way of creating such hyperlinks in Webi is using OpenDocument.

But unfortunately we cannot create a link to a particular page in PDF.

Though i can think of a workaround. If you break your Webi report in multiple tabs and export it to PDF then using OpenDocument you can create links to open any given Tab using the sReportName parameter.

Hence in the hyperlink you can specify the same Webi document as target and set the Output Format as PDF and also specify the tab you want to open.

Don't forget you can use the helpful UI in the Interactive Viewer in XI3.0 to create OpenDoc urls and even choose a report part!

Just right click the cell and select Hyperlink => New...
