Scribus > PDF Generation
Adding links to a PDF
Ged:
I have exported my document to PDF and viewed it in Adobe Reader. Looks good. :)
Now, I would like to create a link in my PDF page before uploading on to the Internet. Previously I would open the finished PDF in Adobe Acrobat, and add the link there. However, it would be nice if Scribus could perform that task. Am I in luck?
Nermander:
Yes, Scribus can do it.

Ged:
I did it as per the Scribus article, but when I tried to upload my pdf document to Academia.edu, I got the following error message:
--- Quote ---Sorry, we couldn't convert your document for embedded viewing.
There are a number of potential reasons for this:
* The document was saved in a format that we can't process (for example, .jpg)
* The document was saved with encryption or password protection
* If we tried to pull it from an external address, the URL may have been malformed or obsolete
--- End quote ---
I will now try to upload it using Acrobat. If that is successful, we may have to assume that I missed a detail in the Scribus instructions. Either that or there is a 'bug.' >:( I'll let you know how I get on.

Reading on this page (referred to from Academia.edu help pages)

Did you try the links before you uploaded the document?
Ged:
Yep, tried the link and it worked OK. Checked the academia article, and updated 'Flash' as the article suggested.
One thing else I noticed is that when exporting, Scribus default profile is set to "Postscript." Ill try it set to "PDF14" instead, and see if it makes a difference.
