Title: Hyperlinks
Post by: erik_42 on June 17, 2023, 10:27:00 AM
I would like to add, to the PDF that I generate with Scribus, hyperlinks both to external URLs and to pages within the document.

At this link...

https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Adding_Hyperlinks_to_your_Scribus_PDF_document

It explains how to create links to external URLs.

It mentions using buttons to create internal links.

I have attempted both of these approaches and I cannot get either to work.  When I click on the relevant text in the generated PDF, nothing happens.  Is this functionality still supported?  I am using Scribus version 1.5.8 on Ubuntu.

Regarding the PDF button, every time I edit its properties, or in any way interact with the UI for the PDF button, Scribus hangs.  On the lower left on the status bar I see "Adjusting colors...".  On the lower right I see a status bar which advances very slowly from 0% to 100%.  It repeats this several times, every time I click on the dialog for the PDF button.  I am using Scribus version 1.5.8 on ubuntu.
