Suppress Hyperlink on PDF

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a webi report where I have create a hyperlink to another report. It works as designed and it able to open the link.

Now the user wants to export the report to PDF and save it on the local machine. The PDF is saved with hyperlink.

The user wants to export the report to PDF without the hyperlink.

Do you think it is possible to export the report without the hyperlink?

Thanks,

Gaurav

There is no direct way you can avoid this using export option.

Workaround -1: You can have different variables for hyperlink text and normal text and use an input control to select among the two before exporting.

Workaround -2: You can have a separate report without hyperlink and in the main report, you can add one hyperlink(like "Click here to save in PDF") to the new report which will open in pdf format. In opendocument syntax, you can add sOutputFormat=P to open the report in PDF. Drawback is before exporting, the report need to be refreshed again.
