    Re: how to maintain hyperlink in excel to pdf conversion

    Since this question was asked nine days ago, you probably aren't going to
    get a real useful answer here, but I did a Google search on: excel.to.pdf hyperlinks
    The periods join words together could have used: "excel to pdf" hyperlinks

    There are lots of packages to convert to PDF, and since it looks like many
    of them appear to include hyperlinks that in itself might not be the problem.

    There are object hyperlinks, where you include a hyperlink Ctrl+K,
    and there are HYPERLINK Worksheet Functions. I would not expect
    you to have much luck with a Worksheet Function in a conversion.

    Consider what you are hyperlinking to, is it
    1) A complete link to a web page -- this should be the easiest
    and most straight forward.
    2) A link to cell in another workbook, or to a worksheet including the
    the same worksheet could present lots of problems (IMO).

    You might have to save as HTML and then convert the HTML to PDF.

    Re: how to maintain hyperlink in excel to pdf conversion

    When converting to html:
    1. Layout is damaged (e.g., rotated text in cells will loose its definition)
    2. Links in html are working, underline will be added below the charachter =>
    3. When creating pdf of html => loose again all link functionalities => death links

    Any other suggestions?
