In SL, I could give Print from Safari and instead of clicking PDF > Save as PDF, if I click Preview and save the document from within Preview, I could retain the hyperlinks. But this no longer works in Lion. Anyone has a solution?
Mac OS X (10.7)
The 10.7.1 update did not fix this issue.
I know, it is quite annoying. Personally I think it's dumb-down and not a bug. But with enough hassle maybe they will re-think it.
I tried printing the page from Firefox (on Lion) and the problem is there too. Seems like there is still something wrong in the underpinnings of Lion or in Preview in addition to what's with Safari.
What you see here is a feature of the PDF reader app. It detects any URL in a text and converts them to an active link on the fly.
Safari 5.1.4 brings back the feature to preserve links in PDFs saved from webpages!!! Thank you Apple!
Thanks for the update.
I hope the webkit update is pushed out sooner rather than later.
I have opened a Mozilla community question here:
A final note: With the recent update to Mac OS 10.7.4 / Safari 5.1.7 WebKit got updated. So now all apps which use WebKit to display HTML pages, like NetNewsWire, Vienna etc., got fixed, too. |
How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
