Searched around on google and here and can't seem to come across anything that gives a straight answer.
I've created a PDF which contains links to websites. These function fine when viewing the PDF in Acrobat, Chrome, Google Docs etc.
When I view the PDF in either Preview or Safari, I click the links and nothing happens. Any ideas/answers would be appreciated.

Not that big of a deal.
This request was a bit of an afterthought for some email invitations.
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something obvious.
I appreciate the advice, though.

Just to clarify, you're setting up your links in indesign right?

^ I'd edit them in Acrobat.
What version are you using? 6,7,8,9?
- meffid0
Try using 6, 7 or 8.

duckseason, did you get it to work?
- meffid0
Yeah bro, where's the update?
- duckseason0
Yeah, got it to work.
I just recreated the PDF and added the links again (from what I can recall, doing everything the same as I did the first time).
For some reason that seemed to do the trick.
Appreciate the help.

In order to avoid this in the future, I think all you have to do is go to Advanced > Extend PDF and save it out that way. That's what has worked for me in the past at least.
