     Posted: 17 Dec 2009 at 9:03am
Hi all,
 
I have a report which spans out more than 50 pages with an index page at the starting of the report. We are generating the report as a .pdf file.
 
My client now wants me to create hyperlinks for each and every topic i listed in the index and when i click on it (in the pdf file), it navigates me to the page where the actual contents of the report are.
For eg. when i click on the 'New Logos' in the index, it should take me to page 7 of the report where the actual contents for 'New Logos' are shown.
 
 
Is there a way i can create hyperlinks of this sort. Kindly help me out if u have any idea.

I don't believe that's possible with a PDF export from within Crystal.  Crystal doesn't use many of the more advanced features of the various formats it exports to and it doesn't expose a way to access them.
 
Having said that, there may be a third-party tool available that would help with this.  A good list of them can be found at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html.

Thanks Hilfy for sharing the info.
 
Just a clarification. Do all the crystal report viewers listed there in the link u shared have this option?.

Probably not.  You'll have to research them - I provided the link as a place for you to start looking as this is not a feature that I've needed to implement.
