i am having problems with exporting a report as a pdf as the hyperlink to each inventory item is not coming through on the export (works fine on print preview / report).
i can get it to export if i include a static link in the hyperlink field however the address changes with each stock item. i have attached a mini version of the db here.
the hyperlink field is on the buy button on the report - it currently works in preview etc as a code event.
thanks if anyone can help.

Report will not render "The record source 'Noosletteer' specified ... does not exist."
 
i think "Noosletteer" is just a Query from the lone table insde the db.
so it is easy to recreate.
 
Okay, changed RecordSource to table and export report.

Buttons don't work on report in PrintPreview, only ReportView.

Unlike a textbox, button does not have ControlSource and VBA code doesn't go with the PDF export. Build a textbox set up as hyperlink. Format it to look like button or position it on top of button (use space as button caption). Build hyperlink with expression in textbox ControlSource.

="Buy#https://" & [pbfnqweblink] & "#"

I can't say for certain but my guess is that you would need to use the full version of Adobe in order to get active hyperlinks in a PDF.
 
No. I only have Acrobat Reader and the exported hyperlinks work.
 
I'm impressed. I tried it with both a hyperlink data type and a short text data type and both worked. They also work with Chrome.
