Save as PDF

[JohnM]

I'm just getting started but before committing to a large pdf project that
onenote seems an excellent program to create it in, I need to know:

When saving as pdf are all fonts, sizes, decorations etc, etc AND hyperlinks
carried over to the pdf?

Can the onenote pages be numbered?

In what order are the tabs and pages saved to pdf?

Hope this makes sense!

Hey John<

Last night I installed the add-on that allows porting to PDF.

But, I was disappointed, in that SOME of the links in the created PDF file
went to the PDF file, and some for some reason went to my original OneNote
document on my computer! Meaning, if I sent that PDF to someone else it
would NOT work (some of the links anyway).

I can see no reason for this. Why would anyone want to create a PDF file
that doesn't link to its own locations for the content?

The same is true for the website publisher.

It is obvious that when one creates a PDF file with links that it should
link INTO the PDF ONLY, and NEVER link outside to a specific loction on a
particular computer!

OneNote is great at organizing thoughts, but so far (for me) it's a
nightmare trying to publish it in anything other than pure OneNote format
(i.e., requires everyone to own OneNote to view it PROPERLY, links working
and INDEPENDENT of the ORIGINAL document, or worse, it's specific computer
loaction!)...

So I wouldn't get too heavily invested in this until this is cleared up
(assuming I'm just doing something wrong) or is fixed!

If you are linking to a mapped drive, don't use the drive letter but use the
full path to the drive such as \\ServerName\Folder\SubFolder\myfile.pdf. If
you don't want all that to show then type in something like Click Here for
report, select the text and then right click and Hyperlink. Then you can type
in the path. Hint if it is a long convoluted path try Start | Run and the
text box type in \\ServerName and hit enter. This should allow you to browse
for the folder where you file is. Once you get to the folder, select and copy
the path in the address box and append your file name.

Another thing is that if you try to browse on the line from your computer,
it will use your original location even though you have told it to use the
network but normally if you browse to the destination using the \\servername
method it seems to forget the original path and then starts working ok. At
least that's my take on the whole thing.
