BullZip Home

Hi, I'm new to your great Bullzip PDF Printer that I've been using for a couple of days now. Its very easy to use & the file sizes are great for sending in emails. It got a 140Kb DOC down to just 45Kb that included images

I'm wondering if its actually possible to insert URLS to exact words in the printed PDF documents so when I click on the underlined words, I get redirected to that link? On the work PC, we use Adobe, but since I'm using this from my own PC & for my own personal documents, surely theres a way?

If not, what other suggestions do you have because I produce neat documents & don't want to have have 5 very long URLS in my documents, if at all possible please.

Thanks for making this free & available for 64bit Vista

Hi,

I'm not sure that I can do anything about that. The printer does not do anything to make links clickable. It is the Adobe reader that recognizes a link or an email address and gives it a click action. This means that you have to include the full url.

Let me know if you find another way

Regards,
Jacob

This may be true. It doesn't work in Acrobat Pro either.
But can't a PDF file put a box around text that links to a URL? I think that is possible. How about that for a solution for printing, say, MS Word documents in which a single word is linked to a full URL?

Thats what this program is missing, being able to edit a recently 'printed' PDF, then editing the selected word - say BullZip Home - with either the clickable hover-over box or typical underlined hyperlink to the preferred URL, so that it is hidden to look neat and tidy.

If thats still not possible, could you implement your PDF software into a web browser where you can use PHP code/JavaScript, etc.. and therefor no need for the user to actual install the whole software to make the PDFs? So then you could use this at work where software installs for personal use would normally be prohibited, and I wouldn't mind waiting a few minutes for this to be created or any adverts to be shown whilst waiting?

EDIT: why isn't the HTML code working for quoting and bold, very odd?

What I am looking for is for this link to be created automatically when printing to PDF a MS Word document in which (say) BullZip Home is already connected to the full URL using the Word hyperlink function: in other words, having the PDF printer render the Word hyperlink faithfully.

One of the few missing things with Bullzip PDF printer is the ability to embed URL's and make them clickable inside the PDF document.

May I add another vote for trying to add hyperlinks to later versions of Bullzip - preferably including relative references to local files. My Adobe Reader 9.0.0 running on XP SP3 sees text such as "file:///C:\GanttV1.pdf" as a hyperlink, but I cannot find a form which Adobe will accept as a relative file reference. Adobe’s current directory also appears “wrong” as it is the last used directory, not the directory the file was loaded from. Other people have also suggested this as a useful feature (http://forums.primopdf.com/showthread.php?t=496). Or perhaps somebody has discovered a solution?

Thank you for a very, very much to the author(s) for BullZip.

I would like to add my vote to that the other commentators who requested that the URL links are embedded llive into BullZip-printed web documents. I print and archive a huge volume of web newspaper reports everyday, and having to have to make all the URL's on each document live manually, in the appropriate PDF viewer, is an insurmountable task. Could not a solution be found for BullZip to handle this?

One of the nifty features of BullZip must surely be its ability to append a document upon printing. Would it be possible to get it to append multiple documents at the time of print?

Duplicated post, sorry :)
