How can I embed Product Links into a PDF document ?

    I want to be able to embed Amazon's Product Links into a PDF document.

    I've tried the Text Only Link option, but when I create the PDF it just appears as HTML text within the document (not as a link). Also, when I run 'Create URLs in Document' from within Acrobat it still appears as HTML text (though it is an incomplete link, because of wordwrap).

    Any suggestions ?

    Thanks,
    David Berghouse

    Are you trying to hyperlink an image? There are many pdf creators out there, try exploring a few of them.

    No ... I'm using the HTML code you get from the 'Products Links' section of the Amazon Affiliates website - for example 

    <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0789205785?ie=UTF8&tag=museumtracker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0789205785">The Pocket Louvre</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=museumtracker-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0789205785" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
    Code (markup):

    Try putting the code into a website first, then copying the code into your pdf file.

    No - that didn't work.

    I had to discect the Amazon link and then create my link in PageMaker (which I was using to create the bulletin) and then create my PDF.
    This worked fine.
