Link Between Pages in a PDF Report

Status: Under Consideration

Hello

Thank you for your request. R&D has read this suggestion and it will be included in feature planning discussions for future DIAdem versions. But because of the huge numbers of possible DIAdem extensions and the fact that just a few sponsors are supporting it, we gave this request a very low priority.

Greetings

It would be great to be able to make a link between different pages in a DIAdem report, and have those links carry over into a PDF version of the report. For example, if I had a very large report, it might be useful to be able to create a Table of Contents with links to the different sections of the report.


Currently, the PDF creation process will create bookmarks for the pages, but a link within the document might be easier to use when examining the report.

I agree, links would be great (as occasionally related items aren't placed directly side-by-side)!

 

In general, a 'table of contents' customizable sheet would be very useful as well.

We've created our own in the past in scripts that export large reports, but have had users complain because it didn't 'auto-update' so if they rearranged the sheets, it would be wrong.
