A search with "hyperlink" narrows it down John, then some settings for export to pdf with hyperlink wil show. It is the closest i can get because we dont'use pdfmaker. Therefore i can't look up the settings. And my feeling says it is a pdfmaker setting  |

You want the OP to rummage through 538 pages of a PDF document to find the answer to his problem? Maybe you could narrow it down for him? What page(s) should he look at?

Well I just ran a test creating a PDF from within AutoCAD of a drawing that contains a picture and a hyperlink to an Excel spreadsheet. When the PDF opened the picture was there and the hyperlink worked. I'm running AutoCAD 2017 on a computer that uses Windows 7 Pro as the OS. So, one of two things is happening. Either you are doing something wrong and don't realize it or the problem lies with Acrobat. The problem isn't AutoCAD or the OS.

< name="" id="" ="" size="40"> Yes indeed.
I just unfortunately not go back. software is imposed by management on a national level. I am forced to use DC and AutoCAD 2014.

I'm going to leave my question on the autodesk official forum.
perhaps can it better target the problem.

But you also have another variable (i.e. - the version of Acrobat being used) do you not?

I'm not a computer engineer, just a common user of software, but the OS is a data that could explain it.
I used Acrobat pro and AutoCAD 2010 on XP, and now with windows 7 is acrobat DC and autocad 2014.
In any case it should work !! either XP or windows 7 !!
