A straight forward question for you, how can I activate the hyperlinks on adobe reader software? Unforunately they have been shortened so the website desitination isn't visible for me to copy and paste. Everytime I click on a link nothing happens as if there is some between the link and my mouse icon, stopping it from working.

What should I do?

You should be able to click them if they are in BLUE , failing that just hover the mouse over them and the address should appera.

They are blue and clicking or hovering does nothing. Thanks anyway. Clotty.

Try hovering over the base line of the writing, and hold mouse still or move slowly. Some PDF file creator programs make only quite a narrow area of the words active, and if you move too fast or if you are in the wrong place you will miss the link.

Or, the very basic PDF file creators cannot make active links at all so it is possible even if it looks like a link, it is not active.

Otherwise maybe you have some security setting in your firewall/virus scanner that stops you clicking on links?

Instal version 7 and see if that helps.
