Ever since its introduction in TX Text Control 10.0, Export to PDF has always been a popular feature. Especially, as in the last few years, PDF has become ubiquitous and is correspondingly supported by most main stream word processing, spreadsheet and graphics packages.
TX Text Control 13.0 builds on the solid foundation of previous versions, but now exports hyperlinks that are defined in TX Text Control documents to their PDF pendants.
By deploying this new feature, developers can create new kinds applications that allow end users to be able to define hypertext links to:
- Cited sources within the document or to external URLs.
- Centrally stored and constantly updated legal information, in the form of PDF, HTML or DOC files.
- Complex XML-based references material.
- Supplementary information or white papers.
The following screenshots illustrate a technical document that contain hyperlinks to an external, PDF-based information source - in this case, a supplementary white paper.
The first screenshot illustrates the creation of the document in TX Text Control, in which a hyperlink has been set (illustrated by the blue underlined text) and the second shows the exported PDF version in Adobe Reader.

The same document, exported by TX Text Control to PDF. When the hypertext link is clicked, the target document is downloaded:
Please note: The responsibility of underlining and setting the color of hyperlinks to blue lies in the realm of the programmer. This is not the default behavior of TX Text Control.
