Anyone good with viral pdf?

I could really use some help here .. lol

I've been spinning my wheels trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I tried a whole bunch of pdf creators before I found one that would produce all the links properly. I'm using viral pdf to make it rebrandable and for some reason the first link, and the last two links just don't want to work..

The program I found the best results with was openoffice although I can't make links in the program, they try and link to a file on my computer once published (pdf) even though I select (web) and it reads as a proper link before publishing.

It will work if I copy and paste it from IE (edited in dreamweaver) leaving the links working, all except 3 of them, which just come through as text.

My mind is spinning trying to figure out why my copy and paste job get's 95% of the links but fails at the important ones. >_<

I'm hoping someone is good with viral pdf and can suggest a program, or figure out what I'm missing here.

Thanks

Shawn

    Shawn,

    If you put Viral PDF aside for a moment...do the links carry over correctly when outputting to standard PDF? Also, is the original text done in Word...if so what version?

    I'm currently using open office, which will publish the pdf.. viral pdf isn't the problem if I could just produce one with clickable links I would be golden.

    My brain hurts

    Hi Shawn,

    Have you got hold of Sean Kelly (ViralPDF owner)? I had the same problem and he very quickly helped me solve the problem. I've since started using ViralPDF personal edition so this is no longer an issue for me...

    No I haven't, what blows my mind is that most of the links work. It's just the clickbank hoplinks that don't seem to. I guess I should check the support forums before I just suck it up and publish it without the hoplinks. >_<

      Hey Shawn, I just happened to see your message now

      OpenOffice has a bug here it does not like links that start with http://-

      To work around this you can use 8- and -8 tags instead of -8-

      old way: http://-8-YourAffiliateId-8-.vendor.hop.clickbank.net
      new way:
      Code:
      http://8-YourAffiliateId-8.vendor.hop.clickbank.net
      This issue exists in OpenOffice Clickbank Urls only and not in Ms-Word or any other Urls.
