PDF Reports - allowing hyperlinks

[Paolo F Cantoni]

We can now generate PDF version of our diagrams directly from EA.

However, in the process we lose the ability to follow hyperlinks within a PDF reader.

in a related topic: HTML Reports - How to maintain links?  AndyJ and I discuss how it might be possible to retain diagram linkage information from generation to generation by means of using GUIDs as folder and file names.

In trying to combat Visio (which can produce PDFs of diagrams with executable hyperlinks), it would be neat if we could do the equivalent of creating a HTML Report (Web site) but with PDFs so that non-technical punters could just "follow the bouncing ball".

The GUID process is just one solution to the problem of target consistency.

What do others think?

If we want to get modelling accepted into the wider world, we need to dramatically lower the friction involved for non-technical people can more easily "climb on board".

Thoughts?
