Hi,

Having installed PDF onto OS X 10.02, when opening a PDF document from the internet, it opens it in preview, but none of the hyperlinks work.

I know they work from other platforms and lesser OS so why is it failing for?

Thanks

Jim
 
Preview is an image viewing application, not a real PDF reader. Unfortunately, PDF's are set to open in preview by default. Drag and drop the PDF on acrobat reader and it will open, with everything working as expected! To permanently change this behavior, get info on a PDF. Select the OPEN WITH triangle and you will see the default application listed. Click on the default application and you will see other choices, if available. YOu should be able to select acrobat reader, if not click "other" at the bottom and find it.
Best of luck,
PT
