How can I hyperlink to an external website from an image in AEM as a Cloud Service? I select the image, click Insert Cross Reference | Web Link, and drop in the URL. The software appears to let me add the hyperlink but when I publish to a PDF, the link appears and the image is gone.

Hi @KJ-upnorth 

Which cloud release version of Guides are you using?

 

Adding external link to an image and publishing to PDF rendered both the image and link in the generated PDF. Verified on latest cloud release and on-prem builds.


Example:

<p><xref href="http://adobe.com" scope="external"><image href="GUID-1bdb9ea7-f567-4913-acf7-d689e35b988c.jpg" id="image_2">
</image></xref></p>

 

Please try this and let us know if it works!

Good morning, Aswini - We are on version 2023.1.10912.20230130T173736Z.

 

Hi Aswini - Here's what I get.

 

This is what it looks like in the Guides authoring view:

Here's Guides Preview mode:

This is what the PDF looks like - just a link, no image:
