hyperlinks not working and pdf not text searchable

Question

Hi there,

I recently bought the pro version of fireshot. When I convert the webpage to a pdf, only some hyperlinks are being converted and only these parts of the pdf are text searchable. Are there any workarounds for this?

Many thanks!

Accepted Answer

Hello. Some of the hyperlinks can be just an entry points to a JavaScript code. Since PDFs do not provide JavaScript capabilities, these links are useless. If you provide an URL causing such a problem, we can provide more details for your case.

Answer

It's hard to say without having an opportunity to look at the source. For example, the text may not be displayed in a usual way, but via SVG or PDF source. In that case FireShot cannot detect it.

Answer

RebFort, can you please send us a sample of the PDF to contacts@getfireshot.com? Thank you.

Answer

Got it, thank you.
