Hyperlinks Tab of Document Options Window

Hyperlinks tab of Document Options window lets you control creation of hyperlinks in Print2HTML5 documents.

Extract parsable hyperlinks option specifies if Print2HTML5 should parse hyperlinks out of document text. If a document contains a valid text string that looks like a URL, Print2HTML5 can convert this string to a hyperlink which is clickable and opens the specified URL when clicked. See Hyperlinks help topic for more information.

You may also retain hyperlinks from original documents for some types of documents without parsing them. This allows preserving hyperlinks present in original source documents. Currently Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, PDF and AutoCAD document types are supported by this method. You may turn or off this feature for each type of document using Extract hyperlinks from MS Word documents, Extract hyperlinks from MS PowerPoint documents, Extract hyperlinks from PDF documents and Extract hyperlinks from AutoCAD documents checkboxes. See Hyperlinks help topic for more information.

Link target set of controls lets you choose the target frame or browser window in which links should be opened:

  • Use target from source documents option tells Print2HTML5 to retain the target specified for these links in source documents. For example, if a link in the source document is specified with _self target, the same target will be used in the output HTML5 document. If a source document does not specify the target for a link or a link was parsed from the document text, _blank target is used.
  • Use fixed target option makes all links open in the same target window specified in the field displayed next to this option. If a source document specifies another target for a link, this target is overridden with this field value. The field offers the following choices:
    • _blank - open links in a new blank window;
    • _parent - open links in the immediate parent of the document the link is in;
    • _self - open links in the window in which the link was clicked (the active window);
    • _top - open links in the topmost window.
    You may also type another frame or window name in this field.
