Glossary terms as hyperlinks in PDFs

Post by AnnaK »

Hello!
I am trying to make glossary terms look like hyperlinks in my project. I am applying MadCap.glossaryTerm.Hyperlink style to them but they are displayed in the footers in the generated PDF output. No hyperlinks. Flare help says that I can apply different glossary terms styles for online targets. Nothing about printed documents.

Does that mean that there is only one way to display glossary terms in PDF?

I too face this issue and haven't figured out a clean way to do this in Flare :( .
I just stopped using the glossary file format, .flglo, provided by Flare. Instead I created a Glossary topic and applied Heading styles to all the glossary term heads. Then manually created links to these glossary headings in other topics.
