How to generate a PDF from RoboHelp html without disturbing the links?

You mean keep working hyperlinks in the PDF? It seems (anyone who
knows otherwise, please correct me!) that RH intentionally strips the
hyperlinks out. Some people have found what *might* be a workaround -
generate a Word doc, use a VBA macro to search for text formatted with
the Hyperlink char style, take each of those instances and search for
a heading with the exact same text; if found, create a cross-ref to
that heading. AFter this, create the PDF from Word...

For more info, and the macro, see:

(try http://tinyurl.com/2o7ff9 if the link is broken)

So - if your hyperlinks are to headings, and the hyperlink text is
exactly the same as the heading text, this workaround might work for
you.

The following pages might be of help to you (especially the first, for
the wizard to export to Word doc):
