How would you print a hyperlink with a URL to a PDF from Revit?

 

I want to be able to click on a hyperlink in a PDF that would take me to a location on a local server or on the internet.

You should be able to create a Shared Family or Project parameter that is a type URL. Then fill in the desired URL in each family and create a custom tag using that parameter.

 

Doing a quick test of a Shared Project parameter of a type URL and printing a PDF I was able to click on the link in the tag.

@djforemandesign  I tried this the other day and nothing seemed to work. Probably user error. Thank you.

I figured out my user error. In BlueBeam, you need to have the hand selected instead of the pointer to click on the hyperlinks.

What would you consider a conventional PDF reader?
