Export to PDF _with_ Comments?

[chriggi]

Hi,

is there a way to Export to PDF including both comments _and_ the cross-linking?

I'd really like a pdf version of my manuscript with comments included. The exported pdf does display the yellow markers that anchor the comment in the text but it doesn't have the comment included. I know that I can "print" a pdf with annotations being visible (as discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3112&p=17478&hilit= ... nts#p17478), but then I loose the very handy cross-referencing.

Any ideas on that?

(And of course, a table of content in the pdf document would be also be very helpful, but that's another story).

(But besides that, Mellel is really great and has been a good and realiable companion through my now 5 years of phd writing, thanks for that, Redlers!)

I'm afraid that this is not possible at the moment. The good news is that we will fix this, as well as exporting the outline (as PDF outline) when exporting to PDF in Mellel 3.4
While we're at it, this is a good time for people here to voice your requests re PDF export. We may be able to squeeze more goodies to this release.

Cool, that's very good news.

# Outline as PDF outline
# Comments as PDF comments
# Cross-References as Links in PDF (already done)

…are most important to me. Extras would be:

# Clickable footnotes (ideally back and forth)
# Clickable references (from citation to entry in bibliography) or even full reference as heads-up-display?

Exciting! When can we expect 3.4?

Eyal,

Really glad that you are working on that... Looking forward to it.
