Save excel file as PDF and keep hyperlinks

[Mandy_]

Hi,
I've created an excel document that has internal hyperlinks within the document to different cells. When I save as -> PDF, the hyperlinks aren't active anymore. I've searched google and here, but I'm a little lost. I don't have adobe.
I am wanting to import the (PDF) file into notability (an apple app for note taking). I'm open to other suggestions if not a PDF to make this work.
Thank you for your help.

See this path: Export Excel to PDF with Hyperlinks (2 Quick Methods) - ExcelDemy P.S. Office 365 can open pdf files.

Thank you - maybe I'm missing something. The hyperlinks (internal links to different pages within the workbook) aren't being recognised at all when it is saved as a PDF.

Have you used the workbook from that webpage? It includes more hyperlinks, active also in the excel file and after saving it as pdf. Use the XLBB add-on, Dropbox etc., to post a sample of your table.

Thank you. Here is a sample of my document. All the dates are hyperlinked to the second sheet (day planner) and they all work. Just not when the file is saved as a PDF.
I did try the document link you sent - and as they are external safari links it does make sense that the links work in this instance.

Please send an Excel format sample. Photos are not useful, as they include non-editable data. Use XLBB add-on provided by MrExcel, or any other hosting source (Dropbox, Google Docs).
