Hi Paul, This does work for me. The problem is though, that VO does not recognize, or at least announce, that it is indeed a HyperLink. So, after exporting to pdf from Pages, interact with the text area of the pdf and locate the link. If you physically click the mouse/Trackpad or use the VO-shift-space to invoke the simulated mouse-click, you should be immediately taken to Safari, or whatever browser is the default, to the desired page. VO is just not telling you that it is a link. I suspect that the sighted user sees the coloured link and simply clicks on it. This would be a deficiency with VO and Preview and should be reported to Apple Accessibility.

I have a pages document which contains hyperlinks which work fine in pages with VoiceOver saying “Link” before each hyperlink. Alas when I export this file to PDF Preview does not seem to recognise the hyperlinks. From web research this conversion ought to work OK. Do hyperlinks work in PDF documents under Preview for anyone? If so can you please point me to such a PDF document. Many thanks….
