Always test your links before posting your document.
How to test your links:
- Open your document in a different browser where you are not logged into Boom Learning.
- Click the links - Do they take you to a Redeem page? If not, you don't have the link correct yet.
- Upload your document to where you plan to sell.
- Download it again.
- Click the links again to make sure the links were not garbled during upload.
Things that might break your links
If your document inserts a line break in the link, the link will not work.
Some users (especially Mac) will need additional tools to create a clickable redemption link in their document.
PowerPoint PC users can just use PowerPoint. Mac Users will need to use an additional option.
In Adobe Acrobat:
1. From the File menu choose Open
2. From Open choose file type All Files (*.*)
3. Select your PowerPoint file and click Open
This will create a PDF file with all the links preserved.
For Keynote:
Open your PowerPoint deck in Keynote and then generate the PDF.
Wrong deck is offered for redemption
Be careful about saving over an older .pdf as you may accidentally save 2 links. Older browsers may deliver the older link when you'd expect them to send the new one.
To avoid this problem, create a template document with no links. Copy this template to create new product and add links to the copy. Do not create a new .pdf from a copy of a .pdf with links already included.
Deck no longer for sale: Adobe Pro on Mac users
Some Mac users have reported that Adobe Pro is changing links (it substitutes ?tpt with %3Ftpt). Please triple check links if you are using Adobe Pro. You may need to manually edit the link to override the substitution.
