Do hyperlinks work in presentations, documents, pdfs uploaded to SlideShare? Does this depend on how the hyperlink was created? What about internal links?

Yes, SlideShare supports hyperlinks in uploaded presentations, documents, PDFs. This is applicable for files created in any format – MS Office, Open Office and Apple iWorks (Keynote).
For hyperlinks to work, while creating the file, make sure to actually insert the hyperlinks. Just entering the URL text does not mean that the hyperlink was entered. For this, you have to use the Insert/Hyperlink command in MS PowerPoint (See this tutorial).
To understand this in greater detail, we suggest reading this blog post.
If you uploaded a PDF and you are facing this problem, you should also check if the PDF writer/creator you used preserves the hyperlinks while the PDF is being generated. Most PDF writers do preserve links, but not all.
Note: Internal links within the presentation or document are not supported on SlideShare. For instance, if slide 3 of your presentation has a link that takes you to slide 8 of the same presentation, then this linking will not work when you upload to SlideShare

I would like to know whether internal links are supported. My PDF file is an export from Powerpoint 2010 and contains links between pages. These links work perfectly within Adobe Reader. These do not seem to work on Slideshare.net.
Miles,
Internal links within the document are not supported on SlideShare.
The slides that I have uploaded all include hyperlinks that work on the online version of SlideShare. However, when I access the slides on a mobile phone (via a QR code), the hyperlinks no longer work. Do you have any suggestions on how to get hyperlinks to work on a smart phone?
