How do you embed a hyperlink in a text field in Crystal Reports PDF export?

I have a ASP.Net application with Crystal reports that creates text based reports. I would like one of the text fields to recognize a hyperlink and make it "clickable" in the PDF output of the report.

Is this possible?

Is it possible to embed <image> in a similiar way?

What if it is not the whole field? For example

asdf asdf asd asdf asd fasd asdf asdf as http://www.google.com asdfas asdf asd asdf asdf

You will have to build it as 3 fields.

i export to PDF by viewer, and last night i also try to write a simple report and export by my C# code.

They all have issues maintaining the hyperlink in PDF ... it seems like a Crystal Report bug.
Please advise, it is very urgent, that's the last requirement.
