There are no hyperlinks in the document, but only buttons of forms. So, what Poppler reads is (correctly) form widgets, and thus Okular uses them. Sorry, but there is nothing we can do about that. I just openened it with acroread and it shows many clickable hyperlinks in the places, where okular shows forms. But it also says something about a malformatted document (too fast to be read) while opening it. Greetings, Ben > I just openened it with acroread and it shows many clickable hyperlinks in the places, where okular shows forms.
You think they are hyperlinks, but they really are buttons without bevel and without the "pressed" effect. You can easily see the difference when looking at a document with real hyperlinks: right-clicking on those brings a popup menu, but right-clicking on the "hyperlinks" of this document produces no popup menu at all.
Ok, I believe you. But still, as a user I see one big difference: In Acrobat Reader I can click on the "buttons" (the hyperlinks in the text), which will open the said hyperlink (which is not a real hyperlink, I understand). In Okular nothing happens. I don't know how that works etc., and probably this behaviour in Acrobat Reader does not fulfil the official documentation of PDF, but it is still quite useful, if a document uses this feature in this way...
