Description Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN 2013-02-26 17:10:58 UTC
URL links are not clickable, so the links the direct to cannot be opened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PDF file that contains http links (URLs)
2. Try to click on a link to open the linked webpage
Actual Results:  
Nothing hapenes. 
Note: when the mouse hovers over the link, the cursor does not change to indicate that it is hovering over a link.

Expected Results:  
The cursor icon shoud change to indicate that it's hovering over a link. On click the link should be opened in the default web browser.

Found on Kubuntu 12.04 with backports ppa (KDE 4.10)

Please provide a document showing the issue.

Aparently it apears only in certant PDF files. I'm researching to see how those PDFs were generated.
Comment 3 jaydeep 2013-02-27 10:56:40 UTC
Actually it works only with internal links, no http links.
Will be fixed in a short period of time.

Jaydeep please, do not say lies, http links work perfectly.
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2013-02-27 21:48:08 UTC
To be perfectly clear what Jaydeep says that does not work is a random text saying "lalala foo bar http://www.kde.org la la" without declaring http://www.kde.org to be a link, but that is *OBVIOUSLY* not an http link, it's just plain text that happens to be an http link.
Comment 6 Ovidiu-Florin BOGDAN 2013-02-28 12:12:39 UTC
Aparently the PDF files that I opened were not generated corectly.
The same pdf files, opened in Google Chrome, the link's worked but the links are completly eronated. For example: every "-" in a link is replaced with "1" or "d".
No idea why.
I cannot provide those PDFs because they contain some company data, not for public use.
I cannot generate some other PDF's like those because they were generated a few years ago and those conditions cannot be reproduced.
Unless I'll find a way to generate other PDFs or get permission to publish those files, I think this bug cannot be confirmed.

Closing then. If you can prove there is wrong, please reopen it.
