| Summary | 0004261: PDF-Comments used as links are invisible in exported PDF | ||||||||||||
| Description | Whenever I mark some text as link which, when clicked, should lead the user to another page within the document, the text-link in the exported pdf is not visible, though the link is still there and works (mouse-pointer changes and document skips to the right page). This ocurred in Sribus version 1.3.3.2 and 1.3.3.3, with PDF version 1.4 and 1.5. I did not try other combinations. I use Acrobat Reader version 7 to view the documents, but I also tried xpdf with the same result. | ||||||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create new document with several pages. Insert some text on the first page, mark it as PDF-Comment, set it to type = Link, chose some other page within the document as target and then export the pdf: The link becomes invisible. | ||||||||||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||||||||||

Yep, that's the way pdf links are working. You must use 2 objects. One for the text of the link, and then the link object above the text. |

That's really a PDF implementation detail though. Couldn't Scribus abstract that so the user can make any object a PDF link, and Scribus will automatically create both the normal object (for visual appearance) and the PDF link object when it outputs the PDF? |

Oh, maybe I should have read a little bit more about PDF. Still it seems strange to me, I didn't expect that it was default behaviour. What's the use of invisible links? It would be a good idea to abstract the link-feature in Scribus, though this is certainly not one of the most important things to do. However, sorry for bothering you. |

Have played around a bit with appearance streams today. For link annotations they are ignored by Acrobat Reader. :-( Thats documented in Implementation Note 79 in the Appendix H of the PDF-References. |
