| Summary | 0016461: cannot export PDF containing literal ascii minus character | ||||
| Description | I have been unable to find a way to export a PDF with a literal ascii minus character used as part of a URL. The character appears to be replaced with some kind of soft-hyphen character which gives incorrect URLs containing "%C2%AD" instead of the correct "-" character. I've tried inserting hyphens via "insert > character", but none of the options work or look like the right character; copy-pasting & typing directly, but hyphens just get replaced; and via "insert > glyph", but the literal "-" also gets replaced at some point. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Document creation part: - create a new document - add a text frame - type a url containing a hyphen into the text frame - export as PDF End-user part: - open in a PDF viewer - copy the URL - paste into a browser - note that hyphens are replaced with "%C2%AD", so the URL is now incorrect | ||||
| Additional Information | Given that using URLs like this is a normal thing I'd want recipients to do this is a significant limitation for me. I'm not sure how you assign priority & severity here, so I'm leaving them on the default settings. | ||||

Example URL, please? |

@jonny you could try adding a real link in the PDF, on top of the url, instead of requesting your readers to copy and paste it : cf https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Adding_Hyperlinks_to_your_Scribus_PDF_document |
