Created attachment 158886 [details]
exported pdf document with endnotes; as I stated, links do not work in PDF

As it is 100% consistent with my experience, I cite the text of the weblink (link here included below)

“Trying to export my end notes of an ODT document into a PDF document the links between the anchor in the text and the end note (and wise versa) are lost. Normal links and cross-references within the document are exported. I used the command File > export as PDF”

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/63336/how-to-export-writer-end-notes-into-pdf/


To clarify:
When you insert an endnote (menu: insert-> endnote) in Writer, clicking on the link in the text brings you to the respective endnote, and clicking on the endnote link then takes you back to the place in the text you came from;
after exporting to a pdf file, none of these links are working;

As I submit this bug, the issue as described under the link on ask.libreoffice.org is already 4 years old, and I wonder this issue it hasn’t been submitted yet (or been solved).

As to the urgency of this issue:
As far as I am concerned, I actually need to export documents with endnotes into a PDF document quite often. 

As a work around, I have used the procedure as given in the answer under the above link. 


I am using the newest version
Version: 6.4.2.2 (x64)  Build ID: 4e471d8c02c9c90f512f7f9ead8875b57fcb1ec3

Also I tried several options (under: File → Export as → Export as PDF;  Tab “Links” and there all option under “general”) to no avail

Repro 7.0+ and LO 3.5.0.
One-way link used to work in OO 3.3 and Lo 3.3, as noted in bug 38187, so I first meant to keep separate and set as regression. 
But such an old regression is maybe notBibisectable. 
So I'll mark duplicate.
