Description Eyal Rozenberg 2023-09-14 22:30:35 UTC
Do the following:

1. Open a Firefox web browser
2. Search for something on DuckDuckGo
3. On the Firefox menu, select File | Print
4. Save as a PDF, with the background (I chose A4 size, portrait, and fit width to page)
5. Open the PDF in LO Draw
6. Try to click one of the search result titles

Expected results:

At step 6, clicking opens a browser window/tab with the linked-to page.

Actual results:

Nothing happens - the text is not hyperlinked.

The same thing will also happen with the URL line - which has the URL as text but not actually linked.

Note that if you open the PDF in a PDF viewer which supports hyperlinks embedded in PDFs (and most viewers do) - you will be able to click the link and get to the web page, or at the very least right-click the link and copy the address.
