Comment 4 Hans-Werner 2025-07-01 05:29:04 UTC
Export "Test - Hyperlink Text.odt" to pdf using LO 24.8.6.2 and "LO newer" (e.g. LO 25.2.4.3).

Move the mouse pointer over the image using "exported to pdf" file

[1] Test - Hyperlink Text - LO 24.8.6.2.pdf

OKAY - The text HYPERLINK TO BOOKMARK 1 is to be seen.

[2] Test - Hyperlink Text - LO 25.2.4.3.pdf

No text is to be seen.

I'm not able to get the label with
Version: 24.8.7.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e07d0a63a46349d29051da79b1fde8160bab2a89
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: es-ES
Calc: CL threaded

like in the comment#1 file.

Please attach the screenshot of export options in tabs - General - Links.
Comment 10 Hans-Werner 2025-07-01 15:22:43 UTC
The last LO version it is working:

Version: 24.8.6.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 6d98ba145e9a8a39fc57bcc76981d1fb1316c60c
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE
Calc: CL threaded

PLEASE DO NOT USE FOR TESTING "LO 24.8.7.2 (X86_64)", it is the first version it is not working. See above: "Version (earliest affected)". PLEASE USE FOR TESTING "LO 24.8.6.2 (X86_64)" !

Therefore I added the screenshot of pdf export TAB GENERAL of "LO 24.8.6.2 (X86_64)". It is a LO parallel installation ( done  using "Separate Install GUI - Libre Office Parallel" ) without any user modifications.

Comment 13 Robert Großkopf 2025-07-02 06:49:09 UTC
Might be the label appears only with special PDF readers. Here, with Okular, will always be shown "Go to Page …". Foxit Reader (started in Wine on OpenSUSE Linux) won't show anything. Werner will use Acrobat Reader, which seems to show the link when exported with LO 24.8.6.2. Can't test it here with Linux.
Comment 14 Hans-Werner 2025-07-02 07:14:36 UTC
Yes, it's true ( Comment 13 ).

I am using "Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) 25.001.20531" to show file "Test - Hyperlink Text - LO 24.8.6.2.pdf".

Working well pdf reader due to "Test - Hyperlink Text - LO 24.8.6.2.pdf":

Hello Hans-Werner,

I cannot confirm that the bug is present in master.

Version: 25.2.4.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 33e196637044ead23f5c3226cde09b47731f7e27
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_FI); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

The text HYPERLINK TO BOOKMARK 1 is to be seen.

Hello,

what have you done ? Did you export attachment "Test - Hyperlink Text" to pdf using "LO master" ? Did you after pdf export check, if the text "HYPERLINK TO BOOKMARK 1" is to be seen ?

I just did the pdf export using "LO 25.8.0.1" and the text "HYPERLINK TO BOOKMARK 1" is not to be seen. If "LO 25.8.0.1" is not "LO master", where can I download "LO master" ?

Thanks, Hans-Werner

Found "master" at "https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html" and used "Win-x86_64@tb77-TDF - 2025-07-15-04:59:38 - LibreOfficeDev_26.2.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86-64.msi".

Exported attachment "Test - Hyperlink Text" to pdf. The text "HYPERLINK TO BOOKMARK 1" is NOT to be seen when moving the mouse pointer over the image in the new created pdf.

Don't click on image, only move mouse pointer over image.

Please take a look at attachment "Test - Hyperlink Text - different mouse pointer behavior", there you can see what I mean what's going wrong.

"LO 24.8.6.2" works well, LO newer than "LO 24.8.6.2" [2] doesn't work including "LO master" (Comment 18).
