Title: HTML link printed to PDF Post by: Jeff M. on May 02, 2024, 02:41:32 pm Hi,
(Genero 3.20) We produce a document from data in the database and print out to PDF using HTML text containers. Is there a way of printing a hyperlink that works from the produced PDF file? Using <a href="http://my.webaddress.com>My Web Site[/url] in the string produces: My Web Site But it is not clickable. This may not be a Genero issue as print from Word to PDF and they don't seem to work either. Does PDF simply not support hyperlinks? Putting http//:my.webaddress.com does work but is ugly Title: Re: HTML link printed to PDF Post by: Jeff M. on May 02, 2024, 02:52:59 pm <START TAG href="http://my.webaddress.com>My Web Site<END TAG>
The tag being a with a /a as the end tag. Sorry the forum messed it up Title: Re: HTML link printed to PDF Post by: Reuben B. on May 06, 2024, 02:05:28 am Hi Jeff,
Perhaps clarify what you mean by "HTML Text Container"? and what properties you are setting. With Genero Report Writer, if you use a "WordBox" and populate the href attribute with a valid URL you get something that is clickable in SVG and PDF viewer. So I don't think it is a case of saying "Does PDF simply not support hyperlinks?" Perhaps you mean "HTML Box" which is intended for use in conjunction with data input via a TextEdit, textFormat style=html, or a "Rich Text Box" which is intended for use in conjunction with data input via the fglrichtext Web Component. For those it maybe a support issue for clarification of html supported. It has tended to be a discussion point of just how much or what html is supported. You will have seen the sanitize=yes/no presentation style with the html Label/TextEdit as to what syntax is allowed. Reuben |
