Hi Support,
I'm playing with the "From Web Page" to convert an HTML document to PDF.
All looks fine except one problem with how links are created from <a href... >'s.
If the location of html.html is "c:\folder" and there's "<a href="subfolder/file.pdf" />link</a>", the resulting PDF will have an URI action link annotation, but the URI property will look like "file:///c:/folder/subfolder/file.pdf" (so absolute) instead of just "subfolder/file.pdf" (relative).
As a result: links no longer work if the pdf is moved elsewhere (along with subfolder).

From Web Page : <a href "relative/..."> gets converted to absolute file:/// link SOLVED

Hello,
I am sorry to report that The Dev team looked into this, the conversion of these items is handled by the WebView side of things and is unfortunately out of our control.
