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

[zarkogajic]

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).

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.

Kind regards,
