Problem with url parsing in PDF-XChange Viewer

Post by BigMike »

There seems to be a problem with parsing of urls in PDF-XChange Viewer.
Sorry, I don't have a better example. In this document there's a link in the yellow bubble. It's partly hidden by another box.
The problem is, that the link is over two lines, but only the first line is recognized.
So, PDF-XChange Viewer (2.0 build 41.5) wants to open
"ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/esfri/docs/e"

While Adobe Reader (tested with v. 7.0.8 ) recognizes the complete url:
"ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/esfri/do ... 006_en.pdf"

Regards,
Mike

In this document there are no embedded links, the Viewer just made a 'temporary' link by recognising the text as a link.
For now viewer doesn't recognize links that are split over more than one line.
