Some links not showing properly

[radue]

If you go through the attached file and position the mouse cursor over each of the embedded links, you will see that some are not being displayed correctly. I went through the entire file with Adobe Reader 9.2.0 and every link is displayed correctly with it. I have the attached file stored in "H:\Downloads\Ewen Chia\" and every link that is not displayed correctly has the following added to the front: "file:///H:/Downloads/Ewen%20Chia/" instead of starting with the actual link. I upgraded to the latest PDF-XChange 2.042.10 to see if this was fixed, but the same error shows up with it. This is the first time I have seen this problem. I tried storing the pdf in c:\z1 and saw the same problems.

Unfortunately, this problem may be peculiar to Win2000 (I am using Win2K Server). I accessed the same pdf from both WinXP & Vista on the network and all links were displayed correctly. Just to be safe, I also copied the pdf to a local folder on each of these network computers and the links were displayed correctly.

Looking forward to a solution. Thanks.

Hi,

The issue is because a URL has no protocol part, and in this situation a string like "www.microsoft.com" can be treated as a file name or site name.

In the the next build we have added a workarround for such names which begin with "www."

Glad that you figured out what is happening and will have a fix in the next release. Apparently Adobe Reader is doing the same work around. Did you figure out why it didn't work with Win2K, but did work with WinXP & Vista? Thanks.
