There seems to be a render issue when opening this PDF: http://teachersresourcestoday.com/content/uploads/mypdf4.pdf

The first link, "Click me vndev60" is rendered correct. Its anchor begin with "http://".

The second link, "Click mpilink.asp" with anchor "mpi-link.asp?type=Page&PageCode=..." is render wrong. I saw that PDF Viewer render an <a> tag with href is empty. Expected : "http://teachersresourcestoday.com/content/uploads/mpi-link.asp?type=Page&PageCode=..."

The same issue with rest of links.

I see, the PDF Viewer does not understand relative links in a PDF.

For people like me who prefer to open PDFs in the stand-alone Adobe Reader, the links are relative to the temp folder in which the file has been stored temporarily, which doesn't work either.

It sounds like yet another feature to add to the viewer!

Thank you. I see this issue is logged on Bug 766086 - PDF Viewer: Linked Documents In File Do Not Open . Waiting for fixing...
