None that we know of. Are the links absolute? How does the markup look like for the links. What dw version is it?

Hi Nicolai,

Links are absolute.

DW version is 9.9.8.

Markup is like this:

<a href="@productLink" target="_blank">
<h2 class="sheet-product-title sheet-product-title--lg" style="color: @nameColor">@productName <i class="fas fa-external-link-square-alt"></i></h2>
</a>

Thank you,
Adrian

So what is the resulting markup for this? Can you share a URL?

Hi Nicolai,

Here are some links: 

https://mendolafabrics.ro/Default.aspx?ID=4437

https://mendolafabrics.ro/Default.aspx?ID=4426

https://mendolafabrics.ro/Default.aspx?ID=4431

Thank you,

Hi Nicolai,

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

No, I think it is a configuration of the ABCPDF engine being used.

We have moved to ironpdf in later versions (which is also not completely problem free).

The best I can do is to dig out the source code for 9.9 so the change can be made there (if that is what is needed)

Hi Nicolai.

If that's what it takes...

I have followed the various reported issues related to IronPDF and I agree that it still has some issues. Maybe different ones but still not entirely bug-free.

I believe that the customer's request to have links in the generated PDF makes sense. If you distribute the document by email and you want your customers to be able to visit the product online, links are a required functionality.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Nicolai,

I would like to circle back to this topic in order to understand what we can do about it.

Do you think that upgrading to use IronPDf would solve this link issue?

If not, should we edit the code for the PDF provider (either ABCPDF or IronPDF)?

Isn't this a functionality that should be supported by default? On short, can we expect this link issue to be solved in newer versions?

Thank you,
Adrian
