In v18.5.0 or V18.5.2 of Angular PDFViewer, clickable links in PDFs don’t seem to work, including mailto links. How is this supposed to work? Is this working for anyone else?
Also, should this work when 'selection' or when 'panning' is enabled?
Hi Stijn,
I tested the PDFViewer in the following StackBlitz example that uses v18.5.0 of the Kendo UI for Angular components, where it can be observed that the clickable links feature is working as expected:
To see the results, scroll down to the bottom of the loaded PDF file and test the functionality by clicking on the `www.progress.com` link.
For reference, I am also linking below a StackBlitz example, in which the PDF file is loaded from a Base64 format string and the the `www.progress.com` link can still be clicked as expected:
With the above being said, can you please check out the linked examples and let me know if I am missing something for the reproduction of the scenario where the clickable links feature of the PDFViewer is not working as expected? If yes, please share more details about the specific use case and exact steps for replicating the experienced issue with the clickable links functionality.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I am looking forward to your reply.
