Disabling Hyperlinks

Updated on Sep 8, 2026

By default, the drawDOM method creates clickable hyperlinks in the generated PDF document.

You can disable this behavior with the avoidLinks option.

Example

View Source

    <div id="content">
        This is <a href="https://www.telerik.com">a non-clickable link</a>.
    </div>
    <script>
        var draw = kendo.drawing;

        draw.drawDOM($("#content"), {
            avoidLinks: true,
            paperSize: "A4"
        })
        .then(function(root) {
            return draw.exportPDF(root);
        })
        .done(function(data) {
            kendo.saveAs({
                dataURI: data,
                fileName: "avoid-links.pdf"
            });
        });
    </script>
