I figured out it may have to do with how the PDF file was created. In the attachment, none of the links are activated - meaning, the mouse pointer does not change when I hover over the link, and the link is not clickable.
I re-created page 3 of the first attachment using OpenOffice's "Export to PDF" function. With the resulting document, the links work; however, it only pops up an error stating "Failed to execute child process "firefox" (No such file or directory)". I don't know how to change the command for launching the browser from within Evince, so I had to create a symlink to firefox-2 in usr/bin/ to make it work. ** Attachment added: "it210_course_syllabus.pdf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17125682/it210_course_syllabus.pdf -- Hyperlinks within PDF files do not work properly in evince https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
