The same process in Safari results in all hyperlinks being retained in the saved PDF file. Though it may relate to the PDF plug-in issue, I could not find specific reference to this in prior bug reports. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF. 2. View using Preview (default). 3. (Tried also viewing the same PDF files on a PC using Acrobat reader.) Actual Results: PDF file does not retain hyperlinks. Expected Results: PDF file should retain hyperlinks.

The same thing happens printing to a PDF file on Linux -- so this is presumably a cross-platform problem. The hyperlinks aren't preserved printing to PDF from FF2, so this isn't a regression. The hyperlinks aren't preserved printing to a PDF file in Opera, but they are in another WebKit browser (Shiira). So there may be some clues how to do this (preserve the hyperlinks) in WebKit source code.

You can't hyperlink a bit of ink on a piece of paper, so it's not surprising that when an application renders a document for printing it doesn't put hyperlinks in it. Putting hyperlinks in a PDF file is thus outside the scope of printing, and something that we can choose to add as an enhancement. On the other hand, if we had a specific feature to save a web page as a PDF (requested in bug 162659), then how this behaves would be another matter.

Storing articles in PDF is standard proceedure for me and basic workflow. The fact that I use the macOS print dialog is just historical legacy in how "Save to PDF" has evolved in macOS. I really would love to see this. It's a bit painful having to switch browsers just to be able to have a PDF of an article where I do not loose all hyperlinks.

Nobody. Printing, as a concept, is putting ink onto paper or a similar medium. If a particular OS has PDF output built into its printing facility, or the computer has on it a printer driver for generating PDF files, then normally the content of the PDF generated thereby will be the same as the content of the paper document that the printing facility would ordinarily produce. Because printing isn't designed to do things that can't be done with ink on paper. I'm not saying it wouldn't be useful (though it should be done by implementing bug 162659, so that the feature isn't exclusive to the macOS version), just that producing hyperlinked documents isn't what printing is designed to do. Hence my claim that this is an enhancement request.

Has this bug been fixed? Sorry, excuse the noise, it's just that URLs are clickable. But links behind text are still lost :( Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1551949/comments/18 ** Changed in: thunderbird Importance: High => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551949 Title: Printing to PDF file loses URLs/links Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.
