absolute URLs in PDF
--------------------
Key: FOR-1013
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1013
Project: Forrest
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin: output.pdf
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Patrick Ohly
Priority: Minor
In case someone else has the same problem: my PDFs generated by Forrest
contained relative URLs for site-internal links which the PDF viewer
then couldn't open because it didn't know the start URL. Attached is a
patch for document-to-fo.xsl which turns relative URLs into absolute
ones in the PDF. It applies to 0.8 cleanly only after also applying the
PDF summary patch in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-355#action_12505910
Otherwise be prepared for a few line offset warnings.
I enabled this in my skinconf.xml with:
...
<!--
Normally all links inside a Forrest site are relative. This
does not work well in PDFs which are typically viewed outside of
the web site. Setting this option adds the given prefix to all
relative URLs, both to the link as well as the optional, additional text.
-->
<url-prefix>http://www.estamos.de/</url-prefix>
