Eric Lim commented on FOP-2688:
-------------------------------
You are correct that square brackets should be escape to produce a valid URI.
I was simply going by the comments in
org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFFactory.getExternalAction, which said it supports
filename or URI. I guess this comment is not entirely correct after the URI
refactor in fop 2.x
However for the parenthesis issue, I just realize that if there is an unbalance
parenthesis, the link does not work!
7 0 obj
<< /URI (simple_%5Breport%5D_(version2.pdf)
/S /URI >>
endobj
It should be,
7 0 obj
<< /URI (simple_%5Breport%5D_\(version2.pdf)
/S /URI >>
endobj
> [PATCH] basic-link external-destination does not work for file URI with

> fo:basic-link external-destinations fails when target URIs contains
> parenthesis or square brackets.
> For square brackets, fop may throw an invalid URI exception.
> For parenthesis, fop does not escape out parenthesis for URI action.
> Parenthesis and square brackets are pretty common for file names but not for
> URIs...
