Hi,
I am using FOP 0.20.3 and stumbled across the interesting behavior that
even if you specify an external link to a pdf file, like
<fo:basic-link color="#0000ff"
external-destination="http://www.somewhere.com/test.pdf";> some pdf file
</fo:basic-link>
the pdf link is transformed into a FileSpec.
I guess this is a bug rather than a feature and if so, can be traced to:
public PDFLink makeLink(Rectangle rect, String destination, int linkType)
in Fop-0.20.3rc/src/org/apache/fop/pdf/PDFDocument.java
which should be like this rather than with the lines uncommented:
public PDFLink makeLink(Rectangle rect, String destination,
int linkType) {
PDFLink linkObject;
PDFAction action;
PDFLink link = new PDFLink(++this.objectcount, rect);
this.objects.addElement(link);
if (linkType == LinkSet.EXTERNAL) {
// check destination
//if (destination.endsWith(".pdf")) { // FileSpec
// PDFFileSpec fileSpec = new PDFFileSpec(++this.objectcount,
// destination);
// this.objects.addElement(fileSpec);
// action = new PDFGoToRemote(++this.objectcount, fileSpec);
// this.objects.addElement(action);
// link.setAction(action);
//} else { // URI
PDFUri uri = new PDFUri(destination);
link.setAction(uri);
//}
} else { // linkType is internal
String goToReference = getGoToReference(destination);
PDFInternalLink internalLink = new PDFInternalLink(goToReference);
link.setAction(internalLink);
}
return link;
}
thanks,
