Thank you very much for this. It was extremely helpful in debugging. It turns out that FOP was doing its job just fine, but the generated PDFs were post processed and merged by iText which dropped the links and other annotations. (Rewriting that method to use PdfCopy instead of PdfWriter resolved the issue.)

Your example appears to work for me. What are you using to view the PDF? Could it be the PDF viewer you are using does not support hyperlinks, or requires an extra key like Ctrl+Left Click to activate a link? Here is the complete minimal working example I tried: <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="Page"> <fo:region-body/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="Page"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block> <fo:basic-link color="blue" external-destination="url(http://www.lipsum.com/)">Lorem ipsum</fo:basic-link> </fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> And here is the PDF that produces: http://khzae.net/9/uploads/2019-01-23/test.pdf Try opening that in the same PDF viewer, and see if the link works for you.
