Hello, i found out that Adobe introduced a bug with Reader 7 and 8. Every URL annotation you create with more then 233 characters will produce a "error communicating with web-browser", the url you click within a PDF document will not be opened.
This doesnt seem to be an itext issue as i can reproduce it with Acrobat 8 Professional. Just take the following example : http://itext.ugent.be/library/com/lowagie/examples/objects/anchors/AHref.java and use an url longer then 233 characters. i.e. 234 characters : http://www.google.com/search?q=11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 The link will open successfully in Adobe Reader 6 but not in 7 and 8 - no matter what external Browser you use. I tested this on multiple machines with firefox/internet explorer as default browser - Adobe Reader always returned this error. I looked up the PDF Reference and there was no indication for a maximum URI length, which leads me to believe that this is Adobes fault not following their own standard. Anyone has any experience with this ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!
