--- Comment #4 from [email protected] <[email protected]> --- Thank toy Mike I have done an additional critical test: 1. I copied the exact hyperlink from the PDF (as displayed in the "Edit Link" dialog): file:///D:/_Dharma/_EducacionEsencial/textos/Ense%C3%B1anza/EducacionEsencial/Escuela%20Meditacion/Escuela%20Dhyana%20-%20Manual%20de%20Estudio%20-%20Itinerario%20Pedag%C3%B3gico%202026.pdf 2. I pasted this link directly into: - **Windows File Explorer** → Result: "File not found" error message - **Firefox** → Result: does not open - **Brave / Edge** → Result: opens correctly This confirms that **Windows itself does not recognize the path** when it contains percent-encoded characters like %C3%B1. Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Edge) have their own URI interpreter that successfully translates %C3%B1 to ñ, which is why they work. All programs that rely on the Windows API to open files (Wondershare PDFelement, Adobe Acrobat, Firefox, File Explorer) fail because Windows cannot resolve the path. The root cause is that LibreOffice writes the hyperlink in a format that is URI-standard but **not compatible with Windows file system expectations**. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
