Writer document with the links
Hi Everyone,
Environment:
- LibreOffice 4.0.3.3, Win32 build, ita GUIed;
- Windows 8, 64 bit, ita GUIed;
- Adobe Acrobat Reader, XI, 11.0.2, Win32, ita GUIed.
Since 4.x versions - but maybe since before:
1. if you create a new writer document and copy in it a with-space-link
like this (directly from here or through the browser no matter):
http://support.mozilla.org/it/kb/Informazioni%20su%20Firefox%20Sync
2. save the document;
3. export the document in pdf with the default settings;
4. open the exported pdf;
5. click on the clickable link;
6. you will get this wrong link instead:
http://support.mozilla.org/it/kb/Informazioni%2520su%2520Firefox%2520Sync
7. if you open that link from the odt (as usual with a ctrl+click) you will
get instead the right link and the browser open correctly!
8. if you leave your mouse cursor on the link both on the pdf and the
odt documents you will get a correct title yellow lable ("tooltip") too!
9. I finally think there is a bug on the pdf export module.
10. This is the same if you create the above document with the Insert ->
Hypertext link menu function.
I, also, think that:
- on URLs, browsers - but maybe a behaviour stated on a well determined W3
Standard or similar open Consortium - substitute spaces with %20 hex character
code;
- %20 (!!!): that means that "%", "2" and "0" are all (!) well admitted
characters, all (!!!);
- so I don't see the reason to recursively (!!!) substitute the "%" character
when an URL is input in LibreOffice because "%" it self is already an accepted
one;
- another low probability hypotheses in my head was that LibreOffice translate
the space on a full 16 bit space character coding, but your explain about %25
representing the "%" hex code, rapidly make me clear what was happened;
- in any case (!), if you open the with-space link directly from a Writer
document (ctrl+click for friends o chaps ) you will get the right page: in
other words the link behave correctly! So the problem on pdf link behaviour has
to be fixed in LibreOffice too!!! But I do not think is a too hard to do, is
not it?
I finally had searched if there was a related issue yet, I had found this one
that may concern, but I am not so sure: Issue 63229, "Hyperlink in PDF".
So I decide to post a new one.
I have tested this on each new testing release, but only in these days I have
found the mental time to write this issue. :-)
Have a sunny day,
Carlo
