I print web pages using dopdf. When I open the pdf in either Adobe Reader 9.4 or Foxit Reader 4.2 , the links are not clickable. The links on the web pages start with http ://www (I read elsewhere in the forum they had to start with http or www and not be hidden).
The page I printed using dopdf is:
naturalhandyman.com/iip/infxtra/infpicketfence.html

Hello,
We tested the link you have mentioned but we did not find any suitable links to convert. The links must contain http ://www at the beginning or they will not be converted in the PDF. We also made some tests on pages containing links on the form http ://www.domain.com and they are working as expected.
Thank you.

On the page above the clickable link is labeled as, "Click HERE to use Al's spreadsheet online!". It is down about 3/4 on the web page.
When I hover on the link on the webpage, the link shows it begins with http ://www . It is not a "hidden link" as I've read elsewhere in the forum. Hidden links are things like white text on a white background, 1 pixel links, or links made with Javascript using code such as onMouseOver. HOWEVER, when I look at the source code for the page, the link is a relative link and not an absolute link. Are you saying links must be absolute in order to reproduce them in the pdf?

Hello,
Yes the links must be absolute to be able to be reproduced on the PDF.
As specified in the previous reply, the link must be on the form http ://www.domain.com.
Thank you for understanding.

(chuckle-chuckle) When you said, "We also made some tests on pages containing links on the form http ://www.domain.com ...", I thought you literally meant you made tests ON that website! I went to http ://www.domain.com and couldn't figure out why Softland would do a test there! I now see you meant IN the form of... . I guess I'll check the source code of the webpage from now on to be sure a link is absolute. Thanks.
