PFD-XChange Editor and literal url links metadata
Posted: Thu Jan 26, 2017 10:41 am
Hi,
Literal url(web) links in PDF docs are not clickable in any PDF reader/viewer/editor (Adobe, PDF-XChange Editor, ....)
PFD-XChange Editor (build 319, FREE version) probably does not pass on literal url link related metadata to any PDF printer, and that is probably causing any PDF reader/viewer/editor to not recognize literal url links.
Here is the procedure to reproduce the problem.
With WordPad I created a rtf doc with just a few literal url links, and sent that rtf in WordPad to the BullZip and PDF-XChandeLiteV6 PDF printers. For both PDF printers the PDF output showed clickable literal url links in any PDF reader/viewer/editor (Adobe, PDF-XChange Editor, ....). So no problem at this stage. Temporary conclusion is that Bullzip and PDF-XChangeLiteV6 are working well when it comes to producing clickable literal url links.
Then next, I opened that rtf doc with PFD-XChange Editor and printed it out on the same PDF printers, BullZip and PDF-XChandeLiteV6. Now, all literal url links in *both* output PDF docs from each and *both* PDF printers are NOT clickable in any PDF reader/viewer/editor (Adobe, PDF-XChange Editor, ....).
So, my temporary conclusion is that there might be something fuzzy with XChange Editor not passing on the correct metadata to any PDF printer, thereby rendering literal links not recognizable anymore for any PDF reader.
Question, why is that? Is there a bug in the XChange Editor, or should I set particular settings in the Editor? On the website of Tracker, the free version of the Editor and the PDF printer LiteV6 should generate clickable literal url links in their PDF output.
I tested 2 PDF-XChandeLiteV6 PDF printers, that is, the one that comes with the Free Editor version and which produces watermarks, and I tried also the pure FREE version of PDF-XChandeLiteV6 (no watermarks). There was no difference in behavior between the 2 PDF-XChandeLiteV6 PDF printers.
So, how can the problem be fixed so that my XChange Editor can print PDF docs with clickable literal url links?
Thanks in advance for any help
