Hyperlinks not working in PrinceXML

Question

If I write below code in html file to convert it to PDF with prince factory it is not working properly.

<a href="http://example.com">http://google.com</a>

This above link in pdf generated from prince xml is working properly, but it is pointing to google.com instead of example.com

<a href="http://example.com">Google</a>

This link will not work as we have not written anything before google as http or https.

Can someone please help me on this?

Thanks.

Apologies! but it is written like this only.. and still not working — shruti, Feb 17 '17 at 08:02
Some PDF viewers convert strings (with or without a-tags around) to clickable links. Perhaps, this describes your first behaviour. — Kevin, Feb 21 '17 at 14:32

You can try with css model

Html

<a href="http://example.com"><span class="linkContent"></a>

CSS

.linkContent {
    content: "http://google.com"
}

Refer doc: https://www.princexml.com/doc/8.1/gen-content/

Hope it can help you!

hi you have to check the "prince-pdf-link-type" property. by default value is auto, try to change to "web" : https://www.princexml.com/doc/properties/prince-pdf-link-type/

Apologies for this. But the problem was not with PrinceXML. later after so much investigation, I found that it was problem with merging 2 documents in FPDF.

I used Zend Merger for merging 2 documents which were created by PrinceXML and it worked perfect.

Apologies and Thank you all for your help.
