Have a problem with the PDF versions of my content. If the content contains any links e.g. to taxonomy tags, footer links or other pages on the site - the links in the PDF version points to file:// instead of http://mysitename/. So none of my links work in the PDFs. They display correctly in the 'send to email' and 'printer-friendly' versions just not the PDF version.

Couldn't find any report of the issue so don't know if this has been fixed already.

Thanks!

Hi,

The replacement of URLs to file URLs happens only if the following are all true:

1. You're generating a PDF.
2. Drupal's file system settings is set to private.
3. The tag is an img tag.

I can't understand how (3) is failing for you. Can you attach the contents of the 'printer-friendly version' HTML source code?

Thanks,

João

Hi there,

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

Yes I'm generating a PDF from the content on the page. The download method in admin/settings/file-system is actually set to Public. Not sure what tag you're talking about. The link is just a simple text link, no images involved.

I've attached the HTML. At the end of the page - just above 'Source URL' there is a link to mycompany News that's working in this printer-friendly version but when I want it in PDF the link points to file://

Thanks again for you help. Let me know if you need anything.

Hi,

I took a look at it, it has nothing to do with the replacement I was talking about in #1. It's actually a 'bug' in TCPDF which seems to be unable to handle relative URLs. This is easily fixable in my side of things, so in a couple of days I should have it.

Hi,

I have just committed some code that converts all the URLs in a PDF to absolute, which should fix your problem. It will be in tomorrow's dev version.
