email links in pdf
I'm putting an email link into my pdf using teh following fop syntax in my
xsl...
E-mail: <fo:basic-link external-destination="mailto:info@xxxx.com">
info@xxxx.com</fo:basic-link>
Clicking on the link in the created PDF brings up an email client ok but
it also brings up a browser
which tries to access the url 'mailto:info@securiandental.com'.
How do I stop it from doing the latter?
Thanks,
Tom

Interesting. Well, they're both open source, it shouldn't be too hard to find the difference. For someone who knows java anyway (not
me unfortunately).

RE: email links in pdf
Tom,
mailto: links are an "unsupported" feature in Acrobat, this problem is not
specific to FOP.
The only answer is not to use IE - Mozilla and Opera both work fine.
Unfortunately if you open the document in the Reader it ignores default
browser settings and opens IE anyway, you have to open it in the browser
(need the plugin).
Regards,
Roland
