Clickable links

[HQS <hq...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I’ve successfully implemented the string extraction and reference transformation into hyperlinks, except that,
the links are clickable but the files don’t open. I’ve set the URI to be « file:/<path to my other pdf> » and
nothing happens. If I set an http URL instead, it works (the navigator opens to the page). I’ve checked my paths, they’re correct.

I’m on Mac OS X Maverick, so the default software is Preview.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Julien

Do you have the proper amount of slashes? (Assuming you do)

This answer doesn't really apply to PDFBox specifically, but  from my
experience with local file:// URLs, is that this is an OSX security measure
which block the functionality.   This is just a hunch but I've had java
applets blocked in Safari until I changed from file:// to http://, which
was fantastically difficult to troubleshoot.
