Embed API - Hyperlinks in IN_LINE mode non functional in new viewer

I migrated my website to the new viewer, and the hyperlinks ion PDFs that used to work in the old viewer no longer will.  If I change to FULL_WINDOW the hyperlinks function again - but the display is not as I want it as I just want the file showing and not all the controls.

Anyone know how to get around this?

Previously I have had an issue with the redirect dialogue box not appearing at certain scales - not sure if the dissappearing hyperlinks might in fact be a dissappearing dialogue box.

A page with the non-functional hyper links is here

    I reported this internally a few days ago. I don't have an update yet though on the issue.

    If I resort to the old viewer and open a pdf using that all the pdf hyperlinks in that file now function, as do all the links in any other pdf - including those using the new viewer.....  Think there may be some cookie things going on here.

    We're having this problem with our updated viewer as well - no internal links (table of contents) or external links work anymore. They didn't mention hyperlinks would be deprecated in the documentation. Any solutions?

    In the end I just used a Sized-Container solution - but not exactly what I would like.

    Hwere is my html

    <div id="XXX" style="width:100%; height:1700px;"></div>

    <script src="https://documentservices.adobe.com/view-sdk/viewer.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

     

    const previewConfigXXX = {

       embedMode: "SIZED_CONTAINER",

       showDownloadPDF: false,

       showAnnotationTools: false,

       showZoomControl: false,

       showFullScreen: false,

       showPageControls: false,

       showPrintPDF: false,

       showThumbnails: false,

       showBookmarks: false,  

       defaultviewmode: "FIT_PAGE",

       focusOnRendering: true,

       enableFormFilling: false,

       enableLinearization: true}

     

    document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){

    var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "46d06501911b4139a1ce2d4a865b961f", divId: "XXX"});

    adobeDCView.previewFile({

    content:{location: {url: "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/sqbvwlrwi4w512a/Shetland%20Tidal%20Streams.pdf"}},

    metaData:{fileName: "XXX"}

    }, previewConfigXXX);

    });

    </script>
