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>
