Hyperlink to WeTransfer: url is cut off and not working

Hello

 

I have a PDF with a hyperlink to WeTransfer. The URL is shown correctly, but when hovering the URL is cut off (last 2 chars):

 

This URL does not work when using Acrobat Reader DC (both Mac / Windows). But it works perfect when opening the same PDF file in another program like Foxit Reader.

 

Attached the concerned PDF file.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Kind regards

Thanks a lot for this explanation.

The PDF was generated with WkHtmlToPdf, and the URL was in wrapped with a <span>. We have changed it into an <a> and it's working now!
