AxAcroPDF hyper links to external files not working

Guest
Sep 09, 2016 Sep 09, 2016

Hello,

I am currently using the AxAcroPDF interop component to open up PDF's.

These PDF's have hyperlinks that when running directly under Adobe Reader the links work and open up the corresponding external PDF that the link references.

However, opening the PDF with AxAcroPDF, the links do not work.  The mouse cursor does change to the touch down icon so it picks up is a link but when clicking nothing happens.

Is there something I need to do to be able to make hyperlinks work when opening PDF's with AxAcroPDF?  (i.e. a property of the component to allow navigation?)

I have seen similar posts to this but not saying whether this is a known bug or something with the configuration of AxAcroPDF.

None of the external links work - i.e.  mailto  to open up an email,  url's,  links to local PDF's,  etc.   The only links that work are those that jump within the same PDF.

Even though in both cases the PDF ends up opened within Adobe Reader, whether directly via the Adobe Reader app - or via the activeX component, I thought the behavior should therefore be the same?

Thanks in advance
