URL's that wrap in Print Layout have broken links

Hi,

If I produce a PDF from the Print Layout with a URL field that wraps because it's too long to fit on one line, the link in the PDF breaks - it seems to include the line-break in the link as well (where it should only include a line-break in the text, not the hyperlink), so the hyperlink goes to whatever is on the first line of the link text, and ignores everything on the following line... Is this a bug or to be expected? 

I can fix it manually by loading the PDF into Acrobat or another PDF editor and select the two lines of the URL text and apply the link again, then it works - but that's a major pain having to go and do that manually with every link in a document every time...

Should I report that as a bug or is there a way to workaround it?

Thanks,

J.

    Yep your right - only the first line is recognised and the rest is broken off the hyperlink...

    Ninox are aware of it however I can't immediately give you a workaround but will try to find one. 😊

    Support confirm it is a bug and it is on the to do (fix) list

    At the moment there is apparently no option but to use a URL shortener- such as TinyURL or do what you are already doing.
