pdfReactor generated documents don't have working links


I am trying to produce a pdf from HTML generated from ReactServer.renderStaticMarkup. I have noticed peculiar behavior around links.

As an example let's use a link to a photo. 'https://i.sstatic.net/3tICI.png'

I am able to use that link as the source of an <img> tag. However, when I try to set it as the src of an <a> the link does not function.

<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/3tICI.png">CLICK FOR SANITY</a>

putting that into the document seems like it should work, but alas it does not.

I am new to pdfReactor so there is likely something I am missing. Does anyone have some thoughts on what might resolve this issue?


Solution

  • You probably want to set addLinks: true in your config when calling PDFreactor.
