I am trying to dynamically create active hyperlinks in PDF output using XSL-FO.
The code I am using traverses the Release_Notes_Documentation node, which then
calls the hyperlink template that specifies instructions for finding a string
beginning w/ http:// and turning that string into a basic link. Everything
looks great in the PDF output as the links display as active.
Unfortunately, only the 1st occurrence of an active link works correctly.
Launches the browser to display the Web page associated w/ the url. All of the
other active links (contain different but valid urls) do not launch a browser
as the action specified when viewing the link properties in Adobe Acrobat for
the other links is to "go to a page in another document" and "file" prefixes
the url. On the 1 active link that does work correctly, the action specified in
Adobe Acrobat is "open a web link".
How do I ensure that all of the active links uses the "open a web link" action?
