This is a dynamic PDF feature that we are not going to support soon.

Links from inside this PDF form aren't redirecting (clicking them has no effect).

Most links from this PDF have no redirect when clicked (ex. Old Age Security Act).

A similar issue is seen on this document with several links:
-
link "209.2" on page 1, section 2.
-
mail links "IRCC.CMBIMPInvestigations-EnquetesPMIDGRC.IRCC@cic.gc.ca", page 2
-
link "infosource" in the footer.
-
Weirdly enough, the "Personal Information Bank" link from the footer works correctly.

So this pdf (3e263476-df05-4803-bd04-9f9d0e058012.pdf ) is a bit painful:
- about "209.2" the JS behind is:
if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat") {
app.launchURL("http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-209.2.html", true);
}
else {
xfa.host.gotoURL("http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-209.2.html");
}
- about the IRCC... is an underlined text in blue.
- about the "infosource", same problem as "209.2"
- and finally about "Personal...", it's a real
<a href...
link.
In the first case it's a bit hard to guess what's the url to use (it's possible of course but...).
About 0f5a3305-976f-4749-9ff4-41dd9720682b.pdf
, the pattern is a bit different (app.launchURL(....
) and we already used a workaround for such case in pdf.js:
