Comment 1 André Klapper 2012-01-31 16:16:43 UTC

In which PDF viewer application *are* those links clickable?

Comment 2 Vadim Rutkovsky 2012-02-01 07:15:04 UTC

Links are clickable in acroread (9.4.6), not clickable in xpdf (3.02)

Comment 3 José Aliste 2013-11-07 18:47:50 UTC

Sorry for the late response. Could you say which links don't work? In the docs you mention, it does not seem to be any link...

Comment 4 Germán Poo-Caamaño 2013-11-07 19:15:02 UTC

José, look at the screenshot in launchpad.

Acroread has an option "Create links from URLs" (Preferences/General).  The PDF itself does not need to have links.  In my computer only change the cursor for something fancier, and shows the URL. Probably by lack of integration.
