In Calc I have a web hyperlink with URL ‘www.7-zip.org’. When I Ctrl-click on it (in the .ods file), I arrive straight at the desired website. After converting to PDF (File - PDF …) however when I hoover over the hyperlink it shows ‘file:///C:/…’.
This problem does not occur in Writer.
LO version is 7.6.2.1
In Calc, click on the hyperlink and press Ctrl+K. What is the hyperlink address, not the text? Modify the hyperlink if needed
Ctrl+K shows the hyperlink address ‘https://www.7-zip.org/’.
I did some extra tests: I normaly ‘Export as PDF…’, using the option ‘Whole sheet export’ (under Structure). When I do not select this option, then the hyperlinks in the PDF are OK !
Please upload an ODF type sample file (and a PDF, too).
Cannot reproduce with 7.6.2.1 on macOS 13.6. An exported PDF from Calc results in a clickable link in the exported PDF.
Can you share a screenshot of calc showing the Hyperlink dialog for the cell in question and another screenshot of the export options you see when selecting File > Export as PDF ….
I found out that the problem only occurs when the PDF Export option ‘Whole sheet export’ is selected. Otherwise are the hyperlinks in the PDF OK.
Hereby the requested info:
- Sample file Whole_sheet_export.ods
- PDF file Whole_sheet_export.pdf
- Screenshot hyperlink dialog
- Screenshot PDF Options
Whole_sheet_export.ods (9.0 KB)
Whole_sheet_export.pdf (18.3 KB)
I was not able to upload the hyperlink dialog (‘Sorry, new users can only put one embedded media item in a post.’), but you can find the information in the .ods file.
Reproducible on Windows 11 with LibreOffice 7.6.2.1

The “Whole Sheet Export” setting was introduced in version 6.4

I see the same result in 6.4.0.1 and 6.4.1.1
Great work finding what triggers the issue. @FranDries could you file a new issue about this and once created add your sample document and exported pdf? I did a brief search but did not find a report that matched this.
