Hyperlinks in PDF documents (not too specialized question).


It's a curious thing but trying to download some ebooks it's already several times all I get it's a PDF bearing the link in the text. But my pdf reader doesnot understand links (okular). How would you get over this difficulty?

Old info but may still work. https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=251&t=109616

I assume they just wrote the link instead of embedded?

Oh no. Firstly, the link is the name of a book, not a URL. So, secondly, I assume it is embedded. It's a pity I diddn't save the file, for I could know the pdf version.

could be that the publishers of this "ebook" just want you to read the content remotely? i.e. you aren't actually downloading an ebook, but a link to an ebook?
show us the "ebook", maybe we can debunk it.
