Description Andreas Stangl 2011-01-21 00:01:22 UTC
I'm trying to generate a PDF from anOpenOffice document that contains cross-references and a TOC. The TOC entries are properly surrounded by hyperlinks. The export works fine but the reference-links and the TOC-entries are not clickable.

If I export the same document from an ubuntu openoffice installation all the links are clickable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document containing some headlines and a table of contents
2. Surround the TOC-entries with hyperlinks by adusting the TOC settings
3. Export the doc as PDF and open it in a PDF viewer

Actual Results:  
The TOC-entries are not clickable in any common PDF viewer

Expected Results:  
Clickable references

As mentioned in the gentoo forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-853064-highlight-.html) there's a patch available:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/build/commit/?h=ooo-build-3-2-1&id=5842c9211218432206217d246b8b60bfd240b325

I tested it on two machines with 3.2.1-r1 and it fixes the problem.

Thanks for the report, but not going to backport the patch as people should move to LibreOffice anyway, the source based OOo won't see any new releases and as 3.2.1 has security bugs (and so has to be removed) I don't see any sense in patching it up.
