It wasn't until I amended the links in the original document to their
full form, eg, http://www.riscosopen.org that the links were correctly
observed in Foxit.
Actually this site doesn't need the "www." (In fact most sites today
can do without that prefix, glad to say. But that's by the by.)
You'd think the PDF spec would allow recognize-and-make-live of a bit
of text marked in the original document as a hyperlink, ideally using
some sort of style tag -- same idea as an <a href> tag in an HTML doc.
Or maybe it's already in the spec but Foxit doesn't support it yet?
What about competing PDF generators such as Adobe? Or upstart ones
that aren't yet household names?
Techwriter of course has its own built-in PDF generator and thus makes
live links (albeit with a glitch in the case John raises).
