'Dead' file links in browser view

[airalsie]

Dear Tracker's

After updating from the free Viewer to the free Editor, we've run into a strange issue:
We have a few pdf files containing a links to at set of sub-ordinate pdf files; so it's a kind of 'index-pdf' or jump-list-pdf.
If we open this index-pdf directly in PDF-XChange Editor everything works as intented.
If we open this index-pdf in Internet Explorer (I.e. from our intranet) so it's shown in the browser plug-in, the embedded file links are 'dead' and inactive.
In the old PDF-XChange Viewer, we got a warning at first click, enabling us to continue opening the link and/or dismiss further warnings.
But in the new Editor nothing happens?!?! We've tried to lower the security to 'Allow it' for all actions, but to no avail.

Can you help?

Hi Martin,

Welcome to our forums.

I wonder if it is possible to provide one of the files so we can test them at our end? If you can provide a direct link to one of the files, that would work perfectly.
If you do not wish to upload/post the file to a public forum, you can send it to support@pdf-xchange.com with a link to this forum post.

Regards,
Radi

Maybe it goes about text with literal "http://"-links, having no real hyperlinks behind it.

So they can be recognized by PDF-XChange Editor as such (thanks to "Create Links from URLs ..." in Edit > Preferences > Page Text), but not by the ActiveX add-on in Internet Explorer.

Just a guess ...

Thanks for the idea Willy,

Indeed this could be one of the possible reasons for the behaviour!

Cheers,
Stefan
