    Why yes, I have been asked for a PDF with a clickable link so I provided 😅 . Now for an unclickable link (which does sound more appropriate indeed) (same expiration date).

      That is just underlined text, and not a link from my perspective (browser and Foxit Phantom PDF).

        @robi I think that's the bug, that invoiceninja is not creating links and instead creating underlines (maybe?)

          @nebulon said in InvoiceNinja: Links don't work on PDF anymore:

          At least between admin and superadmin there is no difference with regards to the app updates, not sure why this has happened.

          I'm not sure I am an "admin", I'm not used to cloudron's rights management, but I have rights to manage users and mailboxes. 🤷

          Tried to reproduce this in our instance, but tbh I don't even know how to add links in the invoice.

          To edit the invoice template in IN: Parameters > Advanced > Invoice template (or model?) > Customize > select your template > Edit
          To add a link: "body" tab and add it in the HTML as a <a href=""> tag.

          @robi said in InvoiceNinja: Links don't work on PDF anymore:

          Perhaps this is more related to the PDF viewer.
          Feel free to provide a PDF sample with a clickable link.

          Here's a PDF with a clickable link. Real-life invoice so discretion advised please. Link will expire on the 22nd of dec for now.

          I guess you're working in a non English language as I couldn't see anything about Parameters etc.

          But I did just do this and links seemed to work fine:

          Settings -> Invoice Design -> Custom Designs -> created a new custom design using Playful as the basis, then edited the Body to add a link and it worked:

            @jdaviescoates Yes these were on-the-fly translations. And it seems that you couldn't reproduce my problem. Thanks for checking.

              I looked into this again and found that the href="" attribute needs to have a schema set. So https:// for example to render a clickable link. Maybe this is the difference? A browser would render it without a schema but maybe PDF viewers behave slightly different here.

                @nebulon No luck. I always created links with a schema, and IN built-in links parameters (such as $view_url) don't work either. Plus, if you open the unclickable PDF with a PDF editor, no link is detected at all.

                  I tried adding a footer and that does work as well:

                    I think we are running out of ideas what the difference between the instances is.

                      Maybe the demo https://my.demo.cloudron.io (username: cloudron password: cloudron) can be setup with a test setup ?

                        Perhaps the translations are breaking the links.
