    Right, same for me. I can click the link in the PDF just fine on Firefox.

      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?)

            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.
