Hi,

An HTTP link can be created through Inkscape as follows:
1. Right click on a graphic,
2. Select the contextual menu item "Create Link...",
3. Right click again on the same graphic,
4. Select the contextual menu item "Link Properties",
5. Type in the field "Href" a URL such as http://www.inkscape.org ,
6. Close the dialog "Link Properties".

When the document is saved as an SVG file (through Inkscape)
and opened through a WEB browser (supporting SVGs),
then the HTTP link works correctly.

But when the document is saved as a PDF file (through Inkscape)
and opened through a PDF reader (such as Acrobat Reader),
then the HTTP link does NOT work at all !

Does anybody know how to solve this issue ?

Thank you very much for your help.

In cairo links in documents are not supported at the moment. It is on the plan for the next release cycle http://cairographics.org/roadmap/.

My workaround:
Create the links in Inkscape
Save as SVG, open in Chrome
Change margins to none
print as PDF
