Hi Brett,

I have read this thread: http://support.markedapp.com/discussions/questions/16-preserving-li...

I followed the advise to open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and saved it as another version. But when clicking on a link in the toc, I receive a message from Acrobat Reader like in the attached screenshot. When clicking the link, Acrobat assuems it's an extarnal link and is opening the browser and so on ...

Is this feature still not working because of the webkit bug? Is there a way to deal with this? Maybe the solution from THC (http://support.markedapp.com/discussions/questions/16-preserving-li...)?

I am a developer so I do not have nothing against some shell-script or the like to create the PDF properly.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers

Andy

    Yes, htmldoc or pandoc is still the best way to create the PDF and
    preserve internal links.

    FWIW, I notice that the links in Marked's generated PDFs are file URIs that reference the source .md file. They're also absolute paths, so even if they had the right filename they'd be of limited utility.

    Can a URI be used for an internal link in a PDF? Or do you have to use a GoTo?

    I have zero control over what ends up in the PDF links at this point.
    It's just printed to a PDF like any other web page would be.
