Hyperlinks do not work within by PDFWindow!

Hi,.

I use the PDFWindow to display PDF files. There are hyperlinks within these files, that also work, but not if I open the PDF-file with PDFWindow!

Can anyone tell me what the Reason is?

I want also to now if it is possible to catch Hyperlincks click into a PDF-File.

P.S: I am using the version 2.8.1 of WxPython and the version 10.0 of Adobe Reader.

Regards

Looks like this might be a problem with the ActiveX control… so maybe you can find some security option in your Internet Explorer settings.

Similar problem, but in C#

This says no events are exposed:

also take a look here:

and here:

Try using _old if you’re not already… maybe being in an IE browser will help things.

Strangely though, I bet links work just fine if you open the PDF in Internet Explorer, which would also be using ActiveX… so something doesn’t seem to match up here.
