I have an ASPX page that contains Anchor elements with the HREF attribute pointing to network shared files, like this:
<a href='\\ap-erfx.americas.abc.com\e-tfx$\094\2016\Q1\RQN0893565_SomeConstructionCompany\16-0289.PDF' target='_blank'>\\ap-erfx.americas.abc.com\e-tfx$\094\2016\Q1\RQN0893565_SomeConstructionCompany\16-0289.PDF</a>

These file links are being rendered in the PDF as text, NOT a Hyperlink. However, when the URL wraps to a second line, the second line is treated as a Hyperlink, but it tries to map it to an http://... type URL.

We are currently using version 3.0 of EO.Pdf. Is there a way to get this to render as a file:// type URL consistently?

Hi,

You have a very old version. Please check if the current version works for you. We tested it here and it seems to work fine.

Thanks!

Thanks,

I was able to retest with version 15.4.18 and our 2015 license key. I'm working on a problem with our 2016 license key.

The results were better, but now all the hyperlinks are mapped to http://... links (i.e. the leading '\\' is replaced with 'http://') which is wrong, since the links are rendered as file://... on the HTML page.

Are there any options that would change this behavior?

Hi,

Please try the 2016 version. We tested it here and it works fine and created the "file://" link in the PDF file. You can verify it here:
