Add an HTTP hyperlink to a PDF

Hello everyone,

Is there any way to add an http hyperlink (http://...) to a PDF file? I have tried several options, but none of them seem to work. TPDFDocumentGDI.CreateLink only seems to link to a bookmark and a bookmark can only point to a location in the current PDF, not to an external location (open a link in the default browser), if I understand it correctly.

I have also tried to generate the PDF using the TGDIPages in mORMot (using DrawTitle or AddLink), but that doesn't seem different. The link is clickable, but nothing happens. I have tried to set the URL string in the aLink parameter, but I don't know if this is the correct approach. Any idea?

And while we're at it, is it possible to remove the border (outline) of a link (hyperlink or bookmark)? I have tried setting UseOutlines to False, but that doesn't seem to have any effect on it

Any nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks!
Alex
