I tested this example. test.html
If a PDF file is created in Opera 63 and later, in the created PDF, the link is not clickable.
If a PDF file is created in Opera 62 and below, the link is clickable.

In the PDF file created in Opera 65 and 66, it seems that any links are not clickable.

@johnd78 Thanks. If you get a chance, and can narrow it down to the first build with the problem, that'd help.

In the 63 changelog, the only PDF change I see is "DNA-78740 Save as pdf does not work on sidebar’s pane". The change is listed for 2 different builds.

The first build in which all links are not clickable when saved to PDF - Opera Developer 65.0.3454.0

@johnd78 Thanks.

I don't see much in the changelog that would cause it beside a Chromium update. The Chromium update has quite a few PDF changes though.

@johnd78 Confirmed fix in that build with this test at least.

The bug was more to do with links that didn't have class attributes or something than just dynamic links. Anyway, all seems to be good now in Opera Developer.

I now have Opera 67.0.3575.79. And “Save As PDF” doesn't even save simple links from wikipedia.

@operfree The fix isn't included in Opera 67. It's in Opera 68 (Opera Beta) and Opera 69 (Opera Developer). However, it looks like there's more work to do as the table of contents links on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser) don't get saved as links.

I guess those never worked, so never mind on that part.

When using this option, original url is not stored within the generated PDF. Is that also a bug or something that never worked?

It would be great if the url is stored in the Title or Subject field of PDF's metadata.

@milolav I guess it simply was never implemented.

@leocg Should I post this under suggestions and feature requests?

@milolav If you want to suggest that feature, yes. Better do the same in Chromium forum too.
