Please provide an example HTML file and the command you are running. Also, what version of HTMLDOC?

This one is just in case you need it in text.

michaelrsweet commented

OK, so to start with HTMDOC 1.8.28 is ancient and not something I can really help you troubleshoot.

I'm assuming the "Own a store" link is the one you are talking about? What options are you using when you run the HTMLDOC command?

gkmundt commented 
    tmp = HTMLDOC('--webpage','--quiet','--pagelayout','one','--left','.5in','--right','.5in','--top','1.10in','--bottom','.5in','--footer','...','--fontsize','11','fontspacing','.8','--header','...','--headfootsize','8','--headfootfont','Helvetica','--browserwidth',browserWidth,'--bodyimage',t_image,'--bodyfont','Helvetica','--links','--linkstyle','plain','--linkcolor','red','--datadir',mc_pp+'/system/htmldoc','-f',pdf_fl_tmp,htm_fl)

This is how the PDF is being created and everything works except the abillity to click the link. The link is red.

I can schedule time to update HTMLDOC to a newer version, but didn't see anything relating to link issue updates in new versions.

michaelrsweet commented

I tried it with the current HTMLDOC and the link works but the table is missing for some reason...

michaelrsweet commented

Ah, a typo in the HTML (missing close tag for the first row).

Shouldn't have any issues upgrading on Red Hat.

gkmundt commented

Okay, what about the call to HTMLDOC executable in linux and how that is run.

From Linux command I type htmldoc --version and it returns: 1.8.28

From my application I call tmp=HTMLDOC('--version') and it returns: 1.8.27

Not sure why the linux extension is doing this.

michaelrsweet commented

I'm not sure what language or add-on you are using for your application, but it looks like it might have embedded its own version of HTMLDOC separate from the installed command.
