Rational DOORS Export to PDF breaks hyperlinks

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to export to PDF in IBM Rational DOORS result in truncated hyperlinks in the output document.

Symptom

In a DOORS module use document generation to export text objects to a PDF file.

The document shows the complete URL for each hyperlink but longer string length URLs can not be activated.

Hover over the link and the tool tip shows a truncated URL.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enter a long URL into object text
    For example: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/doorshlp/v9/topic/com.ibm.door…

  2. Click File > Export > Document Generation > PDF...

  3. Click Export

  4. Open the PDF file
