Google Fonts + Automatic Mailto Issue

wpcs_philip wrote on 2019-02-06:
Hello,

It seems PDFCrowd adds a mailto to an email address. The mailto address though gets messed up when we try to use a Google Font. See this result for the simplified example HTML below, https://screencast.com/t/8LzG4WuyWO. This happens in the API as well as at https://pdfcrowd.com/#convert_by_input.

How can we resolve this?

Thanks much!

Hello,

The problem is not in our converter. The mailto is not stored in the PDF.
You see it in Google Chrome PDF preview because it's the feature of Google Chrome.
Try to open PDF in another PDF viewer or browser (e.g. Firefox) and see that the text has not hyper link.
