Hi Support,

I've tried to have my local links working in the PDF but it's not because <a href="#localLink"> gets rewritten to <a href="http://mywebsite.com/mypage#localLink">.

The anchor works like that on the browser but when I export the HTML to PDFCrowd, the a tag tries to redirect to the website instead of scrolling to the corresponding anchor in the PDF file.

How can I fix this ?

Regards

Hi Again Support,

To fix the problem, I had to remove the base tag. Of course, I had to make sure the files and images were using the full URL.
