This is handled by CSS. In order to not have links highlighted, there would need to be a CSS rule specified as @media print, either in the webpage CSS or in the default stylesheet. > I was fooled by this and sent a document to someone without actually trying > the links. > > If you're not going to make it work, the least you could do is not fake the > appearance, you know?

Furthermore, I'm not sure if it's possible to detect if the user has selected 'Save as PDF' under macOS, or is using a PDF printer driver under any OS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551949 Title: Printing to PDF file loses URLs/links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1551949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
