Beyond the Basics Setting href to create a link does not produce a working link

    Hi,

    In Inkscape 1.4 on pop os! 22.04 when i set up a link and export a pdf the link does not work. I right click, set the href (tried both a relative #page=<page_num> and an absolute, https://bbc.com) and clicking onthe object in the resulting pdf does nothing.

    What am I missing? Ideally I want to create a clickable pdf to mock up a UI.

    Will downgrading help me?

    Cheers, Tom.

    This is a known bug that will be fixed in 1.4.1:

    In the meantime, you can use downgrade to 1.3 or download the Appimage with the fix for 1.4 (see my instructions in the comment below):
