URL Hyperlink Generation for PDFs

3. URL Hyperlink Generation for PDFs:

Challenge: Creating reliable, clickable hyperlinks in original PDFs from data generated within Jotform (like a map URL from coordinates) is difficult.

Spaces in generated URLs (often due to widget output format) can break hyperlink auto-detection in PDF viewers.

Jotform lacks a straightforward mechanism to explicitly define a field's content as a "hyperlink" for PDF output, relying instead on PDF viewer auto-detection which can be inconsistent if the URL string isn't perfectly clean. You also cannot copy the contents of a paragraph element to am Original PDF, not even with conditions to copy between fields.

Suggested Enhancements & Solution:

Clean URL Generation: If widget outputs are improved (see 1c), this will help.

Dedicated Hyperlink Intent: Provide a mechanism (perhaps a field property) to mark a text field's content as intended to be a hyperlink in PDF outputs, improving reliability with PDF viewers.
