[reportlab-users] FW: Problem with linkAbsolute in trunk.

The following code should create a visible link-rectangle on the page.
When run against trunk and with Acrobat reader 7 the rectangle is
invisible although it does show the pointer-hand when you mouse over it.

I tracked this down to the _annFormat() function of cavas.py :

 

Line 72 :

 

    border = [0,0,0]

 

followed by line 77 :

 

    D["Border"] = PDFArray(border)

 

Combine to spell doom to whatever Border you already passed in. 

 

Here's my fix :

 

def borderArrayToPython(arr):

        """Turn '[X X X]' into [X,X,X]"""

            return [int(item) for item in arr[1:-1].split(' ')]

 

 

Then at line 72 :

 

    border = borderArrayToPython(D.get("Border","[0 0 0]"))

 

Borders are back in my test program below. Can someone at RL Europe
please validate this and then fix the svn trunk with something similar
(I don't know if you want the cryptic list comprehension)?

I don't think this is the only problem with links in trunk, but it's the
simplest test case I could get it down to.

 

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

from reportlab.lib.units import inch

 

canv = canvas.Canvas('test.pdf')

canv.bookmarkPage('t1')

canv.linkAbsolute("Find the Meaning of Life", "t1",(inch, inch, 6*inch,
2*inch),Border='[1 1 1]')

canv.showPage()

canv.save()

 

Anyone got the same problem?
