Description

Let's say I have a PDF located on a shared Windows network drive:

\\internal.server\folder 1\folder 2\flowers.pdf

and I want to refer to it from the XSL-FO file. The reference should look like this:

<fo:basic-link external-destination="url('file://///internal.server/folder%201/folder%202/flowers.pdf')">textcontent</fo:basic-link>

When building the PDF with Apache FOP this results in a broken link. When using RenderX XEP for the same XSL-FO file the link in the PDF works and opens the remote located PDF.
