Description Laura CLA 2011-11-03 15:09:29 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.4.3

We have several dozen commands spread throughout 5 plug-ins. We have one plug-in where we've created a list that gathers the commands spread out in the 5 plug-ins. Users go to this list and use it like a Command Reference. They want to print a PDF to basically build a Command Reference, but they can't because the links in the gathering list just point to information, but don't actually contain the info. If the print command could be made to traverse the links, then users would be able to build the Command Reference with the relevant info populating the document.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/synhelp/v7m2r0/index.jsp
2. Open Reference > Rational Synergy reference > Alphabetical command list and highlight it.
3. In the print icon, choose Print Selected Topics and all Subtopics. Choose to print as a PDF. The resulting PDF will print with broken links. If you just print the document straight to a printer, the links will print as broken too.

This does not have anything to do with Eclipse.
