ODT with example hyperlink

Writer encodes hyperlink URLs in PDF export, e.g:

Insert hyperlink with path...

path with spaces.html

This is encoded to... 

path%20with%20spaces.html

on clicking Apply.

Generated PDF has hyperlink but PDF readers encode the already-encoded link producing...

path%2520with%2520 etc

and therefore fail to open the link. Adobe Reader gives error message showing this. Foxit silently fails.

Proposed solution: decode links in PDF export?

Spaces are preserved in Rev. 1458937 upon Insert - Hyperlink.
In SumatraPDF: only tool tip when mouse over link shows %20 instead off space.

Hello,

I tried to reproduce this issue with the version 4.0 and when I exported to PDF and clicked the link I didn't see any error message in PDF readers.

Regards

Daniel Alvaro.
