Issue Summary

When exporting Confluence Cloud pages to PDF, some hyperlinks — particularly those located inside large table structures — become inactive or misaligned.
All links function correctly within the Confluence page itself, but in the exported PDF, certain links cannot be clicked, while others display a URL tooltip only when hovering near (not on) the linked text.
The issue is not language-dependent; it occurs regardless of whether the content is in Japanese, English, or other languages.
This suggests the root cause lies in the PDF rendering engine’s handling of hyperlink bounding boxes during layout processing.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create or open a Confluence page that contains a large table (multiple rows and columns) with numerous hyperlinks embedded within the cells.
2. From the page’s More actions (•••) menu, select Export to PDF.
3. Open the exported PDF file.
4. Attempt to click the hyperlinks within the table and compare them with hyperlinks located outside of tables.

Expected Results

All hyperlinks, both inside and outside tables, should remain correctly aligned and clickable in the exported PDF.

Actual Results

• Some hyperlinks inside the large table appear as plain text with no clickable region.
• In certain cases, hovering slightly away from the linked text displays the URL tooltip, indicating the clickable area exists but is misaligned.
• Hyperlinks outside tables behave normally.

No errors are shown in logs, as this issue occurs during the PDF rendering phase rather than content generation.

Workaround

• Workaround 1: Export the page as a Word document first, then convert it to PDF using Word’s export feature.
• Workaround 2: Move hyperlinks outside of table cells; those links remain functional after PDF export.
