I have a SPFx React application where I am printing the HTML page content using the javascript default window.print() functionality. Once I save the page as pdf from the print preview window and open it using Adobe Acrobat, the links(for eg -> <a href="https://www.google.com%22%3EGoogle%3C/a>) within the content are not clickable and appearing as plain text.
I have tried to print random pages post searching with any keywords in Google and saved the files as pdfs, but, unfortunately, the links are still not clickable there as well.
To check whether it is an Adobe Acrobat issue, I have performed the same print functionality from Android devices and shared the pdf file across the iOS devices and in that case, when opened using Adobe Acrobat, the links are appearing to be clickable.
I am wondering whether it is something related to how the default print functionality works for iPadOS and iOS devices. Any insights on this would be really helpful. Thanks!!!
Note: The links are clickable for MacOS as well as for Windows.

You have some control over this using the PDFKit APIs from Swift and Objective-C, but not the same from the JavaScript side.
