Boostnote: Print to PDF - Linked text not preserved

[skrodal]

Current behavior

Linking text in MD, e.g. [click here](https://google.com), renders fine in Boostnote, however when printing the document to PDF the link is not preserved (i.e. "click here" is no longer a clickable link).

Expected behavior

When exporting to PDF, linked text should be preserved.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new note and paste "[Click here](https://google.com) to search with Google"
2. File->Print, select Adobe PDF, and click Print (save to drive)
3. Open the saved PDF and observe that there is no linked text in the output

Environment

• Version : Boostnote 0.11.9
• OS Version and name : Windows 10
• Adobe Version: Adobe Acrobat Pro 2018.011.20058

Suggested solution

A dedicated export to PDF feature (rather than printing), or otherwise find a way somehow to fix it with the current printing approach.

At the moment, in order to share any notes with links I will need to rewrite any part referencing links. This is counter intuitive, since I make use of the great built-in feature that automatically brings in the web page title when pasting links.

Thank you for reporting!

It looks like it's possible to hook into Chromium's built-in print-to-pdf capabilities via WebContents.printToPDF, which should preserve the links. I wasn't able to figure out how to get a WebContents instance from this.refs.root.contentWindow though.

looks the issue has been resoved in v0.12. Linking text works as expected.
