Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

I would like to request a feature for evince that will enable me to view relative links in firefox when i click them from evince. Right now, when I open a PDF in Firefox, evince will show up. Then when i try to click a relative link, it will open in Firefox but will only show the relative link without the host name part. It would be nice if there was a way to tell evince that relative links should use the host name part of where Firefox downloaded the file.
sample PDF file: http://www.pccorner.com.ph/downloads/pricelist_lettersize.pdf

Thanks and happy holidays!

Release: 8.10

I'm not sure if this is feasible, since FF downloads the pdf in /tmp and then calls evince with /tmp/filename.pdf

Oops, I though it was fixed but I was using the browser's PDF viewer.
