Comment 4 for bug 309153

ginga, the issue you're reporting is part of a larger issue: pdf files with relative links, be it to other pdf files, or to other parts of a website.

this works when the pdf file is opened using a browser plugin.

instead, firefox saves the pdf file under /tmp and evince opens it from there, so the initial url is lost

anyways, marked as a duplicate of the more general bug 311306, please follow the comments there
