Hi
When converting a HTML file to PDF, anchor tags are not clickable in the resulting PDF in case the HTML contains 9 nested tables. The same HTML file with only 8 nested tables will produce a PDF, where the links are clickable. Only links on the same page with the nested tables are not clickable, other pages will work.
We convert HTML-Bodies from Emails, which may contain such deeply nested tables and we encountered the issue with non-clickable links.
I can provide basic HTML samples to reproduce the behaviour.
Thanks in advance
The following HTML contains 8 nested tables and the converted PDF has clicklable links

<body>
<table

The following HTML contains 9 nested tables but without any content. Only the presence of this nested table structure makes the links on the same page in the PDF not clickable.
