Is this a privacy concern when adding URL to footnote when generating PDF?

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Olórin on March 6, 2021

I am writing a completely anonymous PDF criticism to a paper, and I added a footnote which links to a video to support my arguments. However, when I click on the link in Adobe Reader, a warning is created which shows the path of link and the path contains my FIRST AND LAST NAME (blanked out and truncated). I can reproduce this privacy intrusion on multiple other PDF readers such as SumatraPDF.

Is this a warning that is only displayed to my system or is it displayed for anyone who sees the PDF? Why would the entire path be embedded for the hyperlink?

One Answer

Use href{<URL>}{<text>} instead of only url, as in

href{http://youtube.com/watch?v=aztd}{texttt{youtube.com/watch?v=aztd}}

with an explicit http:// protocol directive.
