Printed to PDF - no URL

The difference between *exporting* to PDF in LO and *printing* to PDF is that
in the former case a *URL link* is exported, while in the latter case just the
*text*. So, essentially, it is then up to the PDF reader, to interpret the
"http://..." text as a URL or not.

==> What happens if you copy the printed URL and paste it into a browser - does
it get opened correctly?

I tried it with a gs-based PDF printer on Linux and it does, even though the
URL text does contain ligatures after printing. In this case, one PDF reader
(Atril viewer) does not interpret the text as URL, while another (PDF-XChange
Editor, via WINE) does. Used font is Carlito, which also supports ligatures.

I'm not sure if Word disables font ligatures or not, but in LO they can be
disabled by appending “:-liga” to the font name would work around the "issue".
