I am using NeoOffice 2.1 (Patch 1). After export to PDF all my clickable links change their color. In NeoOffice they have a strong blue, which I like. In the PDF the blue is very dark, nearly black. So links are hard to recognize in a black text.
(v1.0.2 )
Actually, it may simply be that each PDF reader app (i.e. Preview, Adobe Reader etc.) decides for itself what colour it will use to display links in a PDF doc, unless you specify the colour on a per-link basis, otherwise Neo just exports the link without colour instructions.
Some experiment suggests that NeoOffice uses a particular colour just for display purposes (I think it's the one set in Preferences-NeoOffice-Appearance-Unvisited Links); that link colour is not saved in the PDF doc itself unless you deliberately change the link font colour:
Ctrl-click on a link in your Neo doc and go to Character... in the contextual menu, you can edit the font colour in the Font Effects panel - if you choose a colour other than the default, the chosen colour will not only display in the whole URL, but will also successfully survive print/export as PDF. You'll have to do this for each URL in the doc, though.
