What happened?

I added a PDF I made in word using table of contents with hyperlinks. When using Adobe to read it the links work fine, when using the web version of ABS the links work fine as well. On mobile the links show up in an incorrect spot on the screen (below their actual location) and zoom does not work so the book shows up small and cant be resized.

What did you expect to happen?

Links should remain attached to the text on screen.
Zoom should work on mobile same as web is fine but pinch to zoom would be nice

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. create a document in word with a table of contents.
  2. add headings on additional pages
  3. ensure insert hyperlink option is enabled
  4. update table of contents
  5. save as PDF
  6. read PDF in ABS

This may be possible with just any pdf with links in it but the above is how I produced the problem

Audiobookshelf version

v2.21.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Windows

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

None
