Winnovative HTML to PDF Converter automatically converts all the URI links from HTML to URI links in PDF. You can disable this behavior completely setting the PdfDocumentOptionsLiveUrlsEnabled property to false or you can selectively disable the conversion of certain HTML links setting the data-link-enabled attribute value to false for that link in HTML. An object of PdfDocumentOptions type is exposed by the HtmlToPdfConverterPdfDocumentOptions property.
