Here is a quick LaTeX fix that will get things working in PDFkit:
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\makeatother
The command \myhref works like \href, but it forces everything to be a
URL link.
Alternatively, you can replace your \href with this command by doing:
\makeatletter
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\makeatother
I hope that helps.
