Well, it should work with 1.8.27, but that release is over 10 years old...
Is it possible your version of HTMLDOC is compiled without HTTPS support? Running "ldd /usr/bin/htmldoc" will show whether it is linked against any crypto/ssl/tls libraries...
from htmldoc.

There are some ssl and crypto libs linked in
from htmldoc.
OK, well it has been compiled against OpenSSL so there is HTTPS support - maybe HTMLDOC just isn't able to negotiate a TLS connection?
You could try changing the link to "http:" and see if that is the case. Unfortunately, some web sites are blocking TLS/1.0 now and that's all you'd have with the OpenSSL on Ubuntu 16.04.
from htmldoc.

I have done all kinds of tests, with http:// instead of https:// and even without any http prefix
Same result : a clickable link that goes nowhere on the Chromeboxes used at our company, and to the Windows directory where I have downloaded the PDF on my PC. Which probably indicates that the address/link in the PDF is just empty
Guess when we'll update Ubuntu, we'll also install a newer htmldoc
from htmldoc.
