General ⇒ Lose part of hyperref link during dvi->pdf conversion

[php1ic]

Compiling the MWE below, both links act as expected in the dvi file, with everything in the {} being clickable. However when I convert to pdf (dvi->ps->pdf) the "Fig." part of the first link stops being linked and clickable.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{file.eps}
\caption{blah blah}
\label{label}
\end{figure}

\hyperref[label]{Fig.~\ref{label}} blah blah \hyperref[label]{php1ic's link} Blah blah blah Blah

\end{document}

Any ideas what's happening?

Thanks

Reading the hyperref manual in more detail it looks like the internal cross-referencing re-writes the link as just the number

http://www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html

A typical use would be to write
\hyperref[other]{that nice section (\ref*{other}) we read before}

We want \ref*{other} to generate the correct number, but not to form a link, since we do this ourselves with \hyperref
