No.  It does not depend on the viewer, it depends on the operating
system and the installed editors.

I disagree. You can't click on links in a PDF file without involving a
viewer, so calling the problem viewer-independent does not make any
sense.

For example, I use Emacs as an editor.  Using xpdf as PDF viewer,
point-and-click works for me.  Using Evince, it doesn't.

That's hardly viewer-independent behavior.

Is this on Windows?

In light of your categoric statement "It does not depend on the viewer",
this question makes only sense if you can only consider something to be
a PDF viewer when running on Windows.

Sigh.  Did you notice the title of my post?

So your sentence "it depends on the operating system" was meant to refer
to the difference between Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 and so on?
It would have been less confusing then if you had phrased this as
"Windows version" rather than "operating system".

I meant "it depends on the operating system doing something" - i.e. interpreting the textedit protocol.
