Google search url not converting to PDF

Using WP 20, and i created a hyperlink and copied and pasted a Google search url, which is quite lengthy, in a WordPerfect file, and it works fine.

However, when i create a PDF of that file from with WP 20, the url (hyperlink) doesn't work in the PDF.  I have to edit the link in the PDF; double work.

Why is this?  Is it because the url (hyperlink) is so long?

Here is the hyperlink:

www.google.com/search
