On-forward? To anyone in particular?

Sounds like it's converting the web page to PDF, as if you'd right-clicked the link and selected Open Weblink as New Document. I'm not sure how (or even if) that could become the default behavior; I don't see any preference setting for it. Maybe somebody else knows.

Could it be a property of the link? How are the links created?
