footnote in table with hyperlinks

Question

Answer to the problem below: I was using latex c.tex; dvipdf c.dvi to compile the pdf, instead I should use pdflatex c.tex, it also showed up that \begin{savenotes} will create links to the top of the page instead of the footnote, so instead of \begin{savenotes} and \footnote I should use \tablefootnote, credit to @cgnieder. Below the original question:

I'm trying achieve footnotes in tables that are hyperlinked (so that you can click on the footnote marker to get to the footnote text. The following example enables me to add footnotes in tables:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{footnote}

\begin{document}
\begin{savenotes}
    \begin{table}[ht]
        \centering
        \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
            \hline
            A & 1 & 2 \footnote{This is the first footnote.} \\
            \hline
            B & 2 & 1 \\
            \hline
            C & 3\footnote{This is the second footnote.} & 3 \\
            \hline
        \end{tabular}
        \caption{A table caption.}
        \end{table}%
    \end{savenotes}
Text\footnote{This footnote is hyperlinked.}
\end{document}

However the footnotes markers inside the table are not hyperlinked. Only the last one, outside the table is. Now, when I instead use

...
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{footnote}
...

That is:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{footnote}

\begin{document}
\begin{savenotes}
    \begin{table}[ht]
        \centering
        \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
            \hline
            A & 1 & 2 \footnote{This is the first footnote.} \\
            \hline
            B & 2 & 1 \\
            \hline
            C & 3\footnote{This is the second footnote.} & 3 \\
            \hline
        \end{tabular}
        \caption{A table caption.}
        \end{table}%
    \end{savenotes}
Text\footnote{This footnote is hyperlinked.}
\end{document}

I get closer, the footnote markers are not hyperlinked with a underline, however the hyperlink marker of the last footnote is hyperlinked with a box. I would like all footnote markers to be hyperlinked with a box. How can I achieve this?

Note that the question is not whether or not the footnote and footnote marker appear. I use \begin{savenotes} to do that. Rather the question is why the links are formatted as underscores and not boxes:

Answer 1

As we found out in the comments to the question if compiled with pdflatex the links are rectangles, i.e. the foodnote marks are inside the link boxes. latex + dvips leads to empty link boxes below the table footnotes instead.

The savenotes environment produces wrong hyperlinks, though. tablefootnote gets them right:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{tablefootnote}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
    \hline
     A & 1 & 2 \tablefootnote{This is the first footnote.} \\
    \hline
     B & 2 & 1 \\
    \hline
     C & 3\tablefootnote{This is the second footnote.} & 3 \\
    \hline
  \end{tabular}
  \caption{A table caption.}
\end{table}%

Text\footnote{This footnote is hyperlinked.}

\end{document}

Answer 2

In case you're willing to consider using table notes instead of footnotes, the referable option of threeparttablex would provide a suitable command, \tnotex. While the package is originally designed to work with longtable, it also extends threeparttable environment by some commands, among them \tnotex.

 

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage[referable]{threeparttablex}
\usepackage{footnote}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[ht]       
    \centering            
    \begin{threeparttable}  
        \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|}
            \hline
            A & 1 & 2 \tnote{1} \\
            \hline
            B & 2 & 1 \\
            \hline
            C & 3\tnotex{tn:2} & 3 \\
            \hline
            Line & producing & space. \\
            \hline
        \end{tabular}
        \begin{tablenotes}
            \item[1] This is the first note.
            \item[2] \label{tn:2} This is the hyperlinked note.
        \end{tablenotes}      
    \end{threeparttable}
    \caption{A table caption.}
    \end{table}%    
Text\footnote{This footnote is hyperlinked.}
\end{document}
