Yes, converting a relative path to an absolute makes sense, but I checked that the html data while export pdf. I found the url is relative path, but it will automatically become the absolute path after exporting pdf.

I did the following experiment：

1. create a test.html file, and edit it

   <a href="./test.txt">go to test.txt</a>
   

2. create a test.txt file in the same directory, and edit it

   test.txt
   

3. open test.html with Chrome and click go to test.txt will will jump to test.txt
4. Export test.html as pdf in Chrome using Print, then you can found the relative path will automatically become the absolute path.

So, I think the reason is Chrome Printer.
