Can't click hyperlinks in the \includepdf included pdfs

How to preserve hyperlinks in included pdf?

I am having a problem getting hyperref links work in document that is assembled from other documents that have been \includepdf included.

Here is a minimal example that reproduces the problem:

I have two documents - doc.tex and otherdoc.tex. doc.tex includes the otherdoc.pdf, which contains a \href. When the final document doc.pdf is produced, I can't click on the links in it.

doc.tex:

\documentclass[11pt]{memoir}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\begin{document} 

\includepdf{otherdoc.pdf}

\end{document}

otherdoc.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[pdftex]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks}
\hypersetup{linkcolor=blue}

\begin{document}

\clearpage

\Large \href{http://twitter.com/pkrumins}{@pkrumins}

\end{document}

I can click the link in the otherdoc.tex but as soon as I compile doc.tex, which produces doc.pdf, I can no longer click links. Any ideas how to get it working?

Hyperlinks and other annotations in included PDFs are removed by pdfTeX. So this behavior is unfortunately normal. Have a look on How to preserve hyperlinks in included pdf? for further information. This question could be taken as duplicate. — Martin Scharrer, May 08 '11 at 08:43
@Martin Would you consider making that an answer? As it is, the question is doomed to stay on the unanswered list. — vanden, May 16 '11 at 02:38
@vanden: I closed it as a duplicate instead. After all \includepdf is just a special form of \includegraphics. — Martin Scharrer, May 16 '11 at 06:20
