[Tex/LaTex] Inserting a clickable URL into moderncv not working anymore

hyperrefmoderncvurls

I tried inserting a clickable URL into ModernCV but somehow the output doesn't feature a clickable URL. This has worked in the past(on Ubuntu 12.04; with few changes such as including hyperref. Not required now since moderncv includes it) but no longer works in Ubuntu 13.10.

Here's an MWE demonstrating the issue. On compiling this, I get "Google" highlighted in NavyBlue but it is not clickable. Could someone point out what could be possibly wrong!

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,usenames,dvipsnames,svgnames,table]{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\firstname{First name}
\familyname{Last name}
\title{Curriculum Vitae}
\address{Address line 1}{Address line 2}
\mobile{Phone}
\email{Email}

\AtBeginDocument{\hypersetup{colorlinks, urlcolor=NavyBlue}}

\begin{document}
  \section{Education}
  \cventry{Year}{Degree}{University}{Location}{GPA. \href{http://google.com}{Google}}{}
\end{document}

I think I've explained the issue clearly but if there is something I could add, kindly do let me know. I'm running the following version of pdflatex on Ubuntu 13.10:

$ pdflatex -v

Edit: Corrected arguments of \cventry and \address.

Edit 2: Turns out what @IanThompson suspected was true. It is an issue with the PDF viewer I was using – Okular; the URL works fine with xpdf and Evince. I'm not closing this question though. I know it's not strictly a TeX issue but varying outputs on different editors doesn't seem good(at least to me) – a potential employer finds an unclickable URL might get annoyed, causing unnecessary issues(there can be more possible cases too). If someone can propose a solution to this, it would be great. And no @IanThompson's answer of adding 'www.' before 'google.com' didn't work either.

Best Answer

I think you need www. before google.com. The following example caused the same problem in Adobe Reader 9 (linux), though it worked ok for some other viewers. After inserting www. it worked for all the viewers I tried.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\href{http://google.com}{Google} % Insert www. before google!
\end{document}
