Re: [iText-questions] Embedded links lost

[Andrew McLaughlin]

Okay, well that was an improvement. It appears that the hyperlink is 
surviving the aggregation process, and the mouse pointer even changes 
to a little hand with the index finger extended, however it does 
nothing when I click on it. Here's the core of my code that does the 
aggregation. Am I doing it right?

    public void generatePDF ( OutputStream outputStream ) {
        PdfReader reader = null;
        PdfImportedPage importedPage = null;
        InputStream pageInputStream = null;
        try {
//            PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance ( this, 
outputStream );
            PdfCopy writer = new PdfCopy( this, outputStream );
            this.open ();
            PdfContentByte contentByte = writer.getDirectContent ();
            boolean first = true;
            for ( Iterator i = form.getGalleryPages ().iterator (); 
i.hasNext (); ) {
                this.newPage ();
                // Import PDF document and place on page.
                pageInputStream = ( InputStream ) i.next ();
                reader = new PdfReader ( inputStreamAsByteArray ( 
pageInputStream ) );
                int pages = reader.getNumberOfPages ();
                for ( int j = 0 ; j < pages ; j++ ) {
                    importedPage = writer.getImportedPage ( reader, 
j+1 );
//                    contentByte.addTemplate ( importedPage, 0, 0 );
                    writer.addPage( importedPage );
                    if ( first ) {
                        first = false;
                        addPersonalData ( contentByte, importedPage, 
form );
                    }
                    if ( j < pages ) this.newPage();
                }
            }
            this.close ();
        } catch ( Exception e ) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            log.fatal ( "Unable to process PDF document.", e );
        }
    }

You'll notice the commented out reference to PdfWriter. One note is 
that I appear to be using iText 0.96. Should I be on a later rev?

You have to use PdfCopy to keep the links.

Subject: [iText-questions] Embedded links lost
Hi all,
I am working on a project that will dynamically built a pdf document
from smaller pdf documents. These other documents also have embedded
html links which work fine on their own. However, when I complete the
integration using iText, the links no longer work. Am I doing
something
wrong? Is there a special feature I have to enable to make those work
again?
Thanks,
Andrew
