I am trying to discover the locations of existing external (only) links in a PDF document.

I have looked into this some within the context of iText and other tools and one of Bruno's responses mentioned that there were many ways to specify a link in a PDF.

I am aware of two so far:

1) The author could create an "annotation" which would be discoverable by iText via looking through PDF dictionary information

2) The author could simply embed "http://whatever.com/whatever"; into their text and this would automatically be seen as a link by Adobe Reader.

How many other ways are there for a PDF author to specify that a particular piece of text is a link to an external resource?

Thanks,
Wes
