Then start reading (in ISO 32000-1:2008) about URI Actions.  Then you need to 
find every place where an Action can live – I think there are about a dozen of 
them.

I mean only user-accessible URLs.

Depends on whether you mean user-accessible links or ANY links.

Also, you mean only URL's or also other types of external references?

The best place for you to start is ISO 32000-1:2008, the PDF standard.  Start 
reading….

Subject: [iText-questions] How many different ways are there to specify an 
external link in a PDF document?

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>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
