Changing Links in PDFs with Perl

[Roland Corbet]

I have been given the task of converting links in around 2000 PDF documents.

 

If I open up the PDFs in notepad, I can see the links:

 

http://www.my.link/folder/dir/my.filename

 

They need converting to relative links:

 

folder/dir/my.filename

 

I was wondering if there would be any way with Perl to change these links?  If I could read through the file, and process any text, I could do a regex substitution to change the links.

 

TIA for any help.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Roland
