Thanks a lot, Tilman! I updated the jar file in my project, and it's indeed not
throwing an Exception any longer, but the link still doesn't work. I compared
the A dictionary of a link created in Acrobat with that created using PDFBox (I
used the PDF Debugger) and am not seeing any differences that would explain why
this is happening.
I attached the output created by the code, and the same file edited by Acrobat.
Any insight would be welcome!
PS. I added the following line to the code, just in case:
dest.setTop(0);

> Key: PDFBOX-5470
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5470
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 2.0.26
> Reporter: Gilad Denneboom
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.0.27, 3.0.0 PDFBox
>
> Attachments: EmbeddedActionTest-1.java, LinkTest.pdf,
> LinkTest_Acrobat.pdf, LinkTest_edited.pdf, StackTrace.txt
>
>
> According to Table 202 of the PDF 32000-1:2008 specs, the P key under the
> Target Directory of an Embedded Go-To Action is an "integer or byte string",
> with the following description "If the value is an integer, it specifies the
> page number (zero-based) in the current document containing the file
> attachment annotation. If the value is a string, it specifies a named
> destination in the current document that provides the page number of the file
> attachment annotation."
> However, the current implementation of PDActionEmbeddedGoTo does not accept
> using the setPageNumber command by itself when setting the Destination
> dictionary, and throws an IllegalArgumentException unless setPage is used to
> set the target page as a PDPage object, which is not specified in the
> documentation. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to specify the target as
> a string, if a named destination is to be used.
> This applies to both the Destination dictionary and the Target Directory, but
> when creating such a link in Acrobat the Target Directory does not contain a
> P value at all, only the Destination dictionary does, and in the form of a
> number. This should be possible to replicate using PDFBox.
>
> Attached are a sample file with a pre-existing link and a PDF attachment, the
> code trying to set that link's action to open the attachment on page 3, and
> the resulting error message stack trace.
