Parse links in PDF
------------------
Key: TIKA-861
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-861
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Sasha Goodman
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.1
Currently the XHTML doesn't contain links, although PDFBox parses them. I'm new
to Tika and haven't done java for 6 years, but someone more experienced could
probably do this in a few hours.
The PDF2XHTML method loops through the annotations.
See:
{code:java}
136: for(Object o : page.getAnnotations()) {
{code}
I found some code for dealing with links in annotations:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7174709/pdfbox-not-recognizing-a-link
It involves checking the class.
{code:java}
if( annotation instanceof PDAnnotationLink ) {
PDAnnotationLink link = (PDAnnotationLink)annotation;
{code}
I hope this helps someone.
