In the company, we scan documents and then link them up. The main document has
page(s) of selected text linked with external documents that are usually in
subdirectory. Currently if operator wants to create links from target document
back to main document he/she has to run a small utility developed like 5 years
ago where you have to select which documents you want to link to a certain page.
Then program create bookmarks back to main document. This is very slow
especially if you have hundreds of document that are sorted alphabetically. Long
search, many mistakes.
I try to use iText, but my knowledge is still limited. Would be great if
somebody can help little along the path. I want to create small utility where
operator provides location of main document and the utility does all the
linking. I am familiar with creating bookmarks to document or page in the
document. However, I do not know how to retrieve information regarding the link
from the page (if present on the page).
I try to do it as follow
PdfDictionary page = pdfReader.getPageN(a);
PdfArray annots = new PdfArray(page.get(PdfName.LINK));
ListIterator linkList = annots.listIterator();
while(linkList.hasNext() )
{
System.out.println(linkList.next() );
}
Output is NULL, but there are links on the page.
Where did I go wrong? What shall I do?
