Hello, and thank you in advance for any help that you can provide for my
problem.
I am trying to basically add a text(with formatting applied to it) at an
absolute position with an anchor pointing to an external link to a newly
created PDF document. I can see the text in the generated PDF, but it
seems like the anchor reference is not added to it (acts as plain text
instead of as a hyperlink). The way that I add the text is using the
ColumnText.ShowTextAligned method passing a Phrase object in which I've
added an Anchor object. I've also tried passing the Anchor object
directly but I can only see the Anchor's text, but again the text is not
clickable. I've also tried using a PdfAnnotation and the setSimpleColumn
method of ColumnText but to no success. Here's a snippet of my code:
canvas.saveState()
Chunk chunk=new Chunk("some text");
Phrase phrase=new Phrase(chunk);
Anchor anchor=new Anchor();
anchor.setName("Link");
anchor.setReference("http://www.youtube.com/";);
phrase.add(anchor);
ColumnText.showTextAligned(canvas, Element.ALIGN_UNDEFINED, phrase, 10,
10, 0);
canvas.restoreState();
