Thanks for the speedy response. No need to worry about the web-frontend, seems like Wt already has libraries which implement that functionality.
"The PDF file header can be analysed with PoDoFo. PoDoFo does not give you direct access to headers and footers on pages in the PDF. This will require analysis of the pages content streams, which is possible using PoDoFo but no trivial task." Is there some example code? "Adding links to a PDF is no problem using PoDoFo." Excellent. Can you provide the reference?
