Hello Diane,
If you're just starting, then use 2.0.11 and not 1.8 from which this
example is coming. There get the 2.0.11 source download, there go to the
example subdirectory, and get AddAnnotations.java. Get it to run. If you
get it running, delete all that you don't need so that only one link
annotation is left.
If the annotation is to be black, then the color is
PDColor black = new PDColor(new float[] { 0, 0, 0 }, PDDeviceRGB.INSTANCE);
In RGB colorspace, the colors are red green blue and 0 0 0 is black and
1 1 1 is white. 1 0 0 is red. 1 1 0 is yellow.
In the gray colorspace, 0 is black and 1 is white.
The coordinates start at the bottom left. (unlike java imaging where it
starts at the top left).
An A4 Page is about 600 x 800. (this is not exact, it's probably more
like 650 x 750)
Are you creating a PDF completely from scratch or do you need to modify
an existing PDF, i.e. just add the unline and the link destination?

Hello
I have a task to create a hyperlink on a pdf page. I googled and found some
code. I am not good with coordinates and do not know anything about pdfbox
PDGamma class and how to add the color black to the text. Can you please help
me?
CODE:
PDBorderStyleDictionary psd = new PDBorderStyleDictionary();
psd.setStyle(PDBorderStyleDictionary.STYLE_UNDERLINE);
PDAnnotationLink txtLink = new PDAnnotationLink();
txtLink.setBorderStyle(psd);
// txtLink.setColour(PDGamma colourBlack);
//add action
PDActionURI action = new PDActionURI();
action.setURI("http://mycode.here.com";);
txtLink.setAction(action);
//populate the url using these coordinates
PDRectangle rec = new PDRectangle();
rec.setLowerLeftX(10);
rec.setLowerLeftY(20);
rec.setUpperRightX(100);
rec.setUpperRightY(10);
txtLink.setRectangle(rec);
page.getAnnotations().add(txtLink);
thank you,
Diane
