Hello Tillman We are using the 1.8.10.jar and I created the pdf from scratch. My pdf is complete and at the last minute the end user requested the link close to top of the page. Can I use the code sample I provided and tweak it? If I do use the PDGamma class do I need to create a method to return a PDGamma object for the color black? Any suggestions will be very helpful. Thank you too for the explanation about coordinates.

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?
