Got stuck at page links in PDF

908059

Hi,

I got stuck at this problem: when trying to parse the links in a PDF document, I can detect the links which are URI, but for the links that go to other pages in the same document, I haven't found any solution. Search the web for hours but no luck.

Here is the code:

PdfObject aData = annotObj.getDictionary(PdfDictionary.A);

if (aData != null && aData.getNameAsConstant(PdfDictionary.S) == PdfDictionary.URI) 
                            {                
                                String text = aData.getTextStreamValue(PdfDictionary.URI);
                                System.out.println("text=" + text);
                                ret.urlList.add(text);
                            }
                            else {

                                ret.urlList.add("");
                            }

Please help.

You are basically asking for tech support on some third party PDF library which you do not even identify by name. Do you really expect answers?

Yes, I really need a solution.
I am using Sun PDF Viewer library.

Good news: after spending hours in the PDF spec, I solved the problem.

Sun PDF viewer library? Never heard of it. Are you perhaps talking about this thing?

Then please post the solution so you may help others that run into the same problem.

I have some source code that has some packages start with com.sun.pdf.* so that I think it is the Sun PDF viewer. Sorry I am not sure.

OK, I will post the solution in a separate thread.
