Extract hyperlinks from document Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Parser provides the functionality to extract hyperlinks from documents by the getHyperlinks method:

Iterable<PageHyperlinkArea> getHyperlinks();

This method returns a collection of PageHyperlinkArea object:

Here are the steps to extract all hyperlinks from the whole document:

• Instantiate Parser object for the initial document;
• Check if the document supports hyperlink extraction;
• Call getHyperlinks method and obtain collection of PageHyperlinkArea objects;
• Iterate through the collection and get a hyperlink text and URL.

The following example shows how to extract all hyperlinks from the whole document:

// Create an instance of Parser class
try (Parser parser = new Parser(Constants.HyperlinksPdf)) {
    // Check if the document supports hyperlink extraction
    if (!parser.getFeatures().isHyperlinks()) {
        System.out.println("Document isn't supports hyperlink extraction.");
        return;
    }
    // Extract hyperlinks from the document
    Iterable<PageHyperlinkArea> hyperlinks = parser.getHyperlinks();
    // Iterate over hyperlinks
    for (PageHyperlinkArea h : hyperlinks) {
        // Print the hyperlink text
        System.out.println(h.getText());
        // Print the hyperlink URL
        System.out.println(h.getUrl());
        System.out.println();
    }
}
