Extract hyperlinks from document page area Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Parser provides the functionality to extract hyperlinks from document page area by the getHyperlinks(PageAreaOptions) and getHyperlinks(int, PageAreaOptions) methods:
Iterable<PageHyperlinkArea> getHyperlinks(PageAreaOptions options);
Iterable<PageHyperlinkArea> getHyperlinks(int pageIndex, PageAreaOptions options);
These methods return a collection of PageHyperlinkArea object:
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| getPage | The page that contains the text area. |
| getRectangle | The rectangular area on the page that contains the text area. |
| getText | The hyperlink text. |
| getUrl | The hyperlink URL. |
Here are the steps to extract hyperlinks from the document page area:
- Instantiate Parser object for the initial document;
- Check if the document supports hyperlink extraction;
- Instantiate PageAreaOptions with the rectangular area;
- Call getHyperlinks(PageAreaOptions) 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 hyperlinks from the document page area:
// 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;
}
// Create the options which are used for hyperlink extraction
PageAreaOptions options = new PageAreaOptions(new Rectangle(new Point(380, 90), new Size(150, 50)));
// Extract hyperlinks from the document page area
Iterable<PageHyperlinkArea> hyperlinks = parser.getHyperlinks(options);
// 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();
}
}
