Extract hyperlinks from document page area

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:

MemberDescription
getPageThe page that contains the text area.
getRectangleThe rectangular area on the page that contains the text area.
getTextThe hyperlink text.
getUrlThe hyperlink URL.

Here are the steps to extract hyperlinks from the document page area:

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();
    }
}
