Extract hyperlinks from document Leave feedback

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

IEnumerable<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
using (Parser parser = new Parser(filePath))
{
    // Check if the document supports hyperlink extraction
    if (!parser.Features.Hyperlinks)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Document isn't supports hyperlink extraction.");
        return;
    }
    // Extract hyperlinks from the document
    IEnumerable<PageHyperlinkArea> hyperlinks = parser.GetHyperlinks();
    // Iterate over hyperlinks
    foreach (PageHyperlinkArea h in hyperlinks)
    {
        // Print the hyperlink text
        Console.WriteLine(h.Text);
        // Print the hyperlink URL
        Console.WriteLine(h.Url);
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

Note

Hyperlinks are read from the document as text — GroupDocs.Parser never resolves, follows, or requests them. See Network access and data privacy for the complete list of operations that do and do not generate network traffic.
