Extract hyperlinks from document Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Parser provides the functionality to extract hyperlinks from documents by the getHyperlinks() method:
parser.getHyperlinks() // returns Iterable<PageHyperlinkArea>
This method returns a Java Iterable collection of PageHyperlinkArea objects:
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
getPage() | The page that contains the hyperlink. |
getRectangle() | The rectangular area on the page that contains the hyperlink. |
getText() | The hyperlink text. |
getUrl() | The hyperlink URL. |
Here are the steps to extract all hyperlinks from the whole document:
- Instantiate the
Parserobject for the initial document; - Check if the document supports hyperlink extraction;
- Call the
getHyperlinks()method and obtain the collection ofPageHyperlinkAreaobjects; - Iterate through the collection and get a hyperlink text and URL.
The following example shows how to extract all hyperlinks from the whole document:
const groupdocs = require('@groupdocs/groupdocs.parser');
// Create an instance of Parser class
const parser = new groupdocs.Parser('Hyperlinks.pdf');
try {
// Check if the document supports hyperlink extraction
if (!parser.getFeatures().isHyperlinks()) {
console.log("Document doesn't support hyperlink extraction.");
} else {
// Extract hyperlinks from the document
const it = parser.getHyperlinks().iterator();
// Iterate over hyperlinks
while (it.hasNext()) {
const h = it.next();
// Print the hyperlink text
console.log(h.getText());
// Print the hyperlink URL
console.log(h.getUrl());
console.log();
}
}
} finally {
parser.close();
}
process.exit(0);
