What Bruno says is true, but I've had pretty good success extracting links with iText. It doesn't give much high-level support, so you'll have to read the Pdf spec, but the iText primitives are enough for you to find the Annotation array, check its type, get its action dictionary, etc. Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
