Subject: [iText-questions] Read link details of the page
> In the company, we scan documents and then link them up. The main document
> has
> page(s) of selected text linked with external documents that are usually
> in
> subdirectory. Currently if operator wants to create links from target
> document
> back to main document he/she has to run a small utility developed like 5
> years
> ago where you have to select which documents you want to link to a certain
> page.
> Then program create bookmarks back to main document. This is very slow
> especially if you have hundreds of document that are sorted
> alphabetically. Long
> search, many mistakes.
> I try to use iText, but my knowledge is still limited. Would be great if
> somebody can help little along the path. I want to create small utility

> operator provides location of main document and the utility does all the

> I try to do it as follow

> PdfDictionary page = pdfReader.getPageN(a);
> PdfArray annots = new PdfArray(page.get(PdfName.LINK));
> ListIterator linkList = annots.listIterator();
> while(linkList.hasNext() )
> {
> System.out.println(linkList.next() );
> }

> Output is NULL, but there are links on the page.
