Oh, thank you.It's very kind of you to show me the source code. Thanks.
Though for now I don't quite understand your code.
Thing is, I can get the position of the text. It's page no, X coordinate,
Y coordinate, height, width, line no, start character index, end character
index, etc. But how can I access the text which is confined in this area?
The thing I want to do is to add action to it, be it goto a web page, or a
remote pdf, or a local destination. Your code is obviously extracted from a
program so it misses the context, so I don't quite understand. For example,
what is the Matrix class stands for? In itext, I don't see any class with
that name. And lastTextLineMatrix, what is it? Would you be so kind to tell
me a bit more? I'm very grateful.
