Remarks

The PDFHyperlink structure contains information of a single PDF hyperlink. To read hyperlinks from a PDF file, use the PDFDocument.ParsePages method with the PDFParsePagesOptions.Hyperlinks specified in the options parameter passed to the method. The PDFDocumentPage's pdfdocumentpage.hyperlinks collections will be populated with the hyperlinks of the page.

A hyper link is not a visible object on the page, rather, it is parsed from the text of the object. So for every hyperlink on a page, there will also exist the actual PDFObject of type PDFObjectType.Text that forms the hyperlink text. The PDFDocumentPage.Hyperlinks collection gives you a quick access to all the hyperlinks of a page in one convenient location.

The PDFHyperlink structure contains these properties:

Bounds: This is the location and size on the hyperlink of the link hot spot. An external viewer may choose to change the mouse cursor shape to a "Hand" when the user hovers over this link and proceed to perform the action of the link when the user clicks link.
Hyperlink: The hyperlink string read from the PDF document. An external viewer may choose to start an external application such as a web browser when this link is clicked.
TextProperties: The hyperlink text properties such as font information and color.
