How to check for broken Hyperlink

@kranthireddyr,

You can retrieve the hyperlink file path, and then check whether the file exists with the following code example:

[C#]

string curFile = @"c:\temp\test.txt";
Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(curFile) ? "File exists." : "File does not exist.");

Please also refer to this help topic: Add and Get Hyperlink

Hi Imran,

Also how can i know the full path of location if link is selected as LaunchAction and URL Text if link is selected as “GoToURIAction”.

Here is my Code and Attached File in which 3 links are there i want to know the link text.HyperLinks.pdf (43.7 KB)

string path = @"F:\Applications-Names\TestFiles\HyperLinks.pdf";
            Aspose.Pdf.Document document = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(path);
            string actionType = string.Empty;
            foreach (Aspose.Pdf.Page page in document.Pages)
            {
                AnnotationSelector selector = new AnnotationSelector(new        Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.LinkAnnotation(page, Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle.Trivial));
                page.Accept(selector);
                IList list = selector.Selected;
                foreach (LinkAnnotation a in list)
                {
                    actionType = a.Action.GetType().Name;
                   if (actionType == "GoToAction")
                    {
                        GoToAction anAction = (GoToAction)a.Action;
                        if (anAction != null)
                        {
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            // Broken
                        }
                    }
                    //Console.WriteLine("\nDestination: " + (a.Action as Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.GoToURIAction).URI + "\n");
                }
            }

@kranthireddyr,

Please modify your code as follows:

[C#]

string dataDir = @"c:\pdf\test549\";
string path = dataDir + "HyperLinks.pdf";
Aspose.Pdf.Document document = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(path);
string actionType = string.Empty;
foreach (Aspose.Pdf.Page page in document.Pages)
{
    AnnotationSelector selector = new AnnotationSelector(
            new Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.LinkAnnotation(page, Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle.Trivial));
    page.Accept(selector);
    IList list = selector.Selected;
    foreach (LinkAnnotation a in list)
    {
         actionType = a.Action.GetType().Name;
         TextAbsorber absorber = new TextAbsorber();
         absorber.TextSearchOptions.LimitToPageBounds = true;
         absorber.TextSearchOptions.Rectangle = a.Rect;
         page.Accept(absorber);
         string extractedText = absorber.Text;
         // Print the text associated with hyperlink
         Console.WriteLine(extractedText);

         switch (actionType)
         {
             case "GoToAction":
                 Console.WriteLine("\nDestination: " + (a.Action as GoToAction).Destination);
                 break;
             case "LaunchAction":
                 Console.WriteLine("\nOpen file: " + (a.Action as LaunchAction).File);
                 break;
             case "GoToURIAction":
                 Console.WriteLine("\nDestination: " + (a.Action as Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.GoToURIAction).URI + "\n");
                 break;
             }
    }
}

However, we find that the code example is not retrieving the text of the links. It has been logged under the ticket ID PDFNET-43944 in our bug tracking system. We have linked your post to this ticket and will keep you informed regarding an available updates.
