Hi Team,

Can you please guide me with some sample code which processes the word document to disable the hyperlinks when converted to PDF?

PFA - Sample word document with some hyperlinks.

Found http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsjava/How+to++Replace+or+Modify+Hyperlinks

But wanted a simple way to disable the hyperlinks when converted to PDF. Hope to get a simple yet concrete code to handle disabling of all kind of hyperlinks.

Thanks,

Satyendra

Hi Satyendra,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can convert all Hyperlink fields in a Word document to static texts by using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\Hyperlink_Test.docx");
FieldsHelper.convertFieldsToStaticText(doc, FieldType.FIELD_HYPERLINK);
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.pdf");

You can find the implementation of “convertFieldsToStaticText” method in the following page:

If we can help you with anything else, please feel free to ask.

PS: However, upon opening the output Pdf document with Pdf readers (Acrobat, Chrome, Foxit etc), it appears that these readers treat normal text starting with “http://” as links.

Best regards,

Tahir,

Is this class not part of Aspose.words implementation?
Should we separately create this class and then use it?

Thanks,

Hi Satyendra,

Thanks for your inquiry. The FieldsHelper class is not a part of Aspose.Words for Java API. You can reuse the code of FieldsHelper class. If we can help you with anything else, please feel free to ask.
