Hi Ashok,


Thanks for your inquiry. I am afraid it is Aspose community forum. For Itextsharp help, please use appropriate place for the query. However, using Aspose.Pdf for .net you can easily change text of the link. Please check last section of following documentation link to manipulate link annotation text. Hopefully it will help you to accomplish the task.


Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,

My requirement is I need to update all the hyperlinks and hyperlinks text in PDF document.

for this can you please provide any sample code and provide the link to download Aspose.Pdf dll(Mention Version of the dll also).



My project environment is Visual Studio 2012.

Hi Ashok,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that in the mentioned section, the code changes the text color. You may also use the set Text property of TextFragment to change the text and, at the same link, the second section shows how to set the link of LinkAnnotation. However, please check the following sample code snippet:

Moreover, you may download the latest version of Aspose.Pdf for .NET from the download section. To evaluate the API, you may request a 30-day temporary license and check the license implementation documentation as well. Hopefully, it will help you accomplish the task.

Document doc = new Document("input.pdf");

// get the first link annotation from the first page of the document
LinkAnnotation linkAnnot = (LinkAnnotation)doc.Pages[1].Annotations[1];

if (linkAnnot.Action is GoToURIAction)
{
    // Modification link: change link URI
    GoToURIAction goToAction = (GoToURIAction)linkAnnot.Action;
    // specify the URI for the link object
    goToAction.URI = "www.google.com";
    // save the document with the updated link

    // search the text under the annotation
    TextFragmentAbsorber ta = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
    Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle rect = linkAnnot.Rect;
    rect.LLX -= 10;
    rect.LLY -= 10;
    rect.URX += 10;
    rect.URY += 10;
    ta.TextSearchOptions = new TextSearchOptions(rect);

    ta.Visit(doc.Pages[1]);

    // Change color and text
    foreach (TextFragment tf in ta.TextFragments)
    {
        tf.TextState.ForegroundColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Red;
        tf.Text = "ClickHere";
    }
}

doc.Save("output.pdf");

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Hi Team,

Thanks for updating. It is replacing text and hyperlink. but here the issue is text is replaced with underline and with different font.



Our requirement is to replace hyperlink and hyperlink text with same font(old text font) and at the same location(if underline is there underline is required else no need of underline).



Note : If PDF document is having more than 4 hyperlinks (for ex: 20). if we execute this code in for loop we are getting following exception.

Exception : At most 4 elements (for any collection) can be viewed in evaluation mode.



Please provide the solution and License purchase details.



Regards

Ashok

Hi Ashok,


Thanks for your feedback. Please share your sample document here, we will look into it and will guide you accordingly.

Moreover, in reference to 4 element restriction exception, your are getting the exception as you are evaluating API without a valid license. Please make a request for 30 days temporary license for evaluating without any restriction. Please also check license implementation documentation.
