Hello,
We are using Aspose.PDF.Drawing 25.1.0 and Aspose.Cells 25.1.2
We are loading the attached pdf containing an hyperlink to an Url.
The pdf is converted to an xlsx. The created xlsx document contains the text, but the hyperlink has not been preserved.

Here is the source code to reproduce:

        var doc = new Document ("google.pdf");
        var xlsOptions = new ExcelSaveOptions
        {
            Format = ExcelSaveOptions.ExcelFormat.XLSX
        };

        using var ms = new MemoryStream();
        doc.Save(ms, xlsOptions);
        ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

        using var xlsx = new Cells.Workbook(ms);

        xlsx.Save("google.xlsx", Cells.SaveFormat.Xlsx);

        ms.Close();

We have used below code to generated the XLSX from your PDF with Aspose.PDF:

Aspose.Pdf.Document pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(dataDir + "document.pdf");
Aspose.Pdf.ExcelSaveOptions exl = new ExcelSaveOptions();

//exl.ConversionEngine = ExcelSaveOptions.ConversionEngines.NewEngine;
exl.Format = ExcelSaveOptions.ExcelFormat.XLSX;
exl.InsertBlankColumnAtFirst = false;
exl.MinimizeTheNumberOfWorksheets = true;
pdf.Save(dataDir + "document.xlsx", exl);

We did notice that hyperlink was not recognized in Excel. However, it could be the security settings in Modern Versions of MS Excel because the link points to http://google.be instead of https://google.be. Please try with links having https:// and let us know if issue still persists.

Hello,
With https://www.google.be, it is not working neither.
