Hi @Farhan.Raza : i tried to replicate the issue with a sample file but it didnt reflect the issue in there. Actually i am setting some custom setting in the excel. So that is the reason i believe the excel shows different page numbers and when converted to pdf the pages are different. So i want to change the page numbers shown in the pdf links and the location they target. Could you please help !!

@dewan.ishi

Please note that the links will ideally be displayed exactly as they appear in the PDF file generated by Excel. Moreover, if you want to update existing PDF document, you can work with links as explained in Create, Update and Extract Link. If this does not perfectly address your requirements then please elaborate a little more with the help of screenshots, or a PDF file as expected output so that we may investigate and assist you accordingly.

                                pageNum = ((Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.XYZExplicitDestination)(annotation.Destination)).PageNumber;
                                annotation.Destination = new Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.XYZExplicitDestination(pageNum, 19.8425, 576, 0);
                                annotation.Contents = Convert.ToString(pageNum);
                                annotation.Name = Convert.ToString(pageNum);

                                //TextFragmentAbsorber tfa = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
                                //tfa.TextEditOptions = new TextEditOptions(true);
                                //page.Accept(tfa);
                                //foreach (TextFragment tf in tfa.TextFragments)
                                //{
                                //    tf.Text = Convert.ToString(pageNum);
                                //    tf.Page.Annotations.Add(annotation);
                                //}
                            }

I want to change the link in the file and change text to show the right page where the sheet is at in pdf.

@dewan.ishi

The cell J11 is pointing to A1 cell in the sheet named ‘A’ and same is the case in PDF file. While clicking the hyperlink, it leads to Page number 2 and very first cell on that page. Kindly elaborate your requirements a little more while share some screenshots and a PDF document as expected output so that we may proceed further to help you out.

hI, i am able to mapt the pages to their correct page numbers in pdf using annotations but i want the page numbers to be displayed as the hyperlink text in the pdf. The excel works fine for me it is the issue of the pdf… I can take hyperlink shown in the pdf to the respected page by using destinations. I was looking for a way where i can change the hyperlink text also.
