Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the following code example to remove the hyperlinks from the document.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx");
doc.Range.Fields.Cast<Field>().Where(f => f.Type == FieldType.FieldHyperlink).ToList().ForEach(f => f.Remove());

doc.Save(MyDir + "18.9.pdf");

Sorry for the confusion.
My requirement is not to Remove but to convert. .
Is there any way to convert all hyperlinks to static text

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use Field.Unlink method instead of Field.Remove as shown below.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx");
doc.Range.Fields.Cast<Field>().Where(f => f.Type == FieldType.FieldHyperlink).ToList().ForEach(f => f.Unlink());

doc.Save(MyDir + "18.9.pdf");

HI Tahir,

That worked like a charm. Thanks
But site links like “www.google.com” are still showing as hyperlinks.
Is there a way to remove those as well ?

–Cheers

Hyperlinks are not exported to the output PDF. Acrobat Reader creates hyperlink by itself from the text. This behavior is controlled by “Edit->Preferences->General->Create links from URLs” checkbox.
