Thanks for your inquiry.

We already have logged a feature request as PDFNET-40886 in our issue tracking system. We have linked your post with the ticket ID as well, so that you will receive notification once the feature is available. Furthermore, you may please use FileAttachmentAnnotation in order to provide a link to embedded file(s) inside PDF, while using following code snippet:

var pdfDocument = new Document(dataDir + "FileWithAttachment.pdf");
Page pdfPage = pdfDocument.Pages[1];
Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.FileAttachmentAnnotation fileAttachment = new Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.FileAttachmentAnnotation(pdfPage, new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(0, 0, 16, 16), pdfDocument.EmbeddedFiles[1]);
fileAttachment.Rect = new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(100, 100, 120, 120);
fileAttachment.Icon = Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.FileIcon.Paperclip;
fileAttachment.Title = "Attached file";
fileAttachment.Contents = "Attached file";
pdfDocument.Pages[1].Annotations.Add(fileAttachment);
pdfDocument.Save(dataDir + "LinktoFileWithAttachment.pdf");

Concerning to the logged feature request, we will surely let you know once we make any significant progress towards its availability. Please spare us little time.

Hi Asad,

Thanks for responding.

As this feature is not available, Is it possible for us to set the location of another hyperlink as Goto action and get it auto clicked by code.

My logic is, we will create one FileAttachmentAnnotation and we will set a reference of this in rest of the annotations/ hyperlinks.

Thanks

The ticket status can be checked at the bottom of this thread. Furthermore, we will also post an update here as soon as the earlier logged ticket is resolved.

Could you please also share a sample PDF document for our reference in which link to embedded files are already present? It would help us in investigating the functionality accordingly.
