Description

Hi,

I have used PDFinclude to create PDF documents since last 6 years. I am using version 3.2. How do I add a hyperlink to a PDF document? For example, lets say I have the following paragraph:

"Microsoft releases Surface, a tablet that competes directly with Apple's iPad."

Now, I'd like to make Microsoft point to www.microsoft.com and Surface point to www.surface.com. How can I do that? Does PDFinclude support have that capabilities?

Thanks,
Joe

You can make links using pdf_link (see link.p in the samples/super folder), but you have to provide "manually" the coordinates of the rectangle to be clicked.
There is no tag (like , or the like) to add a link (nor underline or strike by the way).
I'd be glad to implement it, please contact me for conditions.
