Hi Toni,

Nice find Ingo. Most URL's are actually set up as Annotation Links so this will work well on most PDF's.

Not all PDF documents are created the same way and there are various tricks that are sometimes used to implement URL links. If the url's are not annotations but are part of the normal PDF text then you will need to use the Debenu Quick PDF Library text extraction routines and then parse the raw text results looking for http:// and www.

QP.GetPageText(8) should work well.

Try Ingo's link first though as it will most likely do what you need.

Andrew.
