Class PdfAnnotation.PdfImportedLink

java.lang.Object

com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfAnnotation.PdfImportedLink

Enclosing class:

PdfAnnotation

public static class PdfAnnotation.PdfImportedLink
extends Object

This class processes links from imported pages so that they may be active. The following example code reads a group of files and places them all on the output PDF, four pages in a single page, keeping the links active.

 String[] files = new String[] {"input1.pdf", "input2.pdf"};
 String outputFile = "output.pdf";
 int firstPage=1;
 Document document = new Document();
 PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(outputFile));
 document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4);
 float W = PageSize.A4.getWidth() / 2;
 float H = PageSize.A4.getHeight() / 2;
 document.open();
 PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
 for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    PdfReader currentReader = new PdfReader(files[i]);
    currentReader.consolidateNamedDestinations();
    for (int page = 1; page <= currentReader.getNumberOfPages(); page++) {
        PdfImportedPage importedPage = writer.getImportedPage(currentReader, page);
        float a = 0.5f;
        float e = (page % 2 == 0) ? W : 0;
        float f = (page % 4 == 1 || page % 4 == 2) ? H : 0;
        ArrayList links = currentReader.getLinks(page);
        cb.addTemplate(importedPage, a, 0, 0, a, e, f);
        for (int j = 0; j < links.size(); j++) {
            PdfAnnotation.PdfImportedLink link = (PdfAnnotation.PdfImportedLink)links.get(j);
            if (link.isInternal()) {
                int dPage = link.getDestinationPage();
                int newDestPage = (dPage-1)/4 + firstPage;
                float ee = (dPage % 2 == 0) ? W : 0;
                float ff = (dPage % 4 == 1 || dPage % 4 == 2) ? H : 0;
                link.setDestinationPage(newDestPage);
                link.transformDestination(a, 0, 0, a, ee, ff);
            }
            link.transformRect(a, 0, 0, a, e, f);
            writer.addAnnotation(link.createAnnotation(writer));
        }
        if (page % 4 == 0)
        document.newPage();
    }
    if (i < files.length - 1)
    document.newPage();
    firstPage += (currentReader.getNumberOfPages()+3)/4;
 }
 document.close();
