Checking that hyperlinks on a PDF file are working

[AviadBen_Zaquen]

Hi all,

On a PDF file, I have embedded hyperlinks leading to other PDF files with URLs. I can't tell in advance in which page the links will appear, I do know though they always appear under a specific section title. I want the bot to identify the expected title, and then just go through each hyperlink making sure it is not corrupted.

Many thanks

Hi Aviad,

If you have Adobe acrobat pro, i think you can convert a pdf file to HTML and grab URLs since you know under what section they would appear, if your URL navigates to a source which is web based you might try to launch this URL in chrome and see if it opens a PDF or not, if it leads to a shared network location you might have to use windows explorer/CMD to open that file.

i hope this would give some hint to implement a solution for your problem.
