> There are many PDF documents that contain URLs but 
> are not hyperlinks.  Should create a tool which replaces

> Such a tool will be really useful.
> Some other feature of this tool coud be something like this.
> Create a link for each text that 
> matches a specific regular expression.
> with a method signature like this
> createLinks(String regex,String url)
> Where regex is the matching regular expression
> and url is the url that should be set.
> So you can combine regex groups with the link.
> For example:
> A text conatins a ordernumber like
> 123456.01.002
> an you want a link like 
> http://www.myshop.com/order.jsp?myproductid=123456&myid=01&page=002
> The regex ist something like
> ([0-9]{6})\\.([0-9]{2})\\.([0-9]{3})
> and the url something like
> http://www.myshop.com/order.jsp?myproductid=$1&myid=$2&page=$3
> bes regards Juergen
