Adding a link to a PDF
Hello,
I'm new to using the PDFBox API. Is it possible place a link to a web site in a PDF you create using this API? For example, could you create a button that when clicked opens a web browser to a specified URL. If so, which package should I begin looking at to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Stephen

This works great. I write an image to the PDF and then use setRectangle for PDAnnotationLink with coordinates that outline the image and the image basically becomes a button. Thank you.

Have a look at the AddAnnotations.java example. There, search for the segment with PDAnnotationLink
