PS: the CircleCI build seems to be broken. |
|
Any updates on this one? It is a helpful feature, and it's been 4 months since the build was broken |

Add PDFPage.drawLink() method that creates clickable link annotations.
Links can optionally have visible borders with customizable width and color.
Example usage:
```js
page.drawLink({
url: 'https://pdf-lib.js.org',
x: 50,
y: 50,
width: 200,
height: 20,
borderWidth: 1,
borderColor: rgb(0, 0, 1),
})
```
Fixes Hopding/pdf-lib#1691

What?
Adds
PDFPage.drawLink()so users can add hyperlinks easily.Why?
I personally needed to add several hyperlinks to a PDF. I added
createPageLinkAnnotationper the suggestion in #555, got it working in our project, and then generalised it for broader use.See also: #555, #691 , #980
How?
This follows @Hopding 's suggestion in #555.
I dug into the PDF Specification to double-check the possible setting for Border and Colour.
I have not provided all possible options; I wanted something simple and working before adding extra options.
Testing?
Added basic Unit test in
PDFPage.spec.ts.New Dependencies?
No.
Screenshots
Suggested Reading?
Yes, read the PDF Spec.
Anything Else?
Nope.
