add hyperlink support using link annotations #149

Closed alpaylan closed 10 months ago

alpaylan commented 10 months ago

Mentioned in this issue, the crate previously didn't have a way of adding hyperlinks. This PR introduces Link Annotations(can be found in page 394 at Adobe PDF 1.7 format) that allows for selecting a rectangle within the page, and use it as a URI. Although it is possible to have a more general structure that supports all types of annotations, I believe that would take an enormous amount of time with little benefits in return. I will be expecting your comments.

I'll need to look into the build failures, LGTM otherwise.

Glad to hear that!

@fschutt I was wondering if you had time to look into merging this.
