Way to check only real hyperlinks #18

Open capncodewash opened 8 years ago

capncodewash commented 8 years ago

Hi there, I've been using pdfx with the '-c' option to check links in PDFs.

I was wondering if there's a way to restrict the list of links that it checks to actual PDF hyperlinks - because it seems to also pull out any non-hyperlinked body text that contains a URL.

My PDFs sometimes contain example URLs that shouldn't validate ( e.g. http://your-subdomain.example.com ) as plain text, so I want to avoid checking these.

Thanks,

Graeme

Currently pdfx -c checks all the links without the ability to restrict to only pdfs. I will add this to the feature backlog.
