Q: The user manual is stating that PDF2XPS preserves hyperlinks in the
conversion from PDF to XPS. However, this doesn\'t seem to work.
------------------------
A: The problem is that the input PDF actually does not contain any
link annotations. There is however some text that says http://www.mysite.com
which acrobat reader interprets as a link. Obviously when converted
this does not work in XPS. If you would like to search the text and
add additional links to PDF before PDF to XPS conversion you can use
‘pdftron.PDF.TextExtractor’ (see TextExtract sample
http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/samplecode.html#TextExtract or
TextSearch) to find potential links and then use returned bounding
box information to create link annotations (see Annotation sample).
