Is it possible to retain Hyperlinks from PDF

  string ghostScriptPath = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs9.09\bin\gswin32.exe";

  string inputFileName = Server.MapPath("pdf/myprofile.pdf");

  string outputFileName = @"D:\";

  string ars = "-dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=jpeg -r300 -o" + output + "-%d.jpg " + input;

    Process proc = new Process();

    proc.StartInfo.FileName = ghostScriptPath;

    proc.StartInfo.Arguments = ars;

    proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

    proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

    proc.Start();

    proc.WaitForExit();

I'm using asp.net application with c# language. I'm using the code above to convert the PDF to images using Ghost Script. Is it possible to retain Hyperlinks from PDF?

You can use PDFParser to read the PDF as text (into a string) and then parse the string yourself for "http". Just for completeness:

// create an instance of the pdfparser class
PDFParser pdfParser = new PDFParser();

// extract the text
String result = pdfParser.ExtractText(pdfFile);
if(result.ToLower().Contains("http"))
{
//split the string on known factors like a "\n" and "/" for ending the url. 
}
