So, I want to generate PDF file without using any libraries. I able to create some text, but how can I add hyperlink to it? For example, I have this block:
14 0 obj
<<
/Length 15 0 R
>>
stream
/DeviceRGB CS
/DeviceRGB cs
q
1.0 1.0 1.0 scn
1.0 1.0 1.0 SCN
10.000000 974.900000 38.440000 11.160000 re B
0.0 0.0 0.0 scn
BT
10.000000 977.690000 Td
/Res0 10.000000 Tf
(asdfas) Tj
ET
Q
endstream
endobj
Res0 - name of font resource. What should I add to create hyperlink?

The following is taken from the link I provided in my comment.
The following line (written as html)
Here is some text <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/"> with a link </a> inside.
can be represented in a PDF as
/P <</MCID 0>> %Marked Content Sequence 0 (paragraph)
BDC %Begin marked content sequence
BT %Begin text object
/F1 11.04 Tf %set text font and size
1 0 0 1 72.024 709.54 Tm %set text matrix
0 g %set non stroking color to black
0 G %set stroke color to black
[(H)3(ere )-4(is s)10(o)5(m)-4(e)9( t)-3(e)9(xt)-3( )] TJ %Show text preceding the link" Here is some text"
ET %end text object
EMC %end marked content sequence
/Span <</MCID 1>> %Marked Content Sequence 1 (underlined link text)
BDC %Begin marked content sequence
BT %Begin text object
1 0 0 1 152.42 709.54 Tm %set text matrix
0 0 1 rg %set non-stroking color to blue
0 0 1 RG %set stroke color to blue
[(with a )-2(li)3(n)14(k)] TJ %Show link text " with a link"
ET %end text object
0 0 1 rg %set stroke color to blue
152.42 707.62 45.984 0.72 re %rectangle operator - target area for the link
f* %fill the path using the even-odd rule
EMC %end marked content sequence
/P <</MCID 2>> %Marked Content Sequence 2 (paragraph)
BDC %Begin marked content sequence
BT %begin text object
1 0 0 1 198.41 709.54 Tm %set text matrix
0 g %set non stroking color to black
0 G %set stroke color to black
[( )] TJ %empty text string showing white space
ET %end text object
BT %begin text object
1 0 0 1 200.93 709.54 Tm %set text matrix
[(in)5(sid)5(e.)] TJ %show text following the link "inside."
ET %end text
BT %begin text object
1 0 0 1 229.97 709.54 Tm %set text matrix
[( )] TJ %empty text string showing white space
ET %end text object
EMC %end marked content sequence
and to add the logic to the link use
11 0 obj %Object ID 11, generation 0, obj keyword
<</K[1 %immediate child of the structure tree root
<<
/Obj 26 0 R %reference to Object 26
/Type/OBJR %this object describes an indirect object reference
>>]
/P 12 0 R
/Pg 17 0 R
/S/Link
>>
endobj
26 0 obj %object ID 26 which is referenced by the OBJR in Object 11
<</A 31 0 R
/BS
<</S/S
/Type/Border
/W 0
>>
/Border[0 0 0] %a colorless border
/H/I
/Rect[150.128 694.558 200.551 720.0] %the boundaries defining target area where link annotation is active
/StructParent 1
/Type/Annot %Structure element is an annotation
/Subtype/Link
>> %It is a link annotation
endobj
31 0 obj %Object 31, gen 0, obj
<</S/URI %Object type is URI action
/URI(http://www.w3.org/WAI) %The Uniform resource identifier to resolve
>>
endobj
