    Description

      Currently the XHTML doesn't contain links, although PDFBox parses them. I'm new to Tika and haven't done java for 6 years, but someone more experienced could probably do this in a few hours.

      The PDF2XHTML method loops through the annotations.

      See:

      136: for(Object o : page.getAnnotations()) {
      

      I found some code for dealing with links in annotations:
      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7174709/pdfbox-not-recognizing-a-link

      It involves checking the class.

      if( annotation instanceof PDAnnotationLink ) {
                      PDAnnotationLink link = (PDAnnotationLink)annotation;
      

      I hope this helps someone.
