Is there a "console way" to find out the position and target of hyperlinks within PDF-documents? The popular tools for converting pdf-to-* end up with text or very broken html documents. That's why I wonder if there is a way to know where (exact position) within the PDF we can find a link and where it is pointing to.

Looking forward to helpful reply. Thanks and kind regards

You didn't specify the language/platform, so here is a .NET solution:

Docotic.Pdf library (disclaimer: I work for Bit Miracle) can be used to retrieve all hyperlinks in a document. You may retrieve bounding box, text and other properties of a link. Please take a look at "Extract text from link target" sample.
