Internal and External Links


Internal and External Links

Select.Pdf Library can convert internal html links to internal pdf links and keep external html links (hyperlinks to other pages) the same in pdf (external links). These links can be disabled in pdf if needed.

There are 2 properties that can be used to enable and disable internal and external links:

InternalLinksEnabled - Controls the conversion of internal html links to internal pdf links. The default value for this property is True.
ExternalLinksEnabled - Controls the rendering of external hyperlinks in pdf. The default value for this property is True.
