GdPicture.NET.14
GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPicturePDF Class / GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx Method
The 0-based link index within the currently selected page. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetPageLinksCount-1.
Example





In This Topic
GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Translates a link index (only related to the currently selected page in the loaded PDF document) to an annotation index in order to allow working with this link object through the given set of methods related to the annotation objects. In a PDF document, a link is a subtype of the annotation type representing either a hypertext link to a destination elsewhere in the document or an action to be carried out.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx( _
   ByVal LinkIdx As Integer _
) As Integer
public int GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx( 
   int LinkIdx
)
public function GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx( 
    LinkIdx: Integer
): Integer; 
public function GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx( 
   LinkIdx : int
) : int;
public: int GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx( 
   int LinkIdx
) 
public:
int GetPageLinkAnnotationIdx( 
   int LinkIdx
)

Parameters

LinkIdx
The 0-based link index within the currently selected page. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetPageLinksCount-1.

Return Value

The annotation index of the specified link. You can subsequently use this index with the given set of methods related to the annotation objects (see the Annotations (PDF scheme) group of methods in the Reference Guide).

The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Example
How to obtain an annotation index for links embedded within the first page of the PDF document. The example shows you how to subsequently use this index with the set of methods related to annotations.
