The Link Checker

Post by Dramion »

Hello,

I found the Bookmark validator but was wondering if there is such a thing as "The Link Checker" which is a different software plugin.

basically checks internal and external links.

I am afraid not Dramion.

How would that work if it were done? I guess it would report on broken links in the links pane...

I am not sure how much support such a feature would get. Let me ask around and see what the general feedback is around here and get back to you.
Best regards

It's useful when trying to check links within a large PDF.

Example:

You have a link within the content that points to a different area in the same PDF. However, if that link is invalid (clicking on it goes nowhere), a link checker would catch it and display it to the end user, much like the bookmark validator does. An external link is verified by determining if the link is reachable.

Got it.

I've floated the suggestion to the dev team, let give it a day or so for them to see it and discuss/come back with a response.
Best regards

Thank you! Amazing job on the Compare Tool. Blows other PDF tools out of the water! 7k page PDF compared to another 7k page PDF in around 1.5 minutes on an i9 9900k.
