A list of all links to external (internet) URLs

Post by gfr92y »

I have a document with many hyperlinks to internet URLs.

Is there any way to produce a list of the internet URLs embedded in the hyperlinks?

Obviously I am a Newbie...

In other words, I have a hyperlink Fishing Lures linked to the URL http://www.fislurame.com. I would like to print a list of all URLs that are present in the hyperlinks through my document. Can I do this?

Thanks!

Joe

Hello Joe,

Welcome to the forum.

Currently, there is no way to do this with our products. There are some javascripts that can count how many links you have in a document, but this will not help you at all.
You will have to copy your URLs manually. I am sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for.

Regards,
Radi

Hi gfr92y,

If the document is not secured, after exporting all link information as an XFDF file by using "Export Links..." in the options menu of the Links pane, you can easily obtain just the URLs by using any grep tool. Depending on the number of URLs, this should at least be more efficient than manually copying.

The Links pane has fewer functions in the Options menu than other panes, but because XFDF is a text file, each user can do what they want with the tools or programming languages with which they are familiar.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hello, all

At the moment, it is still not possible, What Rakunavi described may work for more advanced users, but there really is no easy way to do this. As such, I am proposing a feature request which I expect the Dev team will accept, export of links to CSV and TXT formats.

RT#6191: FR: Export links to CSV and TXT

As usual, this ticket is internal only, and I cannot guarantee implementation or a timeline. If you are looking for an update on its progress in the future, please ask here quoting the ticket number so that any member of our support team can look it up for you.

Kind regards,
