## NAME

PS\_add\_pdflink — Adds link to a page in a second pdf document

## SYNOPSIS

\#include \<pslib.h\>

void PS\_add\_pdflink(PSDoc \*psdoc, float llx, float lly, float urx, float ury, char \*filename, int page, const char \*dest)

## DESCRIPTION

Places a hyperlink at the given position pointing to a second  pdf document. Clicking on the link will branch to the document at the  given page. The first page in a document has number 1.  The parameter **dest** determines how  the document is being viewed. It can be 'fitpage', 'fitwidth',  \`fitheight', or \`fitbbox'.

The hyperlink start is  a rectangle with its lower left corner at (**llx**,  **lly**) and its upper right  corner at (**urx**, **ury**).  The rectangle has by default a thin blue border.

The hyperlink will not be visible if the document is printed or  viewed but it will show up if the document is converted to pdf by either  Acrobat Distiller™ or Ghostview.
