I\'m using the PDF.js library to render a pdf into the canvas. That pdf has hyperlinks in there, The PDF.js library is drawing the pdf into the canvas but the hyperlinks don\'t
Here is a fiddle that shows you how to enable annotations (including hyperlinks) in PDF files. The original PDF file used in the fiddle is here.
I used viewer code (web/page_view.js,web/viewer.css) as refrence to write this fiddle.
HTML:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>

<body>
<div id="pdfContainer" class="pdf-content">
<canvas id="the-canvas"></canvas>
<div class="annotationLayer"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
body {
font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif;
}
.pdf-content {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
.annotationLayer > a {
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
.annotationLayer > a:hover {
opacity: 0.2;
background: #ff0;
box-shadow: 0px 2px 10px #ff0;
}
.annotText > div {
z-index: 200;
position: absolute;
padding: 0.6em;
max-width: 20em;
background-color: #FFFF99;
box-shadow: 0px 2px 10px #333;
border-radius: 7px;
}
.annotText > img {
position: absolute;
opacity: 0.6;
}
.annotText > img:hover {
opacity: 1;
}
.annotText > div > h1 {
font-size: 1.2em;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 0px;
}
JavaScript:
PDFJS.workerSrc = 'http://seikichi.github.io/tmp/PDFJS.0.8.715/pdf.min.worker.js';
$(function () {
var pdfData = loadPDFData();
PDFJS.getDocument(pdfData).then(function (pdf) {
return pdf.getPage(1);
}).then(function (page) {
var scale = 1;
var viewport = page.getViewport(scale);
var $canvas = $('#the-canvas');
var canvas = $canvas.get(0);
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
canvas.height = viewport.height;
canvas.width = viewport.width;
var $pdfContainer = $("#pdfContainer");
$pdfContainer.css("height", canvas.height + "px")
.css("width", canvas.width + "px");
var renderContext = {
canvasContext: context,
viewport: viewport
};
page.render(renderContext);
setupAnnotations(page, viewport, canvas, $('.annotationLayer'));
});
function setupAnnotations(page, viewport, canvas, $annotationLayerDiv) {
var canvasOffset = $(canvas).offset();
var promise = page.getAnnotations().then(function (annotationsData) {
viewport = viewport.clone({
dontFlip: true
});
for (var i = 0; i < annotationsData.length; i++) {
var data = annotationsData[i];
var annotation = PDFJS.Annotation.fromData(data);
if (!annotation || !annotation.hasHtml()) {
continue;
}
var element = annotation.getHtmlElement(page.commonObjs);
data = annotation.getData();
var rect = data.rect;
var view = page.view;
rect = PDFJS.Util.normalizeRect([
rect[0],
view[3] - rect[1] + view[1],
rect[2],
view[3] - rect[3] + view[1]]);
element.style.left = (canvasOffset.left + rect[0]) + 'px';
element.style.top = (canvasOffset.top + rect[1]) + 'px';
element.style.position = 'absolute';
var transform = viewport.transform;
var transformStr = 'matrix(' + transform.join(',') + ')';
CustomStyle.setProp('transform', element, transformStr);
var transformOriginStr = -rect[0] + 'px ' + -rect[1] + 'px';
CustomStyle.setProp('transformOrigin', element, transformOriginStr);
if (data.subtype === 'Link' && !data.url) {
// In this example, I do not handle the `Link` annotations without url.
// If you want to handle those annotations, see `web/page_view.js`.
continue;
}
$annotationLayerDiv.append(element);
}
});
return promise;
}
});
function loadPDFData() {
/*jshint multistr: true */
var base64pdfData = '...'; //should contain base64 representing the PDF
function base64ToUint8Array(base64) {
var raw = atob(base64);
var uint8Array = new Uint8Array(new ArrayBuffer(raw.length));
for (var i = 0, len = raw.length; i < len; ++i) {
uint8Array[i] = raw.charCodeAt(i);
}
return uint8Array;
}
return base64ToUint8Array(base64pdfData);
}
<div id="text-layer"></div>
This div will be in addition to the element where the PDF is rendered, so the HTML will look like :
<canvas id="pdf-canvas"></canvas>
<div id="text-layer"></div>
Add the following to your CSS file :
#text-layer {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
overflow: hidden;
opacity: 0.2;
line-height: 1.0;
}
#text-layer > div {
color: transparent;
position: absolute;
white-space: pre;
cursor: text;
transform-origin: 0% 0%;
}
After the PDF has been rendered in the canvas, you need to get the text contents of the PDF, and place that text in the text layer.
// page is the page context of the PDF page
// viewport is the viewport required in renderContext
// For more see https://usefulangle.com/post/20/pdfjs-tutorial-1-preview-pdf-during-upload-wih-next-prev-buttons
page.render(renderContext).then(function() {
// Returns a promise, on resolving it will return text contents of the page
return page.getTextContent();
}).then(function(textContent) {
// PDF canvas
var pdf_canvas = $("#pdf-canvas");
// Canvas offset
var canvas_offset = pdf_canvas.offset();
// Canvas height
var canvas_height = pdf_canvas.get(0).height;
// Canvas width
var canvas_width = pdf_canvas.get(0).width;
// Assign CSS to the text-layer element
$("#text-layer").css({ left: canvas_offset.left + 'px', top: canvas_offset.top + 'px', height: canvas_height + 'px', width: canvas_width + 'px' });
// Pass the data to the method for rendering of text over the pdf canvas.
PDFJS.renderTextLayer({
textContent: textContent,
container: $("#text-layer").get(0),
viewport: viewport,
textDivs: []
});
});
