How to add Links to PDF via Java SDK

To add links into PDF via Cloud Java SDK, we’ll use Aspose.PDF Cloud Java SDK This Cloud SDK allows you to easily build cloud-based PDF creator, editor & add link apps in Java language for various cloud platforms. Open Repository package manager, search for Aspose.PDF Cloud and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console for install it using Maven.

Add Aspose Cloud repository to your application pom.xml

Add Aspose Cloud repository


    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>aspose-cloud</id>
            <name>Aspose Cloud Repository</name>
            <url>https://releases.aspose.cloud/java/repo/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

To install the API client library to your local Maven repository, simply execute:

Installation from Github


    mvn clean install

To deploy it to a remote Maven repository instead, configure the settings of the repository and execute:

Deploy Maven repository


    mvn clean deploy

Steps to add links into PDF via Cloud Java

Aspose.PDF Cloud developers can easily load & add links to PDF in just a few lines of code.

  1. Create an object to connect to the Pdf.Cloud API
  2. Upload your document file
