PDF-URLs

Extract all URLs from a PDF file. Facilitates mouseless navigation.

Examples

Hyperlinks are printed to standard output, one per line:

$ pdf-urls ./testdata/Alice\'s\ Adventures\ in\ Wonderland.pdf
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11
https://science.nasa.gov/news-article/black-hole-image-makes-history
https://ia800908.us.archive.org/6/items/alicesadventures19033gut/19033-h/images/i002.jpg

This allows them to be easily piped to other programs, like urlview or extract_url:

$ pdf-urls ./testdata/Alice\'s\ Adventures\ in\ Wonderland.pdf | urlview

$ brew install teddywing/formulae/pdf-urls
