+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
+
+
+## Install
+On Mac OS X, PDF-URLs can be installed with Homebrew:
+
+ $ brew install teddywing/formulae/pdf-urls
+
+To compile from source or install on other platforms:
+
+ $ cargo install --git https://github.com/teddywing/pdf-urls.git --root /usr/local
+
+
+## Uninstall
+
+ $ cargo uninstall --root /usr/local pdf-urls
