Disable Hyperlink Detection

Disables the functionality that detects hyperlinks within PDF text.

In PDF, the only way to insert a hyperlink is using an annotation. However, most PDF readers will also try to detect hyperlinks within the text and make them clickable, too. In BuildVu, such auto-detected hyperlinks are spoofed as annotations with the type TextLink.

This setting disables the link detection functionality, preventing the spoofed TextLink annotations. Links that are defined as annotations within the PDF file will still be included in the output. Please see the disableExternalHyperlinks setting to disable all hyperlinks.

Expected values:

• true
• false

Default: false

Since: 2024.12
