Custom action links allow you to define interactive areas in a PDF that can trigger specific actions when clicked, such as executing scripts, navigating pages, or running application-specific commands. Using PdfContentEditor, you can create a custom action link by specifying the page, rectangle, color, and actions.

  1. Create a PdfContentEditor instance.
  2. Bind the input PDF document.
  3. Define a rectangle for the clickable link.
  4. Specifie the page number and link color.
  5. Assign custom actions (empty in this example).
  6. Save the updated PDF document.

def add_custom_action_link(infile, outfile):
    # Create PdfContentEditor object
    content_editor = pdf_facades.PdfContentEditor()
    # Bind document to PdfContentEditor
    content_editor.bind_pdf(infile)
    # Add custom action link. Empty action list keeps the sample runnable
    # without requiring additional enum lookups.
    content_editor.create_custom_action_link(
        apd.Rectangle(200, 500, 260, 20),
        1,
        apd.Color.dark_red,
        [],
    )
    # Save updated document
    content_editor.save(outfile)
