Extract hyperlinks from PDF in Python

Question

I have a PDF document with a few hyperlinks in it, and I need to extract all the text from the pdf. I have used the PDFMiner library and code from http://www.endlesslycurio

I think using PyPDF you could do that. If you want to extract the links from PDF. I am not sure where I got this from but it resides in my code as a part of something else. Hope this helps:

PDFFile = open('File Location','rb')

PDF = pyPdf.PdfFileReader(PDFFile)
pages = PDF.getNumPages()
key = '/Annots'
uri = '/URI'
ank = '/A'

for page in range(pages):

    pageSliced = PDF.getPage(page)
    pageObject = pageSliced.getObject()

    if pageObject.has_key(key):
        ann = pageObject[key]
        for a in ann:
            u = a.getObject()
            if u[ank].has_key(uri):
            print u[ank][uri]

This I hope should give the links in your PDF. P.S: I haven't extensively tried this.
