Having a little trouble understanding some things about the PDFKit
works. Specifically, I am trying to get information from PDFKit about
links clicked on in the PDFView. In creating my PDF in InDesign, I
gave my Hyperlinks uniquely identifying names as well as unique URLs.
In my Cocoa app, I can obtain the notification that a link was
clicked in a PDFView and intercept the URL to a log file.
What I can't figure out are how to obtain the identifying name of the
link I assigned when creating the PDF, nor how to keep the PDFView
from automatically sending the URL to my preferred web browser. I
would like to collect the information from the link for my app's own
internal purposes and decide whether to pass it on to the system
myself (perhaps only if a checkbox is turned on in my app). I'm
running into some difficulty understanding the mechanisms for deeper
introspection into the PDF structure.
Am I asking too much of PDFKit at this time?
