PDF Link Map

PDF navigation field notes / v0.1

Find the links your PDF converter quietly broke.

One local command inventories every link annotation, checks where it lands, and leaves a clickable map for reviewers and CI.

Install the CLI Open specimen

Local by design. Your PDF never leaves your machine. External addresses are listed, never opened.

Illustrated lab notebook with document pages, linked blue nodes, green checks, and one route circled in red pencil
Trace every route before the handoff.

Internal named + explicit destinations

External recorded, never fetched

Output HTML + JSON + exit codes

Method 01

Make navigation a release artifact

Run the same audit after LibreOffice, Chromium, wkhtmltopdf, or any other converter. The checker reads the finished PDF—not the tool that made it.

  1. 1

    Inspect annotations

    Inventory GoTo and URI actions without rendering pages or contacting the network.

  2. 2

    Resolve destinations

    Follow explicit pages and PDF name trees. Flag missing pages, anchors, and duplicates.

  3. 3

    Leave evidence

    Open the standalone HTML map for review, or consume JSON and stable exit codes in CI.

Field command

Test the handoff, not the hope.
