To draw a link on the PDF page, use one of the following methods:
PdfGraphics.AddToPageForeground, PdfGraphics.AddToPageBackgroundThese methods allow you to draw content on an existing page.PdfDocumentProcessor.RenderNewPageDraws content on a new page.
Note
Coordinate system transformations (e.g., system rotation) are not taken into account when the AddLinkToUri method is called.
The following code snippet creates the PdfGraphics.AddLinkToUri method to create a link to a URI.

//...
using (PdfDocumentProcessor processor = new PdfDocumentProcessor()) {
// Create an empty document.
processor.CreateEmptyDocument("..\\..\\Result.pdf");
// Create and draw graphics.
using (PdfGraphics graphics = processor.CreateGraphicsPageSystem()) {
DrawGraphics(graphics);
// Create a link to URI specifying link area and URI.
graphics.AddLinkToUri(new RectangleF(310, 150, 180, 15), new Uri("https://www.devexpress.com"));
// Render a page with graphics.
processor.RenderNewPage(PdfPaperSize.Letter, graphics);
