Java code example

import com.spire.presentation.*;
import com.spire.presentation.drawing.FillFormatType;

import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;

public class AddHyperlink {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        //Load test PPT
        Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
        ppt.loadFromFile("test.pptx");

        //instantiation Rectangle2D.Double Class objects
        Rectangle2D.Double rec = new Rectangle2D.Double(350, 150, 400, 180);

        //Add shape on Slide 1
        IAutoShape shape1 = ppt.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, rec);
        shape1.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
        shape1.getLine().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);

        //Add hyperlink to web page
        ParagraphEx para1 = new ParagraphEx();
        PortionEx tr1 = new PortionEx();
        tr1.setText("1. Website address link: Click to visit the website");
        tr1.getClickAction().setAddress("https://www.baidu.com/");
        para1.getTextRanges().append(tr1);
        shape1.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().append(para1);
        shape1.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().append(new ParagraphEx());

        //Add hyperlink to mailbox address
        ParagraphEx para2 = new ParagraphEx();
        PortionEx tr2 = new PortionEx();
        tr2.setText("2. Email address link: click send email");
        tr2.getClickAction().setAddress("mailto:123654zz@163.com");
        para2.getTextRanges().append(tr2);
        shape1.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().append(para2);
        shape1.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().append(new ParagraphEx());

        //Add hyperlink to jump to another slide
        ParagraphEx para3 = new ParagraphEx();
        PortionEx tr3 = new PortionEx();
        tr3.setText("3. Slide jump link: Click to jump to the second slide");
        ClickHyperlink link = new ClickHyperlink(ppt.getSlides().get(1));
        tr3.setClickAction(link);
        para3.getTextRanges().append(tr3);
        shape1.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().append(para3);

        //Add picture to slide 2 and set hyperlink
        String imaPath = "pd.png";
        Rectangle2D.Float rect = new Rectangle2D.Float(230, 200, 500, 250);
        IEmbedImage image = ppt.getSlides().get(1).getShapes().appendEmbedImage(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, imaPath, rect);
        image.getLine().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
        ClickHyperlink hyperlink = new ClickHyperlink("https://www.baidu.com/");
        image.setClick(hyperlink);

        //Save document
        ppt.saveToFile("AddHyperlink.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2010);
        ppt.dispose();
    }
}
