1. Re: Want to find all links in a large document? Way?
George_Johnson Jul 8, 2014 12:54 PM (in response to straightlife)What information do you want to obtain, exactly? It's possible with JavaScript to determine how many links are on each page, and set various properties, but that's about it. Some plug-ins are available that allow you to get more information (such as what their actions are), but the one I know most about is only available for Windows.

straightlife Jul 8, 2014 12:58 PM (in response to George_Johnson)All I want to do is FIND them so I can check to see what the urls are. All I want to do is get a list of them so I can go quickly to the pages where they are and look at them. Instead of scrolling through page by page by page by page...........

George_Johnson Jul 8, 2014 1:24 PM (in response to straightlife)OK. One thing the script could do is loop through each page and if there are any links, set the border to visible so they are easier to find (this can be later undone), and write a line of text to the JavaScript console to list each page that has links, which you could then copy & paste into a spreadsheet or something. If this sounds like it might work and you need help with the script, post again.
For what it's worth, with the plug-in I use it will create a link report that has all the information you need, it even checks to make sure the links are valid by testing them, which helps to catch typos and non-functioning URLs. So if you need to do this a lot and have access to a Windows machine and the budget, consider Evermap's AutoBookmark plug-in: https://www.evermap.com/autobookmark.asp

straightlife Jul 8, 2014 1:32 PM (in response to George_Johnson)This sounds wonderfully useful! But I'm surrounded by macs. And I've already trolled through every page manually. Would be terrific to find something similar for next time, for my mac.
