**Which product are you using?**
PDF.js Express Viewer
**PDF.js Express Version**
8.1.1
**Detailed description of issue**
Customers use our website to view PDFs via proxies.
The links in our PDFs break their proxy behaviour.
E.g.
User goes to [https://www-website-com.myproxy.tld/file](https://www-website-com.myproxy.tld/file) and views PDF
PDF contains link to [https://www.website.com/new](https://www.website.com/new)
User clicks link, and is no longer loading the website via their proxy (so is effectively signed out)
The proxies re-write URLs for anything embedded in HTML, but can’t do the same for PDFs
**Expected behaviour**
Not expected, just wondering whether there’s a mechanism to re-write the URLs of embedded hyperlinks. E.g. something would see non-proxied url and change the bit before /new to the hostname.
**Does your issue happen with every document, or just one?**

**Link to document**

**Code snippet**

I tried to use `getAnnotationsManager().getAnnotationsList()` but that didn’t result in objects that made sense to me.
Eg.
```javascript
docViewer.on("annotationsLoaded", () => {
console.log("annotations loaded");
const annots = annotManager.getAnnotationsList();
annots.forEach((annotation) => {
//console.dir(annotation);
});
});
```
I wonder if I can do this using `pdf-lib` but I don’t know how I’d pass the PDF into the `WebViewer`

Hi there,
Thank you for contacting pdf.js express forums,
For the hyperlinks in the PDF, you can see them as an annotation, for example in the demo site: [PDF.js Viewer Demo | PDF.js Express](https://pdfjs.express/demo)
And these are types of link annotations we support:
> **[Create Annotations in JavaScript PDF Viewer | PDF.js Express SDK](https://pdfjs.express/documentation/annotation/add-link-to-annotation.8#programmatically-add-hyperlink-to-existing-annotation)**
Please note that the above guide is for express Pro, and the Viewer does not support link annotations: [Internal links don't work in PDF.js Express viewer - #3 by system](https://pdfjs.community/t/internal-links-dont-work-in-pdf-js-express-viewer/1168/3)
Best regards,
Kevin Kim
