DOCUMENT REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find the links a PDF contains and decide what is safe to open.

For a user authorized to process a document, submit a PDF for conversion and collect the active URLs found in its content. A document can contain private information, malicious destinations, or links that differ from their visible labels. Disclose any external processing, use only approved documents, restrict the converted file and extracted results, normalize and preview each destination, and never open or redistribute links until a person verifies their safety and purpose.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A permitted document, approved processing destination, and defined review purpose

“Make embedded destinations easier to inspect without exposing the document or trusting an unknown URL.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a user convert an approved PDF into a format that exposes active links and collect those URLs for review.

  1. Check document rights and sensitivity

    Confirm that the file may be processed and contains no material outside the approved scope.

  2. Prepare the document for link review

    Use the intended file, retain a source reference, and avoid including unrelated documents.

  3. Extract and normalize URL candidates

    Separate links clearly and flag malformed, shortened, or unexpected destinations.

  4. Inspect destinations without opening them blindly

    Check domains and context using approved safe-review practices before any visit.

  5. Approve sharing or follow-up checks

    Have a document owner verify the list and decide which destinations may be checked further.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reviewable URL list with source-document references, validation notes, and human approval status.

The handoff

A reviewable URL list with source-document references, validation notes, and human approval status.

Keep in mind

A PDF may include confidential material or deceptive links, and a URL in a document is not safe by default. Verify processing permissions, sanitize output, review destinations before visiting them, and keep the complete document and extracted list restricted to authorized reviewers.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Disclose external document processing

Explain where files are handled and obtain approval for any third-party processing.

Restrict temporary files and extracted URLs

Limit access and define deletion for source, converted, and output material.

Set safe URL handling rules

Review each extracted destination before visiting, downloading from, or forwarding it.

Require a reviewer before redistribution

Check document rights, link context, and destination safety before sharing results.
