How to detect the hyperlinks in a local pdf displayed in a UIWebView

Question

I'm loading a pdf file in a UIWebView with the following code:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", pdfString] ofType:@"pdf"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webview loadRequest:req];

It's working fine. But I want to enable the hyperlinks in the pdf file (just like how UITextView detects links).

Use This:

-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType 
{
    if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
        return NO;
    }
    return YES;
}
