Batch generation of links to documents based on document name and page content matching

A method for automatically hyperlinking a plurality of electronic documents each including one or more pages, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user, a selection of the plurality of electronic documents;
• generating a list of search objects from the plurality of electronic documents, each of the search objects being correlated with a hyperlink destination, each hyperlink destination being one of a plurality of hyperlink destinations, of a corresponding electronic document of the plurality of electronic documents, each of the search objects having been extracted from a user-designated source applied across the plurality of electronic documents;
• scanning the plurality of electronic documents for graphical objects matching the search objects in the list to determine matched graphical objects;
• generating activatable hyperlinks from the matched graphical objects in the plurality of electronic documents, the activatable hyperlinks being assigned the hyperlink destinations to which corresponding search objects of the matched graphical objects are correlated;
• and
• appending the activatable hyperlinks to each of the matched graphical objects in the plurality of electronic documents.

A system automatically hyperlinking a plurality of electronic documents each including one or more pages, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one storage device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a user, a selection of the plurality of electronic documents;
• generating a list of search objects from the plurality of electronic documents, each of the search objects being correlated with a hyperlink destination, each hyperlink destination being one of a plurality of hyperlink destinations, of a corresponding electronic document of the plurality of electronic documents, each of the search objects having been extracted from a user-designated source applied across the plurality of electronic documents;
• scanning the plurality of electronic documents for graphical objects matching the search objects in the list to determine matched graphical objects;
• generating activatable hyperlinks from the matched graphical objects in the plurality of electronic documents, the activatable hyperlinks being assigned the hyperlink destinations to which corresponding search objects of the matched graphical objects are correlated;
• and
• appending the activatable hyperlinks to each of the matched graphical objects in the plurality of electronic documents.
