# UIGraphicsSetPDFContextURLForRect(_:_:)

Links a rectangular area on the current page to the specified URL.

## Declaration

```swift
func UIGraphicsSetPDFContextURLForRect(_ url: URL, _ rect: CGRect)
```

## Parameters

- `url`: The URL to open.
- `rect`: A rectangle on the current page of the PDF context.

## Discussion

Discussion You use this function to create external links within a PDF document. If the URL you specify is a type handled by a different application, tapping the rectangle opens that application. If the current graphics context is not a PDF context, this function does nothing.
