dotCooCoo 3d24d82635 M11: PDF Optimizer can discard links to other documents (external cross-references) ...

PDF Optimizer > Discard User Data gets "Discard external cross-references",
off by default. It takes GoToR, GoToE, Launch and ImportData actions, and
Thread actions with an /F, out of the actions of link annotations and
bookmarks, and the actions chained after one through /Next take its place
in order. Other annotations, such as form fields, keep their actions. A
link left with no action and no /Dest is removed from its page; when the
link is an indirect object, that object is rewritten without the action
for anything else that refers to it. A bookmark keeps its title, place and
children, including a bookmark stored directly inside another one. Links
within the document and web links stay. An indirect action that changes
is written as a new indirect object, except the first action left at the
head of an /A, which is copied into the /A directly when other actions
follow it. Objects that use the old action keep it. An /A with more than
100,000 values to check, or one that opens another document and needs
more than 100,000 values to rewrite, stops the optimization with
OptimizeError::ExternalRefLimit, and so does an outline of more than
100,000 bookmarks.

doc_optimize takes discard_external_refs and reports external_links and
external_bookmarks.
