Hi qpan
Yes, there is. Using LC Assembler (invoke DDX service) you can extract, import and replace links within a pdf document. There is a detailed tutorial called "Developing Applications for LiveCycle Assembler" (page 69-71).
Here are some DDX samples:
Exporting links from multiple sources:
<Links result="links1.xfdf">
<PDF source="doc1.pdf" />
<PDF source="doc2.pdf" />
</Links>
Replacing links:
<PDF result="doc3.pdf">
<PDF source="doc2.pdf">
<Links source="links1.xfdf" />
</PDF>
</PDF>
