How do I insert a hyperlink to another page in an existing PDF?

I would like to add a link to an existing pdf that jumps to a coordinate on another page.

I am able to add a rectangle using this code:

PdfContentByte overContent = stamper.GetOverContent(1);
iTextSharp.text.Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(10,10,100,100,0);
rectangle.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.BLUE;
overContent.Rectangle(rectangle);
stamper.Close();

How can I do similar to create a link that is clickable?

You are already adding the Rectangle, now you need to add the annotation. This is how it looks in Java:

PdfAnnotation annotation = new PdfLinkAnnotation(rectangle)
        .setHighlightMode(PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_INVERT)
        .setAction(PdfAction.createURI("https://itextpdf.com/"))
        .setBorder(new PdfArray(new int[] {0,0,1}));
pdfDoc.getPage(page).addAnnotation(annotation);

In this code sample page is the number of the page where you want to add the link and rectangle is the Rectangle object defining the coordinates on that page. You can use the similar methods in iTextSharp.
