Hi.

Is there a way or a known script that can list all hyperlinks in a document?

In the JS Reference I found the script that count all hyperlinks on each page, but what I need is a list of all target URLs for each hyperlink.

I tried to wrote my own script but it don't work.

It's for checking purpose, my client wants to check all hyperlinks in its document (about 400 hyperlinks…).

I've developed a stand-alone tool that allows you to batch edit the URL links in multiple PDF files. As a part of it is also a function that allows you to create a list of all of the URLs linked to in your files. You can find it here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Batch Edit URL Links in PDF Files (v2 of the tool has this feature).

As mentioned, a script can't do it in Acrobat. Maybe a plugin...
