Help Needed. How to Insert Hyperlinks in a PDF Document?

17 years ago

Mark, what ebook creation software are you using?

If you're using OpenOffice Writer, then you can do this 2 ways:

1. simply type out the link and either hit the space bar after it or the "enter" key

or

2. type out the text to be linked such as: "My Great Site", highlight the text, click on the little globe with chain links icon, and add your link inside the window that will pop open, hit apply and that's it

Option one is probably the easiest, but option two let's you better hide your links which is especially handy if it's an affiliate link

Then, once you've got all your links in place, click the PDF icon, give your new ebook PDF file a name, and have fun testing out your links.

Tracy

Thanks

Mark,

Most of the paid professional PDF programs will let you use
a link by just inserting it by starting it with the "www".

To be sure of the hyper-link, (especially the free ones) you should
always use the full URL beginning with the "http://".

I personally use Nitro PDF Professional.
Hope this helps.
Carey

Thanks

You can also try the utilities at PDF995.

Download the print driver, the converter, and PDFEdit995. It's a little tricky to get it to work the first time and it's probably not as slick as OpenOffice. However, I use it to produce my eBooks and it works OK.

Create the eBook in MS Word and save it with the MS Word PDF plugin.

You can do this in a breeze with Openoffice. While exporting the file as a pdf, make sure you edit your headers as html if you want them hyperlinked too.

^^^ My vote goes to OpenOffice as well - very easy to use, convert to PDF at the click of a button, and best of all it's free.

  Agree with Val 100% - easiest solution I have found is create in Open Office and convert directly to PDF - all links are preserved..
  
  BTW Nitro Pro is brilliant if you want to play around with or edit PDF's themselves - highly recommended!

If you are searching for a utility that can help you to edit pdf file then you have taken a right turn, as Kernel for PDF to Word is one such Tool that makes such endeavors possible without much fuss. The software gives you the provision of converting up to 50 files in one conversion cycle. This is the most quick and accurate way of converting the PDF to the Word and vice versa for you.

You can use any document editor likes : MS Word, Open Office.... to come out with the contents of your documents. With these document editors, you can easily add in hyperlink, images, spreadsheet in the document through toolbox options provided.

After that, you can download and installed PrimoPDF (this is free), it will act as one of your printer. When you want to convert your document to PDF, just print the document to this virtual printer.

Enjoy

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to add hyperlinks to a PDF, there's a great tool I used recently which is free, online (you don't have to download it) and I found it pretty easy to use.

The site is: pdfescape.com (this is not an aff link - don't know if they even have one).

It enables you to do lots of other editing as well, such as adding annotations using arrows, sticky notes etc...

Take a look - hope it helps you.

What I do to insert hyperlinks to PDF documents is, I use Adobe Acrobat X (I'm on a Mac most of the time). I simply open the PDF document in the program and use the link tool to create a clickable space within the document which is an actual link.

Thanks
