HI pnunbe,

do you have a PDF document that already has a web link that is not working or do you want to add a link to an existing document that does not yet have one?
Best regards

Hello pnunbe,

The document does not carry information for the application that created it, but it seems like a MS Office Word document converted to PDF.

In such cases with "click here" or "hidden" links, you will need a tool like our PDF XChange Standard printing driver:

That installs an add-in for MS Office, which allows it to convert documents like the one attached and preserve those links.

Best,
Stefan

Or modify and set links using the PDF-XChange Viewer link creation tool after the file has been converted to PDF.

If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.
