How do I create a PDF file that contains an active hyperlink?

Answer 1

Do you have Adobe software that will allow you to create a PDF?
If you don't they will let you make a few for free. Try going to their site. I believe once you have a url it knows it's suppose to be a link.

Hi,

Adding Internal Links to a PDF Document To create an internal hyperlink in a PDF document do the following:

1. Navigate to the section in the document where you want to create a link.

2. Select the Link Tool from the toolbar. The pointer becomes a cross hair (+).

3. Press the Ctrl key and select the target text with the I-beam. This allows you to fit a link rectangle exactly around the selected text. With the Text Select tool cross hair (+) you can also drag the mouse over the text to create a marquee.

4. In the Create Link dialog box, choose the rectangle type (visible or invisible).

5. Select a Highlight Option for when the link is selected (none, invert, outline or inset).

6. Choose an Action Type, which should usually be the default, Go to View.

7. Navigate down in the document to the page containing the text of the link target.

8. Click on the Set Link button.

Hope this helps you out.
