How to create a clickable hyperlink in a PDF document with Adobe Acrobat

Hi, this is Anne with Graphic Design How To, and today I'm going to show you how to add a clickable hyperlink to an Acrobat PDF document. All right, so let's get started. All right, so first open up your document in Adobe Acrobat. And you can only do this in Adobe Acrobat Pro. You cannot do it in Reader, as far as I know. So you'll need to have the full version of the software. OK, and I want to add a link right here where there's already a link in the text. And I'm just going to come over here to the sidebar and type 'link'. And the one that we want is 'Add or Edit Web or Document Link'. And now we have this bar right up here at the top. So I'm going to choose 'Link'. I want to 'Add or Edit the Web or Document Link'. And then I just draw a box around this text. Then this dialog box comes up. It lets us kind of customize what that link is going to look like. I usually leave this at 'Invisible Rectangle,' and I do not like a highlight style, so I just leave that at 'None.' And then I want it to open a web page. So I'll choose that and hit 'Next'. And here, we just enter our URL for the link. I'll just paste that in, and then we'll say 'OK', so that link is added. Now I'm going to go down and show you how to do a graphic link. That is exactly the same way. So you just draw a box around what you want to link to. All these things will stay the same, and then we'll just go to 'Next'. And I'll add a URL there. And we'll say, 'OK'. Then we'll close that and we'll just save this. And now when you hover over it, you can see your cursor changes to a little hand, and you can just click on it, and it will always do this security warning the first time, but you can just check 'Remember this action for the site' and 'Allow' it, and then it'll open the website. So that's it. Acrobat makes it really easy. All right, that's my video for this week. If you liked it, please click on the 'Like' button.
