Question

adobe reader mobil Hyperlink

Hello,

I need some help with an issue. I am using a Samsung S23 Ultra phone, and it has a built-in Adobe Reader application. In an Excel sheet, I use the “Hyperlink” formula to create a link to another PDF file located in the same folder. Then, I convert the Excel file into a PDF document by navigating through “file”, “export”, and “create pdf/xps document” respectively.

When I test this on my computer, the “Hyperlink” I created works perfectly. However, when I transfer the entire folder as is to my Samsung S23 phone and open it, nothing happens in the PDF document when I click on the “hyperlink”.

I would really appreciate it if you could help me understand the reason behind this.

Have a great day and good work.

    Good day.

    It’s not an online link, because the files are on my phone.
    Since the files are on my phone, I didn’t use an online link. I linked to the files on the phone.
    When I combine them into a single PDF file and add bookmarks, can I keep the bookmarks limited to specific page ranges?

    Hi there 

    A bookmark is a link with representative text in the Bookmarks panel in the navigation pane. Each bookmark goes to a different view or page in the document.

    In Acrobat, you can set bookmark destinations as you create each bookmark. However, it's sometimes easier to create a group of bookmarks and then set the destinations later.

    In Acrobat, you can use bookmarks to mark a place in the PDF to which you want to return or to jump to a destination in the PDF, another document, or a web page.

    Hi there
     

    Hope you are doing well and thankyou for reaching out.

    I understand how frustrating it can be when something works perfectly on your computer but not on your phone.

     

    We need more information for a better understanding:

    • Are your hyperlinks pointing to file paths (like folder/file.pdf) or web URLs?
    • And are you opening the PDF using the default Samsung viewer or directly inside Adobe Acrobat Reader?


    When you create a hyperlink in Excel and convert it to PDF:

    • On a computer, PDF viewers can open local file paths (like links to another file in the same folder).
    • On mobile devices (Android/iOS), for security reasons, apps usually block or don’t support links that point to local files (like another PDF stored on your phone).

    That’s why tapping the link on your Samsung S23 Ultra does nothing, it’s not an error, but a limitation of mobile apps.


    Here are a few options you can try and see if that works.

    1. Use cloud-based links:

    2. Combine files into one PDF

    • Merge all related PDFs into a single document
    • Then use internal links (bookmarks or page links), which work well on mobile

     

    Let us know how it goes. 

     

    ~Amal
