G'day all

Help please? Is there a way to add content to a word/term in a pdf which contains HTMl URL hot link  i.e. either a URL itself or make the word clickable and it takes thee reader to a website please.

This sort of functionality to help users learn more in education would be very useful in education

Regards

Allan

    Sorry maybe I wasn't clear.  Not just a link but add a text comment e.g. explain the term and then a link for more info.  Useful to give reader/learner background information  Hope that helps

    Sure. You can create a (transparent) button over the word and then set its Tooltip text to the description, and as it's MouseUp action you can tell it to open a web-page.

    Thanks this is great news.  Forgive my newbie questions.  I haven't had Acrobat PRO for years.  Just got back into it.  I am thrilled you can do this but I don't really understand the instructions on how to do it.  I need to figure it all out.  It is really important for some curriculum I am building so I will keep at it until I get it.

    If anyone has any tutorials on how to do this I would really appreciate it.  As an educator I can tell you adding this level of interactivity to text comments in pop up windows in Acrobat adds a great deal of possibility to a PDF.

    Now to figure out how to do what you said to make this happen and thanks again
