Hello there,

Here is my problem. I have 300 pages of authors and specific link to their articles.

I would like to change long confusing link to something simple like " link"  but I can't imagine doing it one by one  (it would take weeks I think)

Is there any way to make it automatic or basically, change every single long link into simple form 'link"

please see screen for clarity.  I'm a begginer so help please !

This is not the kind of thing that you should do in a PDF file, nor can you do it automatically, really.

You would need to edit the original file used to create the PDF, and then generate a new PDF from it, or if you don't have access to this file, export the PDF to a more editable format (like MS Word or InDesign), edit it and then create a new PDF.

Did you create this PDF file from an InDesign document? Do you still have access to that document?

If so, then yes, ask over at the ID forum.
