creating links within a PDF

I cannot put a desktop version of acrobat pro on my older MAC.  So, I was working with the online version (?) adding many hyperlinks to a PDF (linking a term to a target in the same PDF).  I errantly closed the browser window.  I can get back to an editor online BUT it looks different from the one I was previously using AND when I try to create a link to a highlighted area in the PDF, I do not get that option with a right click on the highlighted area.  What happened?  I am really screwed if I cannot get back to whatever version I was previously using so that I can continue with my linking.  How do I get back to a version that can do that?

    OK.  I cannot retrace my steps, this morning, BUT the bottom line is that I got back to the Acrobat Pro that I was previously using.   I have attached a screen grab of the "About Adobe Acrobat Pro DC" pop-up.  I wish I could tell you what I did to get there . . . but I cannot.  All is well and I will not close this window . . . ever.  Thanks for your reply, though.

      Hi @Blue3538438036im ,

       

      Please describe in a little more detail what do you mean by "I can get back to an editor online BUT it looks different from the one I was previously using".  

       

      Which editor?

       

      It looks like you are opening the PDF documents  with two different web browsers or referring to something else. Please clarify.

      Well, I am using only one browser, Chrome. I go to my Adobe account and select Adobe Acrobat Pro from the list of programs on my plan. The window that opens has the menu on the left side. The previous version that I was using had the menu on the right side. When I open hte file I was working on, it has all of the links that I previously added BUT when I highlight an area where I want to add a link and right click on the area, the pop-up menu does not have the option to “create link."

        one other thing is that when I choose "acrobat pro" from my list of options, it starts something that displays the header "Adobe Acrobat Home."
