Hello, I'm trying to add invisible rectangular hyperlinks to a few hundred pdf's. I'd like to automate it as much as possible. Adding rectangle hyperlinks isnt available in action wizard, or I just cant find it.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

If these hyperlinks are email addresses or URLs you don't need to add anything since this Preference option is enabled by default.

Otherwise you need to use JavaScript in an Action.

This can be done using a script, but do you want the links to always appear at the same spot in each file, or should the location be set based on some condition? One drawback of using a script, though, is that the links can only execute a JavaScript. You can't set them to any of the other actions.

Hey try67,
Thanks for the reply. I already have a watermak being added to the PDF on each page, I just want the watermark to link to a website. It's always in the same place, and the link's always the same.

Can you share a sample file? It's not quite clear what you mean by that. Watermarks can't have links in them.

You can add a link on top of the watermark, but it could conflict with other elements on the page.
