Auto-create web links from URLs

[kdharper2020]

If I use "Auto-create web links from URLs" all links generated are http format. Most URLs these days are https. Is there any way to modifiy the behaviour of the auto-create to suit this? Is it something that Adobe have in the pipeline for Acrobat? I would imagine it's a very simple modification. Thanks in advance. Kevin

- No.

- We don't know. Most of the people replying here do not work for Adobe, and those that do are usually not privy to future code changes. I don't even know if this was ever requested before.

- Only if you want all links to be either http or https, if you have a mix of both domains it becomes quite complicated to specify which one should be what. The real solution, of course, is not to rely on this functionality at all and create your own Link objects, with the correct URL attached to them.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I generally do create all links myself, however, it would be a "nice to have" as most if not all of the sites I link to have https:// addresses

PS. Usually, when there's a link to an HTTP site and there's an HTTPS version of it, an automatic redirect happens from the former to the latter. If you implement that in your website it should solve this issue...
