Automatically find where URLs are embedded in PDF

Question

When I use Acrobat to auto-create web links from URLs, it tells me how many links were embedded as part of the process. However, it doesn't tell me where all those links are, so I have to scroll through the entire document (which is often 100-200 pages) to find them so I can make sure they all work properly.

Is there an easier way to find where all the links are so I can save myself time? The type of solution I'm looking for might be a "find next link" button or even a preflight profile that can tell me which pages contain links ("list page objects" comes close, but only lists text objects and images, not embedded web links).

You can click the Tab key. It should jump between those links, allowing you to locate them.Another option is to use a script to print out the locations of all the Link objects in the file.

In the Edit PDF Workspace, you can click on the Link option in the top toolbar and select the most appropriate option in the drop down menu which will likely be "View Web Links."
