I could have sworn this was once a feature. All I am seeing is the ability to add a box around an area of content, however I want it to look cleaner, can someone please advise?
It IS a feature. The steps are here: https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/acrobat_reference.pdf#page=150

I have the same problem - I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and I go into the Tools Menu > Edit PDF and it doesn't give me the option to add links

Hi LeshRitsonCarriageGroup,
Adobe Acrobat Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files, as Acrobat Pro/Standard does. You are welcome to download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat from this page: Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
Best,
Sara

I am able to create hyperlinks following your instructions, but they appear in a black rectabgle even when I've chosen options to make the hyperlink invisible (rectanble type: none). What am I doing wrong?

In the Create Link dialog box you can select Link Type. This will allow you to create an "invisible" box.

That does not work even if its selected. This is why we are all posting it as an issue

Compared to older versions of Acrobat Pro, the hyperlinking process is now counter-intuitive. Talk about user unfriendly. Every time I need to create a hyperlink or make a document interactive. I have to do research to remember where this feature is located. I guess I'm not the only one.
To the developers: please consider making the interactive tools easier to find.

Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2017 does not have an "link"/"add or edit" option within the View/Tools/Edit PDF. It just provides "open", "remove shortcut" or "learn more". ???

Choose "open".

I did. Its Ok, I deleted that shortcut altogether and figured it out trying it in a different way. Thanks for the reply.

To enable single-key shortcuts, open the Preferences dialog box:
Edit > Preferences), and under General, select the Use Single-Key Accelerators To Access Tools option
The shortcut is "L" (why not "K" like everyone else? ..sigh)

I have exactly the same issue - it's completely counter-intuitive. I have a PDF that is text only (it was originally created from a Word document, I think), and I can edit the text no problem at all in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. However, what I've just added is a URL - and I'd like to highlight that URL and turn it into a hyperlink.
The official documentation tells me to use "Add link" to get a crosshair, and then draw a box round the bit I want to highlight. That's fine for an image, but for a text, that's just crazy - my URL wraps round a line, so I can't "draw a box" round it. I just want to highlight the text and turn it into a hyperlink. Is there really no way to do this?
I tried, in desperation, using the option to generate links from the entire document - when I did that, it told me it had added 5 links. Great. I've no idea where - none of these mysterious 5 links were highlighted or clickable.
