How do I create a hyperlink in Acrobat Pro DC?

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.

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)

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". ???

is there a way to create the Link-OBJR tag when creating a link this way?

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 sucks. there is now web link tool for acrobatProDC  if there is they've hidden it well. you guys need some competition because right now you really suck.
