Hello,

 

In PDF fillable forms when I type any website name it has to be enabled as hyperlink automatically.

 

Lets say I typed www.adobe.com in PDF fillable form, it has to be converted automatically to hyperlink like how it is enabled when I'm typing here. I hope it is clear.

Text in a form field is not text on the layout. It is therefore not recognized as a hyperlink.

Go to Edit (or the Acrobat menu if you're on a Mac) - Preferences - General and tick the "Create links from URLs" box.
