Is there a way to auto open a link when a PDF is loaded?

[Xcissors]

I usually just send a link to a google doc or an html file that auto opens it, however some sites require a .pdf file to be submitted and redoing it every time something changes is super annoying

so is there any way to embed a continuously updated google doc or have the PDF automatically open a link when it's loaded with JS or something?

Yes, but it will only work when the PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat  or Reader.

Add this code to a document script.

app.launchURL("The URL.com", true);

i tried that but it doesnt work, this is what the code looks like

Do not put the code inside a function.   Delete the text "function launch()". Then try it.
