Need Help Embedding a Link(s) in an Existing PDF

I have a PDF of our restaurant menu. I want to add/embed a few text links and post this PDF on various online sites. The links when clicked would take viewers back to iour website.

 

I've made some links in Acrobat which seem to work but once the PDF is saved the links don't work. I don't know if I'm saving it improperly or what.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Hi @rodm53662127 

Can you give more detail to how you added the link? Is it to text or an image? Did you put in the full URL (https://site.com)?
What happens when the link is clicked?

In Acrobat I clicked Link/New Links, highlighted the text and added the full url. In acrobat the link is only active if I click the T text tool and click on it. It's inactive if I use the Pointer tool. That's as far as I get. And I'm not sure how to save/export the file either.

We're trying to understand exactly what you did, hence our questions.

If you could share a video demonstrating the issue, and/or the actual file, that would save a lot of these rounds of questioning...


Here's a pic of the pdf file and you can see at the top of the page I've inserted the link which works if you click on it. But when I save it the link vanishes. How can I save it so the link works? Save as other? Export?

Hi @rodm53662127,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

 

Have you checked if the links are correctly mapped to the site you want to redirect your users to? 

You might want to check the steps mentioned here: Links and attachments in PDFs, Adobe Acrobat

 

Hope this helps.
