How to enable hyperlinks automatically in PDF forms

[Sunil Reddy]

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.

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

Thanks for swift reply. Actually it was already enabled in the preferences tab, but still when i type any website it is not enabling as hyperlink.

It doesn't work in form fields.

In a form text field?

Thanks for swift reply. Yes in form text field.

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