CC Express Post - adding external link

[Jasmine Pun]

Hi there! Just wondering if I create a poster by using CC Express, can I add any 'link' onto it so as to direct my viewers for more information about the text on it? Thanks a lot!

Hi Jasmine,

Thanks for reaching us.

I'd like to inform you that with Adobe Express, adding hyperlinks within projects is not possible. However, you may use other Adobe apps to add hyperlinks to text in PDF exported from Adobe Express.

You may also refer to this community link for more related info: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-discussions/active-link-on-template/td-p/13039318

Let us know if this helps.

Yes, let me explore how it works out in PDF! Love this community, great help!

Looking forward to some new updates of Adobe Express in the future, though it's alreay good enough.

Hi Amitej

Let me have some updates here. I have recently created a poster to add a QR code so I find it useful in letting people know about the details of the event. It helps.

Thanks Amtej!

I am trying to add a hyperlink to a youtube channel in a flyer I am creating for electronic distribution. I could not find an option in adobe express to do this, however I know it was possible in Adobe Spark. Just wondering if anyone knows if you can do this in Express or not, thanks!

Hi @MSUuser1 

Within Adobe Express, adding hyperlinks to projects isn't possible. You may use other adobe apps like Adobe Acrobat Pro Dc to include hyperlinks to the texts.

I hope this helps.

Well that's no good, the whole point of social media is sharing from your website so you would need to be able to hyperlink your posts.  Is my understading correct, that you cant actually do this. I would appreciate a prompt reply from someone asap.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is some kind of workaround.

You can place a "Button" anywhere in the Page. For a Button you can give URL and a Name (e.g. "Link to youtube - klick HERE") and so you can built a "Link-Button". Hope that helps.

Thanks but where do I find the option to add a button, I can't see it anywhere??

[Henrik Heigl]

Hi,

when you are in the Webpage you want to create you click on the "Plus" Sign and then you have the choices.

There you choose the Button and then you can place the Link in there. Hope that helps.

Thanks Henrik but I dont understand, I am currently in the Adobe Express creating a post, it allows me to put content but when I add the hyperlink it shows a big long text but no small link. You are saying to go to website page I want to link to, and add a button there, how will that help me send people from my adobe express post to my webpage??? Thanks

Hi,

I see the missunderstanding.

The "normal" Adobe Express Projects like Posters, Flyers, etc. are ment as some kind of picture. you always produce a JPG or PNG. Such a project is always a kind of picture. This can never contain a link. This can either be packed into the corresponding text on Instagram, Linkedin, etc. using a scheduler, or you can create an Adobe Express webpage as a project. You can not place a link directly in to the Project (yet). Hope that helps.
