I need to add clickable hyperlinks to my newsletter in Adobe Express. This newsletter is downloaded to PDF and the links need to work.  How do I do this?  

 

Correct answer David__B

Note: The link feature works when you save to PDF. Image formats don't support embedded hyperlinks.

I'm also here to complain about the lack of hyperlinks. C'mon guys, get your head in the game.

Same problem here. What a headache not to be able to just add a hyperlink in Adobe Express... Real time wasted

I am in the same situation. I'm re-creating a flyer to be emailed as a pdf. The original was created in Affinity Publisher and nothing copied with the text as far as formatting at all - font, size, tabs, hyperlinks. I do not have InDesign or Adobe Pro. I know the premise behind Express is to be easy however in my opinion, this is a basic text function and should be possible in Express if one option is to create a flyer. I do have Photoshop - I'll try it there and see if it works.

I've decided to leave the flyer in Affinity. It already exists there. I've taken the time once to re-create it in Express. I do not think I want to take the time to re-create it yet again in Photoshop, which is really not for this purpose. My hope was to be able to consolidate in the Adobe apps offered in the Photography bundle and not have to use anything else but that was not to be. If Express ever allows text hyperlinks, maybe I'll consider going back to this. But for now, Express does not fit my needs. Thanks.

If you are looking to create clickable hyperlinks in text within an Adobe software, the process may vary depending on the specific software you are using. Generally, Adobe software like InDesign, Illustrator, and Acrobat Pro allow you to create hyperlinks easily. Here's a general overview of how you might achieve this in Adobe InDesign:

  1. Adobe InDesign:
    • Open your document in Adobe InDesign.
    • Select the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink.
    • Go to the "Hyperlinks" panel (Window > Interactive > Hyperlinks).
    • Click the New Hyperlink button in the panel.
    • In the New Hyperlink dialog box, you can set the hyperlink type (URL, Email, Page, etc.) and enter the appropriate link destination.
    • Click OK to create the hyperlink. It seems like you're looking for advice or instructions related to preparing content for printing.
    • You can also set additional options like appearance and behavior for the hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel.

Remember that the specific steps may vary based on the version of Adobe InDesign you are using. If you are using a different Adobe software or a newer version, the process might be slightly different. Make sure to refer to the official documentation or help resources for the specific software you are using to get accurate instructions.

For other Adobe software or updated information beyond September 2021, I recommend checking the Adobe official website or relevant resources for the latest instructions on creating hyperlinks in clickable text.

Hi @Lisa

 

Welcome to the Adobe Express Community!!

 

Adding hyperlinks within projects is not possible. However, you may use other Adobe apps, preferably Adobe Acrobat DC Pro, to add hyperlinks to text in PDF exported from Adobe Express.

 

Best,

I don't have Acrobat DC, so can't do that.  What a disapointment.  Why is this not a feature of this program?

Hi @Lisa,

Embedding external hyperlinks to posts (published on Social media) is usually determined by the options offered by the Social Media platforms.

Some platforms don't allow publishing posts that have linked URLs in them.
