PDF problem
Links in a PDF are not clickable
SymptomYou can see a web address in the PDF, but clicking it does nothing.
Why it happens
- •The exporting app didn't create link annotations.
- •The PDF was printed to PDF, which drops links.
How to fix it
Add links
In the editor, select the text, press Link and paste the address.
Export differently
Use the app's Export or Save as PDF rather than Print to PDF to keep links.
