How to Create Link for PDF
Do you know how to create a link for a PDF document and embed it there? If you're not familiar with that process, don't worry, you're in the right place! We'll take you through the basics of how to create link for PDF embedding using a desktop PDF editor. The reason you need a PDF editor is that PDF documents are not inherently editable. This is what makes them ideal for distributing information that you want to have displayed the same way no matter what the device, OS, screen resolution, and other components are. There's no variation in a PDF document whether you're looking at it on a simple web browser or a super-premium PDF editor with all the bells and whistles. That's the beauty of PDF. On the other hand, it also means it's not easy to add elements like links into a PDF document without the right tool for the job. Today, we'll be showing you how to do that with PDFelement, one of the most popular and fastest-growing PDF editors on the market.
How to Create a Link to a PDF
Since PDFelement is essentially a PDF editing tool, you can not only create a link for PDF but also edit existing links by changing the URL they point to, the anchor text for the links, and lots more.

Step 2. Click the "Link" Button
Click and go to the "Edit" tab at the top of the page. Below that, in the toolbar, you'll see a "Link" button. Click that and you'll see a new "Link" dialog box. Here, you can set the appearance and link action for the link you're inserting. You can also have it open a file from a specific location but make sure the file is stored online so the link works from anywhere.
Step 3. Create a Link to a PDF
Once you click on "Set Link", the link will be embedded in the document. You can now move it around and reposition it exactly as you want.
Step 4. Open Link in PDF
When you see a link like this in a PDF, you can easily open it by clicking it. It'll do whatever action to specified, like drafting an email to someone, visiting a web page, or opening a shared document.
