Add, remove or edit Hyperlinks in PDF Files with PDF Link Editor

Adobe Reader features a link tool that can edit the text formatted with a link behind it. If the text is the URI, Universal Resource Indicator, you can directly edit the text with the text touch-up tool. This, however, must be done manually. So, if there are multiple links editing them individually can become quite a task. You must search, replace and then next, repeatedly. PDF Link Editor cuts short this tiresome process. PDF Link Editor can edit, replace, remove and extract PDF links in batch mode. Its layout is simple yet, quite intuitive.

Now, to use it, add a PDF file with hyperlinks to it. The file will show all hyperlinks, and you can preview your PDF in the right-side panel. The document preview can prove to be quite helpful, as you can also click hyperlinks in the document to see where they lead. So, you do not need to open the PDF file with another program just to figure out which links need to be replaced, extracted or removed.

By default, PDF Link Editor features a built-in search capability. It automatically searches and lists all PDF links as soon as you upload a PDF file.
