#Illustrator 2015 place link font pdf
I have a PDF that I created and hyperlinked in Illustrator CS6 that is online HERE. Hope this works for others (and for my recipients!). Now the link is clickable in the open PDF. Once done selecting, a dialog box will open, prompting you to choose whether you want the link area you just selected to be visibly outlined or invisible, then what you want a click on the area to do (I chose "Open a web page").Ĭlick "Next", type or copy/paste the URL into the provided box, and click "OK". Your cursor will turn into a crosshair with which you can select the area of the PDF image that you want to be a link. What I found instructions online to do is to have the PDF open in Acrobat, and up on the top toolbar, click Tools > Advanced Editing. I'm planning to attach the PDF I created in Illustrator to an email and want the link in it to be clickable when the recipients open the PDF. I've tried all of the above suggestions to no avail, but something that looks like it worked for me is to insert the link into the PDF using Acrobat (I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro), not Illustrator. Whenever possible, you want to do any permanent editing in the tool you're using to create the source material - in this case, Illustrator. This is far preferable than creating a link in the PDF file, which you would have to keep recreating every time it went through a rev roll. Remember: Doing it this way actually puts the hypertext information IN THE DRAWING, and it should work IN THE PDF containing this drawing regardless of what apps you put it through to get it finally into PDF. As I expected, the hyperlink did NOT work from Frame (which a link created WITH Frame will do, if you hold down Ctrl+Alt and click it) - but when I PDFed the FrameMaker document file in which the drawing (and link) appeared, the hyperlink in the PDF worked perfectly. I then re-embedded the drawing in the FrameMaker file. Finally, I made the visible link word blue and put a line under it so it would look like a hyperlink. I copied the very long HTTP link to the drawing sized it by pulling/squeezing the "handles" so it was the same size as the word I wanted to be the link set opacity to 0, which made it disappear put it on top of the text I wanted to be the hyperlink, then pushed it to the back (which, since the opacity was 0, was really unnecessary). This worked easily just as Nico describes.
