  1. How to Remove all Hyperlinks in PDF

  2. LINKING AND REMOVING To every reader that sees resources and navigation as important, links go a long way. However, there are still some readers that may find links as a hindrance to their activity. If this is so, removing links is the answer but can you remove all links in a file in one click?

  3. Review: What is a link? • A hyperlink is a data or present within the contents of a document that is considered as a reference or navigation. • It can be activated and be viewed by simply clicking or tapping on the word or button on the PDF. • A hyperlink can redirect a reader to a new website, a document, or a specific page within the same document. • This can also be placed on a text and can be called “hypertext.”

  4. Review: What is a link? • A link on the other hand is simply the address of the resource a.k.a. the URL or HTML control which you put on your data so that the hyperlinks will be clickable. These two terms are interchangeable to a user as they both signify the reference.

  5. Removing links and hyperlinks • Hyperlinks can automatically be removed with the print to PDF feature available on every computer. • With this action, you will be able to flatten out the PDF into a non-active PDF file.

  6. Removing links and hyperlinks • Print to PDF’s main function is to create an electronic copy of your printed file. • So, a link won’t be clickable on printed paper and therefore will also be an unclickable link on the screen. Basically, what you see on a print is what you get on your digital file.

  10. NOTE: The problem with this technique is the fact that the links still look like they are clickable.

  17. Why do some links still work in a desktop?

  18. Automatic Tagging • In some cases, links may still be “working” when opening it on the desktop in a reader like Adobe Acrobat. You may ask, why is this so if the links are already removed? This is due to the auto-link detection feature in some PDF readers and applications. When this application reads and encounters a URL text like https://deftpdf.com or support@deftpdf.com, these texts are converted. This feature can be removed or disabled with Print to PDF or can be disabled on the settings of your Adobe Acrobat reader.
