When i receive an email alert about a new property there is a hyperlink in the emailand this is the one i would like to copy and past onto tthe PDF form described above. i do not want to nake a permanent link on the form as the info will change with every email i receive. if i copy the hyperlink into a text boc it only comes up as text. i can't believe it is so hard to do this. If i copy the link into word or excel and then save the file as a pdf the link will work but then i can't use the form. OMG please help!!

Answer 1

Acrobat is not an authoring program like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. So extensive editing is not possible.
How do you want the link to look?
There is a link tool that can insert a link around a location.
You can create a button form field and customize the displayed text and create an an action to execute a link.
You can create a text field and enter text into the field and create a mouse up action to execute a link actions.
Links in PDF can do much more than open a web page.
As noted you can create a form and replace the content layer and retain all the form fields and actions.
If you convert a Word document to a PDF make sure you set the PDF Maker conversion settings include the conversion of web links to interactive links.
