How to Audit Links in a PDF Before Publishing
Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team
Clicking through every link in a long report to check it works is slow and easy to get wrong. An extracted list is faster to review and easier to hand off to someone else.
What to check for in the export
- ·Unresolved internal links — often left behind after pages are deleted or reordered
- ·File-launch or form-submission actions, which some organizations flag as a security review item
- ·JavaScript actions, counted and flagged separately so they get a second look
- ·Accessibility descriptions, useful for confirming screen readers can announce what a link does
