How to Extract Links from a PDF
Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team
A long PDF can have dozens of clickable links scattered across pages. Extracting them gives you one list to review instead of clicking through the whole document.
Step-by-step
- 1Open Extract PDF Links and upload your PDF.
- 2Review the classified links — page, target type, and destination are shown for each one.
- 3Download as CSV or JSON.
Nothing is opened
Every link, file launch, and JavaScript action is decoded as text only. The tool never actually opens a URL or executes a script while extracting.
