You do not need to strip every link from a document just to fix one broken one — most PDFs with several links only need one or two addressed.

Step-by-step

1Open Remove PDF Links and upload the PDF.
2Review the list of detected links and their destinations.
3Select just the broken or outdated link and remove it, leaving the rest untouched.
4Download the updated PDF.

Replacing instead of removing

If you want the link to point somewhere new rather than just disappear, use the PDF Editor to add a fresh hyperlink after removing the old one.
