Nevertheless, some users may be unsure of how to access the necessary steps for utilizing this feature. In this guide, we'll provide comprehensive instructions on how to add and edit links in PDFs using UPDF for iOS.
Add Links
In order to add links, users will have to follow the steps mentioned below:
- Open a PDF document in UPDF for iOS.
- Enter Editing mode by selecting the Edit icon from the options displayed at the bottom.
- Choose the "Link to Web" or "Link to Page" option from the options displayed at the bottom and tap anywhere on the PDF to add a link.

- The "Link to Web" option allows you to enter the desired URL address and tap to navigate to the specified page after applying the link. The "Link to Page" option requires you to enter the desired page number.
- Select your preferred option and add a hyperlink or page as the link. Once completed, a pinned square box will appear in the center of your screen.
- If you choose the "Link to Web" option, UPDF will prompt you to enter the URL you wish to link to.

- If you choose the "Link to Page" option, a nail icon and a box labeled "No Destination" will appear. You need to place the box on the page from which you want to jump to the designated page. Then, if you want to jump to another location on the current page, tap the nail icon and move it to the desired spot on the current page. In this case, you will jump to the current page. Alternatively, if you want to jump to a specific page, tap the nail icon and then click any area on the page you want to go to. The box with the words "No Destination" will then change to show the page number of the page where you placed the nail.
