Your confidential contracts, tax returns, and medical records never leave your device. Here is how we guarantee complete security:
The selected PDF is processed in this browser tab and is not uploaded to a PDF-processing server. The editor does load its PDF libraries from third-party CDNs, which requires a network connection.
Your documents are processed entirely in temporary in-memory ArrayBuffers inside your browser tab. No files are saved to any server disk, and temporary buffers are automatically discarded by your browser when you close or refresh the tab.
Because zero bytes leave your computer, your documents are never transmitted over external networks or stored in third-party databases, ensuring complete confidentiality for personal and business records.
Built for professionals, students, and businesses who require private, reliable in-browser document processing without server dependencies.
Everything you need to know about technical execution, page formatting, structural integrity, and best practices.
Clickable areas are saved as link annotations
A PDF hyperlink is usually stored as an annotation with a clickable rectangle and a destination action. This editor lets you draw that rectangle over text, an image, a button, or another part of a page.
Use a destination that matches the content in your document
| Link type | Example | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Website | https://example.com | Opens a web page in the PDF reader's browser flow |
| [email protected] | Opens a mail application using a mailto link | |
| Page jump | Page 4 | Jumps to a page in the same document |
Make the clickable region large enough to use
Draw a rectangle around the full text or visual element that should respond to a click. Avoid covering nearby labels or other links. Use the page navigation controls to add links on more than one page.
Understand document compatibility before editing
The editor adds link annotations to the PDF. It does not rewrite the visible page text or images. However, complex PDF features such as digital signatures, interactive forms, encryption, and some specialized structures may not be preserved by every PDF editing library.
Keep an untouched copy of important documents. Editing a digitally signed PDF can invalidate its signature, even when the visible page content appears unchanged.
Local document processing with externally loaded libraries
Your selected PDF is processed in the browser tab rather than uploaded to a PDF conversion server. The page loads PDF.js and pdf-lib from public content delivery networks, so the editor needs an internet connection and those third-party scripts must be available.

Encountering an unexpected hurdle with your document? Here are the most effective solutions and diagnostics.
Symptoms: Clicking a hotspot does not open the expected destination
PDF cropping simply hides the visual display box. If you need to permanently eradicate confidential information, use our dedicated Redact PDF tool which permanently deletes the underlying character vectors.
Symptoms: The link rectangle does not line up with the intended text or image
Reopen the original PDF and draw the hotspot again at the correct location. Rotated pages and unusual page boxes can affect how different PDF viewers display annotations, so verify the output in your target reader.
Symptoms: The editor reports that the file is damaged, encrypted, or unsupported
Confirm that the file is a valid PDF and that it is not password-protected. Try opening it in a PDF reader first, then save a fresh copy and upload that copy.
Symptoms: An internal page link navigates to an unexpected page
Select the link area and check the target page number. The destination must be between page 1 and the total number of pages in the current PDF.
Symptoms: Fillable form inputs become uneditable or reset to blank
Editing and re-saving a digitally signed PDF can invalidate its cryptographic signature. Keep the original signed file unchanged. If the document contains important form fields or signatures, test a copy before relying on the exported version.
Symptoms: Browser tab slows down when loading 500+ pages
This editor currently limits selected PDFs to 100 MB. If a file is larger, use a PDF splitting tool to create smaller files, or try a device with more available memory.
Before you share: Open the exported PDF in the PDF reader your audience uses and click each website, email, and page-jump link to confirm its destination.
Answers about website links, email links, internal page jumps, editing, and PDF compatibility.
You can add website links using HTTP or HTTPS, email links using mailto, and internal links that jump to a page in the same PDF.
Use the visual document viewer to click and drag a rectangular hotspot box over any text, button, logo, or diagram where you want the clickable link to appear.
The tool adds standard PDF link annotations. Most modern PDF readers support these annotations, but behavior can vary by viewer and device. Test the exported file in your intended PDF reader.
Yes. You can make link hotspot borders completely transparent so only your underlying graphic or text is seen, or add a subtle border or highlight to emphasize the link.
The PDF is read and edited in your browser by this page. The tool code loads PDF libraries from third-party CDNs, so an internet connection is needed to load the editor. The document itself is not sent to our PDF-processing server.
