Frequently asked
Does the link show on the page?+
No. It is an invisible clickable area, just like links in a PDF made from Word. Add an underline or a colour with the other tools if you want it to stand out.
Which addresses are allowed?+
Web addresses starting with https:// or http://, and mailto: addresses. Anything else is refused, as PDF readers would not open it safely.
Is my file uploaded?+
No. The editor runs inside your browser, so the document never leaves your device. Edits are kept as a draft on your own device until you start over.
