What is this PDF link editor?
A free, browser-based tool that scans every page of a PDF, lists all of its hyperlinks, and lets you edit each URL in place or delete links you no longer need. It flags any link whose URL is malformed — including mailto: links with an invalid email address — so you can fix it before publishing. Download the corrected PDF, or export the list as CSV. Nothing to install, no sign-up — and because everything runs locally in your browser, your file is never uploaded to a server.
How to list and edit PDF links
- Upload your PDF by dragging it in or clicking the upload area.
- The tool lists every hyperlink with its page number and a validity badge. Links that look broken are flagged for attention.
- Edit any URL directly in the list, or use the trash icon to delete a link. Changes are validated live.
- Click “Download edited PDF” to save a new PDF with your changes, or “Download list (.csv)” to export the links.
Why it checks URL syntax, not live links
A tool running in your browser cannot request arbitrary third-party URLs to see whether they return a 404 — browser security (the same-origin / CORS policy) blocks those cross-site requests. Sending your PDF to a server to check links would mean uploading your file, which this tool deliberately avoids. So we validate that every URL is syntactically well-formed (and that mailto: addresses are valid emails), which already catches the most common problems: typos, missing schemes, and stray characters. You can then fix them right here and download the corrected PDF.
Common use cases
- Fixing a typo'd or outdated URL in a brochure or whitepaper before publishing.
- Updating links to a new domain across a long report in one pass.
- Removing stale or unwanted links, or auditing every external URL in a document.
