why cant i open pdf on mac in gdrive anymore

If you are interested in making web links work in a vast majority of PDF viewers for desktop and mobile, I'd highly recommend creating real hyperlinks (instead of relying on the auto link detection feature).

Apple PDF preview feature in Apple iOS apps, such as Mail, Safari, iBooks.

Acrobat Reader mobile apps (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone).

Here are a few examples of the PDF viewers that do not support the auto link detection. Unfortunately, the auto link detection feature is not supported by all PDF viewers on desktop computers or mobile devices. If you deselect the 'Create links from URLs' option and reopen your PDF document, you will notice that the 'links' no longer work. (Please note that the Preferences dialog is available in Acrobat Pro, Standard, and Reader desktop apps only.) The feature can be enabled/disabled by selecting/deselecting the General > 'Create links from URLs' option in the Preferences dialog. When Acrobat Reader encounters URL text, such as ' ' and ' ', it automatically converts the URL text to links on the fly.

You may be wondering.Why do the 'links' work in the desktop version of Acrobat Reader on a Windows or Mac computer?īecause the desktop version of Acrobat Reader has the auto link detection feature.

I opened your PDF document in Acrobat Pro DC (desktop app) and used the Edit PDF feature to check if links are available in page 3.Īcrobat Pro DC reported: 'There are no links to the Web on this page.' I investigated the link problem with your PDF document and concluded that your PDF document does not contain real hyperlinks.
