This is perfect if you’ve created a cheat sheet or checklist for your clients, subscribers

Hey everyone.
Welcome to Yes To Tech, where we empower non-techie online entrepreneurs like you to maximize
your online presence.
First of all, if you don’t know how to create a PDF form, make sure you watch my video on
how to design gorgeous lead magnets and PDFs in Canva.
The link to it is below this video.
Okay, so once you have that PDF form ready, open up your browser, and open up a site called
PDF escape, which is a free online PDF editor.
Click on ‘free online’ on the left-hand side, and then click on ‘upload PDF to PDF
escape’, and click on ‘choose file’ to locate and open your existing PDF form
that you want to insert a hyperlink to.
Okay, so as you’ll notice, the PDF you created will open up in your browser.
Let’s say I want to add a link to where it says Wix over here.
To do so, all you have to do is click on ‘link’ from the top, right-hand side, and then click
and drag, so that your link box covers the word or words you want to be linked.
Once I release my cursor, this popup will appear.
I can either link this box we just created to a URL or to another page in this PDF document.
I’ll go ahead and select URL, and type in the URL in the space provided.
And then click on OK.
If you made a mistake in the link box’s size, you can resize it by placing your cursor
on top of these black squares, and resizing the box so that it’s in the shape you want.
Once you’re satisfied with your link box’s appearance, just click on this grey area around
the PDF.
To create a new link box, just repeat the same process we went through.
To delete a link box, just right click on it, and click on delete object.
If you made a mistake, and want to change the link to something else, right click on
the link box, click on object properties, and edit the URL.
When you’ve added all links to your PDF document, click on this green button on the
left-hand side panel to save and download your PDF with clickable links.
Now when you open it, you’ll see that everywhere you added a link box, you can go ahead and
click on it, and it’ll redirect you to that URL.
And that’s it.
Now you know how to insert a hyperlink in a PDF for free.
Again the link to PDF escape, the FREE online PDF editor that we used in this video, is
in the description box below if you’d like to check it out.
I now want to hear from you.
Let me know if you plan on using PDF Escape to add hyperlinks to the PDF documents you
create.
