Question: I've a PDF with so many hyperlinks in it and I want to copy the to a text file or excel. Currently, I can only click the hyperlink and when it opens in a web browser, I can copy. Is there a better way to do that on VeryPDF? Thanks in advance for the help!
Answer: When you need to copy hyperlinks from PDF from opening website, maybe you can try to convert PDF to word. There are two kinds of hyperlinks: An inline link displays remote content without the need for embedding the content and a kind of hyperlinks embedding to some text or image. For URL, we can directly convert PDF to text then copy and paste for further saving without opening web browser. For those hyperlinks, which embed link to some text or image, it will be quite hard to copy hyperlinks from PDF.
