I have a large doc (10,000 pages)I converted from a web page into a pdf.

There are numerous links throughout the doc that are not appended to the doc. Is there a shortcut that searches out all un-appended links in doc without having to go to each page where the links are at and do it manually?

thanks

What do you mean by "appended", exactly? Do you mean they link to something outside of the document?

Some links have the little "w" when you hover over them. I would like to be able to download all of those links into the doc automatically so I dont have to manually append each link.

They would be linked within the doc after they are appended into the doc.

You can try doing this with JavaScript, using the app.execMenuItem method. You'd have to loop through each (original) page, go to the current page, and execute the menu item. The easiest way is probably to create a folder-level JavaScript file that contains the code and sets up a custom toolbar button or menu item for this.

Sounds too deep for me. I'll just do it manually when I run across the link I need. Dont know anything about js.
