Copy same web links to different pages doesn't work

My client gave a me pdf that I have to create links for emails & websites. The problems I have are:
 
The references we have for a websites don't have the word www. meaning that Acrobat doesn't recognize them. I have a 100 page magazine where in every right hand page there is a website that I have to create a web link. I can Find-search in the pdf for every instance of the word .com & then create a web link but I was wondering is there any faster way to do this?
 
The second issue I have is I want to use the same web link & copy to another page. I tried copy using the link tool & the selection tool but when I go the page I want to paste it it doesn't work. Any help will be appreciated :-)

Yes, Acrobat doesn't recognize links that don't start with "www", which is why I developed this tool:

do this: use paste command on edit menu [ctrl+v]
