Hi,

I'm having a problem with the behaviour of hyperlinks. In one document, right clicking a hyperlink allows me two options Open Weblink in Browser or Copy Link Location. In another document, I get a much longer and less useful menu that doesn't address the link at all. Is this a document-specific issue or is there a way to alter my setting so that I can cut an paste a hyperlink?

Thanks

In PDF, the Link annotation has over a dozen discrete actions that it can perform.
One of these is "Open a web link".
If a link annotation has this as its action, then the context menu will reflect this and and provide options such as
Open Weblink in Browser - Append to Document - Open Weblink As New Document - Copy Link Location.

However, other Link actions result in other choices on the context menu.
Expected behavior, as the Link action is not "open weblink".

As to copy paste - any link annotation may be copied by use of the Link Tool and then pasted else where in a PDF.
Once that is done, the annotation can be positioned (using the Link Tool).

Be well...
