PDF Link checking

We maintain several project manuals online. The manuals consist of html files that link to PDFs. Within the PDFs we have links to other PDF files. One PDF may contain 50 links. Is there an automated link checker that I could run to ensure all my links are live? Currently I have to click on each link individually.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7, Windows

Adobe GoLive does an EXCELLENT job of checking links across a set of documents.

For single document checking, Acrobat Professional includes such a feature.

Hi there,

Could you please direct me to the feature in Acrobat Professional that does the single document link checking?

Thanks,

Hi,

this feature was removed from Acrobat 9 and X.

Hi,

inside the Acrobat 9 SDK you will find a free sample-demo plugin named : VerifyURLs.acroplugin

Edit: also available inside the Acrobat X SDK.
