Is it possible to link the whole word to a web page using Javascript?
For example the the text is like below
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/acrobat
http://www.google.co.in/

Please help.

What do you mean by "whole word"? Do you mean creating a link when a file is converted from another format, like word? Or creating a line in Acrobat using the Link Tool? The link tool creates a link over a rectangular area. It doesn't really have anything to do with whats underneith it.

So you want to search for a word and then place a link over it?

In fact, there is an example of this in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference. Look at the doc.addLink() function.
