Question
I am trying to insert my website link into an article I've written which was done in Adobe Illustrator and saved as a PDF.
No luck on getting it to hyperlink to my site.

Answer
Hi Robert,

You have to add the hyperlink in Acrobat after you make the PDF. You cannot export out a pdf with text hyperlinks like you would expect.

If you save this as a web graphic, then you can use the attributes panel to create a url link to your website.


Thanks
