Activating Hyperlinks in PDF

[Barron_Chugg@adobeforums.com]

I have a PDF doc that I don't have the original files for. I want to have all the URLs of the form "www.company.com" automatically converted to hyperlinks. The "Advanced > Links > Create links from URL in document" only catches will URLs starting with "http://..." so it misses all of these.

So, questions:

Is there a way to change what the "Create links from URLs..." uses for its pattern matching?

Is there a macro that can catch the URLs I have and hyperlink them correctly?

Worst case, is there a third party program/plugin that allows more control on activating hyperlinks?

Any and all help appreciated.

Yes, it's actually possible using a JavaScript executed from a menu item to do this. See the Adobe Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

Thanks for the link. Intimidating, but may be the best long term solution.
