How to link to audio, video, websites, and pages

NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface but the instructions are still accurate.

You can create a link to another page in a script, as well as outside content such as a website, cloud file, audio clip, or reference video.

NOTE: Hyperlinks currently do not transfer from draft to draft. Look for this functionality to be added in a future update.

To create a link, select the text for the link (touch and hold to display the selection pins and the palette) and choose the Create Link icon.

NOTE: If the text already has an annotation associated with it, you need to tap / click and hold to bring up the menu that includes the ability to Create Link. A quick tap / click will open the pop-up menu to edit annotations already in place.

Mac users should highlight the link text, right-click / Control + click / 2-finger trackpad touch and click Create Link:

IMPORTANT: If you're not able to select text, the PDF file has been flattened.

Link to Script Page

After Create Link has been chosen, a window is displayed that allows you to choose a page in script to link to:

Touch a page to display a preview of that page. if it's the correct one, touch Done. To display the page thumbnails again, touch the icon to the right of the text field under the Link to Website button.

Link to Outside Content

in that window there's also a tab to Link to Website. When that tab is selected, the keyboard will automatically load. From there you can type (or copy/paste) a link to any website, cloud file, YouTube video, etc.

NOTE: It's not possible to add a video into the PDF itself -- only hyperlink to it.

When the URL's been entered, touch or click Done.

TIP: A live link will have a faint blue highlight but you may want to create an annotation for it so it's more conspicuous as a live link. You can use any type of annotation -- you can create a Custom Stamp next to the linked text, or as in the example below, a rectangle annotation around the linked text:
