How to Create Internal Links in a PDF

Internal links in PDFs allow readers to quickly navigate to different sections within the same document, which is especially useful for long documents or manuals.


In this article, you’ll learn how to create internal PDF links using simple HTML anchor tags.



Add an anchor link that points to an internal placeholder using a hash (#) followed by the link name.


<a href="#internal_link">Navigate to internal link</a>


This is the clickable link that users will select in the PDF.



Place a named anchor at the destination point within the document.


<a name="internal_link">Internal link placeholder</a>


After the document is generated, users can click the link to navigate directly to the referenced section within the same PDF.


💡 Tip: By default, using only the a name anchor can cause the text to appear blue and underlined, similar to a regular link. To keep the text styled like normal content in the editor (black text without underline), you can apply inline styling: 


<a name="internal_link" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Internal link placeholder</a>
