PDF Link Checker – Find and Inspect Links Inside a PDF

A PDF often contains clickable links to websites, email addresses, phone numbers and internal pages. Over time these links can become outdated, duplicated or incorrect. The PDF Link Checker helps you find all link annotations inside a PDF and review them in one place directly in your browser.

What does this tool check?

  • Website URLs (http and https links)
  • Email links (mailto:)
  • Phone links (tel:) when present
  • Internal PDF destinations and page jumps
  • Duplicate URLs used multiple times in the document
  • Links that may need manual review

Why check links in a PDF?

If you share a brochure, resume, eBook or business proposal as a PDF, broken or wrong links create a poor experience for the reader. Checking links before sharing helps you ensure that website addresses are correct, email addresses are valid and internal navigation works as expected.

This tool is also useful for content editors, marketers and QA teams who need to audit documents before publication without opening every page manually.

What information is shown for each link?

  • Link label and destination URL
  • Link type – web, email, phone or internal
  • Page number where the link was found
  • Status – detected or needs review
  • Quick filter by link type and warning status
  • Search to find specific domains or URLs
  • Total links, unique URLs, web, internal and duplicate counts

How to check PDF links

  1. Upload the PDF you want to inspect.
  2. Click Check PDF Links to scan all pages for link annotations.
  3. Review the summary – total links, unique URLs and warnings.
  4. Use All, Web, Email, Internal, Warnings filter and search box.
  5. Open suspicious links in new tab to verify manually.

Privacy and limitations

All link extraction happens in your browser. Smart Maker does not automatically visit every website found in your PDF and does not store your file. Only resume and biodata need login.

The checker reads standard PDF link annotations. Links that are written as plain text without a clickable annotation may not be detected. A warning means the link may need review, not necessarily that the destination is offline.
