Get the full version of Adobe Acrobat or use Open Office Writer...create a .doc with links and then export it as a .pdf. I've also read comments that Foxit PDF Editor will do this but I can't confirm it.

To export as a PDF cute PDF writer works nice and it's free. It's just a simple add on for your printer if you don't already have one. Create the document in word using your links, your links should show up in blue, they do for me. Then hit print and select PDF in the drop down and give the file a name and save it and the PDF will have clickable links. Mary

Here is a link that might be useful: Cute PDF

No need to get full Adobe Acrobat. Can do an active link in a MS Word doc and more.

jean001, can you write me check my page, and give me the real skinny on this? Appreciate your time, thanks for your interest in helping me.

If bookmarks is all you are concerned with,, FireFox (and IE too) have the ability to save as... bookmarks.html ... a webpage.

Wordpad in my win8.1, if I write http://pdfcrowd.com/#convert_by_upload .. it automatically is a clickable link. Nothing special required.

mikie, love it that you answer me, and most times are helpful, that last statement, was pure Greek to me, didn't understand a word of it. Thanks anyway, you are dealing with an adult that is not puter literate by any means.

Hi shaddy...I'm a visual person and maybe this graphic may help. This is using WordPad. I type in the name of the site, then either copy and paste or manually type in the URL. It will automatically be a hyperlink.

YOu make it sound so easy, nothing ever comes easy to this old gal, but I am going to try it and see if it works, thanks so much for the response. Can I use Word, rather than wordpad? I do prefer that.

Read my post to you. Just copy and paste the links into word and they will show up as clickable links then just covert the word document to PDF. Really very simple to do. Mary

Gosh, Mary, guess I wasn't seeing the forest for the trees, thanks for the yank, and got it, just tried it and doggone if it doesn't work just fine, like you said.
I really appreciate that tidbit, will save me some time in gathering some of the favs I don't use too often, but don't want to lose.
Again, thanks for your interest in helping an old dog learn something new.

I do hope you have all your favorites backed up for reloading in case something were to happen to the computer or you ever have to switch computers. Mary

Nope, I don't , have most of them in my head, as I use very few, mostly crochet things, and have used the same ones for years. I rather enjoyed getting rid of so many favs the last computer change I had, didn't use them anyway, and seemed to be like ivy climbing on a house, useless, and not needed. So, I started fresh again, and have never looked back. It is not the end of the world, at least for me, and further, what fun snooping around trying to find again. What I really don't want to lose, in patterns, etc., I already have hard copies of them.
I sure do thank you for your nudge and helping me, hotlinks in a pdf, perhaps won't even be in existence anymore by the time I get around to using them, seems to be a lot of dead ends for lots of links.

"... I rather enjoyed getting rid of so many favs the last computer change ..."

What I did is, like MIkie mentions above, save my bookmarks from my old machine as "bookmarks.html". I then put "bookmarks.html" in my documents folder on my new computer and double clicked it. It opened in Firefox and I bookmarked it. That way I have a bookmark called "Bookmarks", which contains the (cluttered) bookmarks from my old computer.

That way I can have cleaner, but still have easy access to my old bookmarks... just in case. :)

chugger, I understand bookmarks do not take up a lot of RAM, so this is interesting to me to hear about this, and I never would have thought of it. Seems to me so much clutter in and about on the computer, sometimes, I wonder where it all can come from. Computer things are my passion, more in favs there than any other folder, love to keep on top of the innovations out there.

I just "export" the favorites into another folder. An easy backup, and all clickable. No need for word, pdf, or anything else.
