For example:
https://ecf.ca1.uscourts.gov/docs1/001010708409?page=23
NOTE: Because of an incompatibility between Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat, the page
number pointer will not work if the user opens the document with Internet Explorer.
4. Click the OK button.
In the word processing application, the hyperlink text is now underlined and blue (or the color
that you specified for hyperlinks), indicating a hyperlink has been created.

CAUTION: Do not use the Print option in the word processing program.
If you are using a version of Word that has an Adobe PDF menu, choose the Convert to Adobe
PDF option.
If you are using Word but do not have an Adobe PDF menu, close the Word file and follow the

A navigation dialog box opens.
c. In the navigation dialog box, find and select the document that you want to convert to PDF,
then click the Open button.
A series of dialog boxes open while the document is converted to PDF. When the
conversion is complete, the document is displayed in an Adobe Acrobat window, with
active hyperlinks (the ones you defined in the Word document).

You are now ready to file your document and upload the PDF with hyperlinks.
