Hi all,

Is there a way of removing links from a PDF that Acrobat tagged in error? I've made all necessary corrections in the tag tree, but the accessibility checker is telling me that there are links missing from the structure tree (which shouldn't be there in the first place).

Thanks,
Anne

Hi Anne,

Try choosing Edit (from the right menu), then choose "Add/Edit links" from
the vertical menu. All the black content boxes change to only highlight the
links. From here you should be able to add or delete links. To get outta
this editing view, click the 'x' in the upper right hand corner.

Does this help or did I misunderstand your question?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,

Where do I find the Edit menu? I'm not sure what you mean by the right menu. I'm using Acrobat Pro X, if that helps.

Thanks,
Anne
