Display Modes
Choose from four display modes:
Make Full URL Clickable
The complete URL is displayed and clickable in the PDF.
Preview: https://example.com/uploaded-files/document.pdf
Best for: Digital documents where recipients need to see and click the full URL.
Custom Clickable Text
Your chosen text becomes a clickable link. The URL is hidden from view.
Preview: Click here
Best for: Clean, professional documents where showing the URL isn't necessary.
Clickable Text with URL Appended
Your chosen text is clickable, with the URL shown in parentheses for reference.
Preview: Click here (https://example.com/document.pdf)
Best for: Documents where you want both a friendly label and visible URL.
Raw URL as Plain Text
The URL is displayed as plain text without any clickable functionality.
Preview: https://example.com/uploaded-files/document.pdf
Best for: Documents intended for print, or when you don't want clickable links.
