How to Keep Hyperlinks Active During PDF to Word Conversion
Open your document in the PdfXpo PDF to Word converter.
Our URL scanner identifies blue-underlined text and hidden anchor tags.
Ensure 'Active Links' is enabled (Pre-selected) in the conversion options.
Convert the file locally in your browser's WASM environment.
Open your Word file and test your links—they remain fully clickable.
Why Most Converters Break Your Links
Standard conversion tools often treat hyperlinks as plain text. The blue color remains, but the underlying URL is lost. This is incredibly frustrating for resumes, portfolios, and reports. PdfXpo uses deep-link inspection to extract the target URL from the PDF's annotation layer. We then re-embed these as native Microsoft Word Hyperlinks. Whether it's a website link, an email address, or a link to another page within the same document, everything remains functional in 2026.
Privacy Protocol
Unlike most tools, PdfXpo processes files directly in your browser. Your documents never touch a server. They remain in your device's memory for the duration of the conversion and are wiped when you close the tab.
