Instantly convert plain text to links in Acrobat Pro

Setting up URL hyperlinks and email address links within the text in page layout programs such as Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress has never been easy. Since neither DTP layout program makes it simple, why not skip the linking and do it quick and efficiently in Acrobat?
Acrobat has a feature that scans through PDFs and converts any web URL or e-mail address into a hyperlink. All you need to do is make a PDF out of the document and leave the linking for Acrobat. To do so, select Advanced > Links > Create From URLs In Document. This command works well for most links and will significantly decrease the time it would take to make hyperlinks in other programs.
