I need a PDF editor to create internal hyperlinks in a document. I purchased a huge PDF and would like to be able to link internally to keep me from having to scroll or search the relevant data when needed. This thing is massive, over 1100 pages, and it’s for ttrpg so there are a lot of tables, locations, special items, etc. that I’d like to be able to link to and find quickly.

I’m okay with paying for software if it will include this feature specifically, however, I don’t prefer the subscription-based services I keep seeing listed in general searches. Bonus points: no major hassle with licenses when upgrading my OS to the newest LTS, and I can also run it as a Linux app on my Chromebook.

    Microsoft word? Should be able to open a PDF, edit, and re-save as DOCX or PDF again.

      I’m not running Word. I do have LibreOffice on my Linux machines, and use Google Docs on the Chromebook. Docs has struggled to open the pdf because of the size of it. I’ve even considered using Sigil to try and edit it into epub format.

        Crossover has a great WINE implementation of Word 2016 if you choose to go this route.
