How to copy URL from Hyperlink in Adobe Reader DC?

Question

I really cannot believe that Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, a highly professional application, on Windows 10, a highly professional OS, would not have the facility to copy a URL -- but this is what I get when I right click on a hyperlink in a PDF opened there:

So, how can I copy an URL from a PDF opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC ?

Solution 1

As @worthwelle mentioned in a comment, my current workaround is to

1. save the PDF locally (if not)

2. navigate in the file explorer to the file

3. right-click open with Chrome (not Adobe reader)

4. In Chrome go to the link you want to get the url, right-click and 'copy link address'

   By default my browser opens PDF with the Adobe Reader (not the browser PDF viewer). If it is not the case for you copying the url of the pdf file in Chrome browser address bar might be enough (no need to save the file locally).

Solution 2

If you don't have access to Chrome, as is the case at my work, you can open the PDF with MS Word and convert it to .DOCX Find the hyperlink, right click and edit. Huge pain.

This doesn't work if the remote server redirects you to another web address.
