Why are plain-text URLs missing?

They are not links, just text shaped like URLs. Only annotated (clickable) links are extracted.

Does it check if links are broken?

No — extraction only. Paste results into a link checker or validator for status codes.

Internal page links included?

Only URI (web) links are listed. GoTo-style internal jumps are skipped as non-URLs.

About PDF Links

List every clickable hyperlink in a PDF with the page each lives on.

Upload a PDF to walk every page’s link annotations and list each URL with its page number. Only real annotation links appear — plain-text URLs without link markup are invisible by design (use text search for those).

Files stay in your browser; only the small reader library loads from CDN.

Where it is used

Auditing outbound links before publishing, harvesting references from papers, and checking decks for stale URLs.
