Tool usage guide
The PDF Link Annotator is a specialized utility that transforms plain text into interactive PDF documents by automatically detecting URLs and chapter references, creating clickable external links and internal navigation jumps.
Background

Problem
Manual linking in PDF editors is tedious and prone to errors.
How to use
Paste the documentation text, ensure 'Auto Link Chapter Names' is enabled, and generate the PDF.

A professional PDF where all URLs are clickable and every chapter reference acts as a jump link.
Background

How to use
