Hello everyone,  
i am using processing since 2015 and just registered for the forum.

i would like to know if you guys can tell me how to put a page/chapter hypertext-link inside a generated pdf file, if this is even possible. I am planning on creating a custom organizer with chapters for “year overview”, “months”, “weeks” and “days”.

Are you generating the pdf with processing or with word?

If processing, which library do you use?

I can’t help you with that, not an expert

My impression is that the pdf generated here are images and not texts and therefore links could be difficult (since those are texts I think)
