As a **Claris partner** , we also **resell FileMaker licenses**. Buying the license from us has some **extra benefit** , one of them being a **nicely formatted PDF** document with all information about the license, **including download links**. In order to be able to generate this document from our FileMaker based CRM, I needed to find a way to include functional web links in it. So I wrote a **custom function** that does it, without needing any plug-ins or other external technologies.

The **custom function** simply **takes a PDF** saved from FileMaker, and **adds a link to it**. As long as you know what page and where on that page you want the link to be, **you can modify your PDF that easily**. All without any plug-ins.
