Indesign does it. PPT does it. MS Word does it. Emails do it... its time Adobe Illustrator word can be highlighted and hot-linked to a url. I do a fair amount of 1-2 page designs in Illustrator - like 20+ years. In order to make a word or book title or reference link to an outside website, I need to make it a PDF and create the link in Acrobat. The problem with this step is when the client make changes - which I make edits back in the native AI file, I have to redo all the PDF links. This can be time consuming for one, and two... there is the occasional - "Oh **** - I forgot to add the link back in" prior to sending to client.
I do not understand why this essential feature keep eluding the great AI.
