About This Tool
The Dead Link Debugger is a deep structural editor that guarantees link interaction quality in published files.
Broken urls (404/500) inside manuals, whitepapers, or guides reduce branding authority. This tool lets you manage the hyperlinks database seamlessly.
It parses the low-level /Link dictionaries on each page, Probes them, and displays link status in an interactive grid (red for dead links, orange for redirects). Simply type the updated redirect URL, and the tool writes the new target directly back into the PDF binary stream.
