Use the Unlinked Text tool to automate the process of searching text that is not a link.
This tool helps you to review the document ensuring the appropriate links are in place. It allows you to search for a text in a specific color and text in the Table of Contents. The system will highlight the text that is not a link, according to the criteria that you define. When a link to a text is removed intentionally or unintentionally and the text color continues to be blue, the
Unlinked Text tool will find this by letting you know the text is no longer a link.

Note: Depending upon your version of Adobe Acrobat and the settings you establish within it, if a source document is open and you open a different document, a message displays indicating that the source document has changed. This message appears only to ensure you are aware that the tool is now referring to a source document that differs from the original. It does not signify that the source document has been modified.
