    Affiliate Hyperlinks in a PDF eBook

    Quite correct. I have more than 200 redirects myself. It's tedious, I know....but I view it as a necessary evil. There are several programs out there that will allow you to unlock and edit a pdf file. Consider: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/PDF/Retrieve-PDF.shtml...
