Dead links, found and pinned to their page
Links to pages that do not exist, destinations that were deleted, and hotspots that do nothing when tapped.
See every broken or wrong-page link in your planner PDF, and whether it fits Etsy's 20 MB limit, before a buyer does.

This is the real result for our sample planner: four links that would have reached buyers broken, and four worth a second look. Each one is pinned to its page so you know exactly what to fix.

BetaBroken links in a planner turn into messages and reviews. The checker finds them before your listing goes live.
Links to pages that do not exist, destinations that were deleted, and hotspots that do nothing when tapped.
The checker reads the label under a link and the heading of the page it lands on. When they disagree, you hear about it.
Text labels only. Image-only tabs are drawn but not read.
How it is detectedSizes estimated on an iPad screen, against Apple's 44 pt control size and WCAG's 24 px minimum.
Etsy allows 5 files of 20 MB each. See how close you are and how many parts you need.
Check your filesTwo links stacked on one spot mean a tap can open either one. The checker flags both.
No upload server, no account, no cookies. The page's security policy blocks connections to other sites, so your design stays yours.

No. The checker reads your PDF inside your own browser, using pdf.js running in a background worker on your device. PlannerHop has no upload server, and the page's security settings block it from connecting to any other site. You can turn off your Wi-Fi after the page loads and the checker still works.
Links that go nowhere, links to pages or destinations that do not exist, tabs that go to the wrong month or section, links that overlap so a tap could open either one, tap areas too small for a finger, links outside the page, unsafe link types, pages nothing links to, and the file size against Etsy's 20 MB limit.
GoodNotes' support page says links open with a tap on iPad and iPhone, and that on Android, Windows and Web you need Read Only Mode. Some users in GoodNotes' feedback forum report links not working on Windows and Android. PlannerHop has not tested real devices yet, so test your finished file on the devices your buyers use.
Yes, in beta: the link finder (Link my planner) reads your PDF on your device, proposes a link for every tab, month, day and contents line, lets you check each one, then writes them and re-checks the file. Up to 20 links per file are free; a planned one-time Planner Pass ($9 per planner) will unlock every link in one planner. Nothing is on sale yet. For the first 5 customers, planners can also be linked by hand: $15 up to 100 pages, $25 up to 400 pages. No payment is taken on this site.
The checker reads the text under each link (like "Jun") and the heading of the page it goes to (like "May 2027"). When both name a month or weekday and they disagree, it flags the link. It only flags what it can read, so image-only tabs are not checked this way.
Buyers tap tabs with a finger. Apple's design guidelines list 44 x 44 points as the default control size, and the WCAG 2.2 accessibility standard asks for at least 24 x 24. The checker estimates each link's size on a typical iPad screen and flags ones under 24, and notes ones under 44.
