+## Description
+
+With the PDF format, each content element has a specific position, and in some cases, each character is positioned separately. PDF standard does not have any information about tables as well, once exported the tables in the document are represented by lines and text fragments. 
+
+Although the editors do not allow you to insert the widgets it is possible to insert a place holder and then use its postion to insert the widget.
+
+## Solution
+
+First we need to create a table in the document. Next we have to iterate throught the elements of the page and to find the text fragment which we want. After that for creating Links to URLs or Locations within the document, we use Actions - UriAction or GoToAction.
