Title: Remove PDF icon when hyperlinking Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Remove PDF icon when hyperlinking * Resolved [Gijs22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gijs22/) * (@gijs22) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-pdf-icon-when-hyperlinking/) * Hello * I wonder if someone could help me out? When I hyperlink a PDF file to bit of text, a small PDF icon appears on the left of this text. * For example: I want people to click on the words: ‘training course’ and when they click on it the PDF file shows up. BUT I do not want to show the PDF icon on the left side, if that makes sense. * Can anyone please help? * Thanks, * Gijs * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 29 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-pdf-icon-when-hyperlinking/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-pdf-icon-when-hyperlinking/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-pdf-icon-when-hyperlinking/#post-6037847) * Hi, * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. * TablePress is not adding such an icon, so that it’s likely done automatically by your theme. Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look?
