Hyperlink in Final Draft?
Anybody know how to put a hyperlink in Final Draft that will carry over to a PDF output? Is this a thing? (Not asking for opinions about whether it's a good idea or not - just asking technically if it can be done.)
There's a page on the FD website that says it can't be done but it's from 3 years ago and it seems bizarre that it's not possible in a world where Backrooms is probably going to beat out the Baby Yoda movie.

It took David Koepp 42 Drafts to get Spielberg's Disclosure Day Right
When you see these things where they talk about a huge number of drafts (I think there was one about Get Out going through dozens of drafts recently) I always kind of wonder where they're drawing a line between a "draft" and an "edit." In my mind a full "draft" involves something like 25% or more new material and reworking of at least one critical element, compared to a "polish" where you would just do something like key in the dialogue for a particular character or two, while an "edit" involves trimming up scenes and sharpening up action. I suppose if you could all three of those as "drafts" I could see getting to 42. But doing 42 drafts involving 25%+ new material seems insane - feels like you'd lose the entire soul of the film by that point. But obviously David Koepp knows better than me...

"Screenplays must be human-authored."
My response would be a hybrid of "duh" and "good."

Anybody have the pilot script (or, failing that, any other scripts) for Something Very Bad is Going to Happen? Was just listening to the Scriptnotes podcast episode on it and wanted to check out the script. (There's a brief excerpt out there but it's only a couple of pages.)
