Using Links for Navigation
What would the world be without hyperlinks? Acrobat offers the ability to easily create links in any
document, which can link to a view or file, or initiate one of many actions.
To add a link to a document, follow these steps:
1. Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Show Advanced Editing Toolbar to display the tools.
2. Select the Link tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar.
3. Drag an area for the link on the document page with the tool; release the mouse to display the Create
Link dialog box (Figure 9.11).
4. Choose whether the link is visible or invisible. For a visible link, select characteristics for the link's
frame, such as a dashed or solid box around the text, or underline the text.
5. Choose an action from the radio buttons on the dialog box and click Next.
6. The subsequent dialog box depends on the chosen action. Choose the appropriate settings and then
return to the Link Properties dialog box.
7. Click Close on the Link Properties dialog.
8. Click the Hand tool on the Basic toolbar to deselect the Link tool and test the link.
To make changes to an existing link, click it with either the Link tool or the Select Object tool to open
the Link Properties dialog box again. The radio buttons available on the General tab when a new link is
constructed are not shown. Instead, the dialog box displays the Actions tab.
Tip: If the document has text and you want to simulate a Web page link, change the text color using the TouchUp
Text Tool first, and then make the Link box invisible.

Common Link Actions
Any number of actions can be added to links, bookmarks, or buttons, but ensure the order is logical. Play a
sound or movie in one document before opening another, for example. Add the actions in any order, and
