Duplicating the Button
You can see from the example that building a single button is quite similar to adding a link. The difference
lies in the ability to reuse the button easily, as you see in this section.
To create duplicates of your button throughout all or part of a document, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the button with the Button tool and choose Duplicate from the shortcut menu to open the
Duplicate Field dialog box.
2. Click All to duplicate the button throughout a document, or click the From radio button and specify
a page range, as in Figure 9.19.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box and add the duplicate buttons to the pages specified.
Figure 9.19 Select the page range for duplication
Acrobat handles a wide range of page sizes. As a result, it may be necessary to move the buttons on
some pages and possibly make the buttons larger or smaller. To move a button, click on the button with the
Button tool and drag in any direction; to resize a button, click a resize handle on any side of the button with
the Button tool and drag to reconfigure the size.
Summary
Acrobat has a great set of easy-to-use navigation tools. Make sure to incorporate a navigation plan into your
project design. Using appropriate navigation makes it easier for users to work with your project, and you
can plan the most useful method for them to make their way through your document.
In this chapter you learned about using links, bookmarks, and buttons for navigation in a document.
You saw how bookmarks can be added and modified, and how you can create bookmarks from the
document's tags. You learned how to add a link and how to set a specific view that the user sees when the
link is used. Finally, you saw how to create and modify a button to use for navigation, and how to create
duplicates to easily control one type of navigation in a large file.
