Destinations
A destination is the end point of a link and is represented by text in the Destinations panel. Destinations enable you to
set navigation paths across a collection of PDFs. Linking to a destination is recommended when linking across
documents because, unlike a link to a page, a link to a destination is not affected by the addition or deletion of pages
within the target document.
View and manage destinations
Manage destinations from the Destinations panel in the navigation pane.
View destinations
❖
Choose View > Navigation Panels >
Destinations. All destinations are automatically scanned.
Sort the destinations list
❖
Do one of the following:
•
To sort destination names alphabetically, click the Name label at the top of the Destinations panel.
•
To sort destinations by page number, click the Page label at the top of the Destinations panel.
Change or delete a destination
❖
In the Destinations panel, right-click the destination, and choose a command:
•
To move to the target location, choose Go To Destination.
•
To delete the destination, choose Delete.
•
To reset the target of the destination to the page displayed, choose Set Destination.
•
To give the destination a different name, choose Rename.
Create and link a destination
You can create a link to a destination in the same or another PDF.
1 In the target document (destination), choose View > Navigation Panels > Destinations. If the document already
includes a destination that you want to link to, skip to step 5.
2 Navigate to the location where you want to create a destination, and set the desired view.
3 In the Destinations panel, choose New Destination from the options menu
, and name the destination.
4 Save the target document.
5 In the source document (where you want to create the link), choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Link tool
, and
drag a rectangle to specify a location for the link.
6 In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next.
7 In the target document, in the Destinations panel, double-click the destination.
8 Save the source document.
Add an attachment
You can attach PDFs and other types of files to a PDF. If you move the PDF to a new location, the attachments move
with it. Attachments may include links to or from the parent document or to other attachments.
