User Guide

Create web links from URLs

You can automatically create links in a PDF from all URLs or from URLs on selected pages. When selected, the
Create Links From URLs setting in the General preferences generates active links from text in all PDFs that you open.

Create web links

1

Choose Advanced > Document Processing > Create Links From URLs.

2

In the Create Web Links dialog box, select All to create links from all URLs in the document, or select From and

enter a page range to create links on selected pages.

Remove all web links

Choose Advanced > Document Processing > Remove All Links.

Link to a file attachment

You can direct users to a PDF attachment by creating a link in the parent PDF document that jumps to the
attachment.

Note: Don’t confuse file attachments with files that can be opened from a link. Linked documents may be stored in
different locations; file attachments are always saved with the PDF.

1

Open a PDF that contains a PDF file attachment.

2

Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the

navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click Open.

3

Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool, or select the Link tool in the Advanced Editing toolbar.

4

Select the area for the link.

5

In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next.

6

Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file

attachment, and then click Set Link.

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.
