Adding navigability to layers
You can add links and destinations to layers, allowing you to change the view of a
document when the user clicks a bookmark or link.
Note: In general, changes to layer visibility made using the eye icon in the Layers tab are
not recorded in the Navigation toolbar.
To associate layer visibility with bookmarks:
1. Set the required layer properties, visibility, and magnification level for the target PDF
layer in the document pane.
2. Click the Bookmarks tab, and choose New Bookmark from the Options menu.
3. Select the new bookmark, and choose Properties from the Options menu.
4. In the Bookmark Properties dialog box, click the Action tab.
5. For Select Action, choose Set Layer Visibility, and click Add.
6. Click Close.
7. Select the bookmark label in the Bookmarks tab, and name the bookmark.
To associate layer visibility with a link destination:
1. Set the required layer properties for the destination in the document pane.
2. Choose View > Navigation Tabs > Destinations, and choose Scan Document from the
Options menu.
3. Click the Create New Destination button or select New Destination from the Options
menu, and name the destination.
4. Select the Link tool , and drag in the document pane to create a link. (Because content
is added to all layers, it doesn't matter that you are apparently creating the link on the
target layer. The link works from any layer.)
5. In the Create Link dialog box, select Custom Link and click Next.
6. Click the Appearance tab in the Link Properties dialog box, and set the appearance of the
link. (See Changing the appearance of links .)
7. Click the Actions tab in the Link Properties dialog box, choose Set Layer Visibility, and
click Add.
8. Close the dialog boxes.
You can test the link by changing the layer settings, selecting the Hand tool, and clicking
the link.
