Select Fixed to display the magnification level and page position that were in effect when you created the link.

Select Fit View to display the visible portion of the current page as the destination.

Select Fit In Window to display the current page in the destination window.

Select Fit Visible to display the page so that its text and graphics fit the width of the window, which usually means
that the margins are not displayed.

is clicked.

Create a hyperlink destination

Creating a hyperlink destination is necessary only if you’re creating a hyperlink or cross-reference to a text anchor. A
text anchor can point to a selection of text or to the insertion point location. Then you create the hyperlink or cross-
reference that points to the hyperlink destination. You can also create hyperlink destinations for pages and URLs, but
a destination isn’t necessary for those links.

Hyperlink destinations you create do not appear in the Hyperlinks panel; they appear in the dialog box that appears
when you’re creating or editing hyperlinks.

1 If you’re creating a text anchor, use the Type tool to place the insertion point, or select the range of text that you

want to be the anchor.

You cannot set up an anchor destination for text on a master page.

2 Choose New Hyperlink Destination in the Hyperlinks panel menu.

3 Do any of the following, and then click OK:

Choose Text Anchor in the Type menu. Specify a name for the text anchor.

Choose Page in the Type menu. Specify the page number you want to jump to and the Zoom Setting. Type a name
for the page, or select Name With Page Number to name the destination automatically based on the page number
and zoom setting you specify.

Choose URL in the Type menu. Type or paste a URL, such as http://www.adobe.com. You can use any valid Internet
resource protocol: http://, file://, ftp://, or mailto://.

Create a hyperlink to a text anchor

1 Select the text, frame, or graphic you want to be the source of the hyperlink.

2 Choose New Hyperlink in the Hyperlinks panel menu, or click the Create New Hyperlink button at the bottom of

the Hyperlinks panel.

3 Choose Text Anchor from the Link To menu.
