Links

Links enable you to point to a web page or email, a specific page in the same document, or pages in other PDF files. You can identify a hyperlink by hovering your pointer over the document text. The pointer will change from an arrow to a pointing hand to indicate that the link is accessible. Simultaneously, a URL should appear to help you identify the link’s destination. Click or tap to open the link.

To add a link, either select text for which you would like to add a link or use the Link tool to designate an area requiring a link in the PDF. 

1. Select the specific text for which you would like to add a link. Alternatively, use the Edit tool to click on a text box and select the whole text block.
2. Choose Edit > Create Link from Selection (Command+K). Alternatively, right-click or control-click to access the context menu, which also provides the Create Link from Selection option.
3. When the Set Link window appears, enter the destination URL, destination page number, or PDF file on your hard drive.

Note: To view all links in a PDF, choose View > Highlight Links.
