Deleting links

To delete any links, just to follow steps below:
1. Select the Link tool or the Select Object tool .
2. Select the link rectangle you want to delete.
3. Choose Edit > Delete, or press the Delete key.

Just as simple as this. You have done.

Change the appearance of a link

First select any of the Link tool and double-click the link rectangle. On the Appearance tab of the Link Properties dialog box, choose a color, line thickness, and line style for the link. Then, select a highlight style for when the link is selected:

None - Doesn’t change the appearance of the link.
Invert - Changes the link’s color to its opposite.
Outline - Changes the link’s outline color to its opposite.
Inset - Creates the appearance of an embossed rectangle.

Note: The Link type, Color, and Line Style options are not available if Invisible is selected for Appearance.

Select Invisible Rectangle for Link Type if you don’t want users to see the link in the Adobe PDF document. An invisible link is useful if the link is over an image.

Select the Locked option if you want to prevent users from accidentally changing your settings.

To test the link, select the Hand tool.

Note: The link properties in the Create Link dialog box apply to all new links that you create until you change the properties. To reuse the appearance settings for a link, right-click/Control-click the link whose properties you want to use as the default, and choose Use Current Appearance As New Default.

Edit links

You can edit a link at any time. You can change its hotspot area or associated link action, delete or resize the link rectangle, or change the destination of the link. Changing the properties of an existing link affects only the currently selected link. If a link isn’t selected, the properties will apply to the next link you create.

Note: You can change the properties of several links at once if you drag a rectangle to select them using the Link tool or the Select Object tool.

To edit a link action

1. Select the Link tool and double-click the link rectangle.
2. On the Actions tab of the Link Properties dialog box, select the listed action you want to change, and click Edit.

Link functions and how to create links

Links are used to let you jump to other locations in the same document or to different page, to other electronic documents including attachments, or even connecting to websites. You can use links to initiate actions or to ensure that your reader has immediate access to related information. You can also add actions to play a sound or movie file.

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

   The pointer becomes a cross hair (+), and any existing links in the document, including invisible links, are temporarily visible.

2. Drag a rectangle where you want to create a link. This is the area in which the link is active.
3. In the Create Link dialog box, choose the options you want for the link appearance.
4. Select one of the following link actions:

• Go To A Page View - Click Next to set the page number and view magnification you want in the current document or in another document (such as a file attachment), and then click Set Link.

• Open A File - Select the destination file and click Select. If the file is a PDF, specify how the document should open, and then click OK.
  Note: If the filename is too long to fit in the text box, the middle of the name is truncated.

• Open A Web Page - Provide the URL of the destination web page.

• Custom Link - Click Next to open the Link Properties dialog box. In this dialog box, you can set any action, such as reading an article, or executing a menu command, to be associated with the link.

Tagged bookmarks

Tagged bookmarks give you greater control over page content than do regular bookmarks. Because tagged bookmarks use the underlying structural information of the document elements (for example, heading levels, paragraphs, table titles), you can use them to edit the document, such as rearranging their corresponding pages in the PDF, or deleting pages. If you move or delete a parent tagged bookmark, its children tagged bookmarks are moved or deleted along with it.

Many desktop publishing applications, such as Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Word, create structured documents. When you convert these documents to PDF, the structure is converted to tags, which support the addition of tagged bookmarks. Converted Web pages typically include tagged bookmarks.

If your document doesn’t include tags, you can always add them in Acrobat.

1. Click the Bookmarks button, and choose New Bookmarks From Structure from the Options menu. (If this option isn’t available, the document isn’t structured.)
2. Select the structure elements you want specified as tagged bookmarks. Ctrl-click/Command-click to add to the selection.

   The tagged bookmarks are nested under a new, untitled bookmark.
