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.
