Adding a link to a PDF document

You can add links to your PDF document. Links can make a document easier to navigate by linking to other pages in the document or by linking to a website where readers can get information from the Internet.

To add a link to a PDF document:

Step 1

Choose what you want the user to click by doing one of the following

If you want the user to click some text, select the text and choose Tools > Annotate > Add Link.

If you want the user to click a picture, choose Tools > Annotate > Add Link, and then drag the cursor over the picture.

Step 2

Choose the link’s destination by doing one of the following:

If you want to link to a website, choose URL from the Action pop-up menu, and enter the full website address in the URL field.

If you want to link to another page in your PDF document, choose “Link within PDF” from the Action pop-up menu, go to the page you want to link to, and then click Set Destination.

If you want to call attention to the link, you can underline it, encircle it with an oval, or enclose it in a rectangle.
