Links in Nitro PDF Professional add a powerful interactive aid that makes reading, navigating, and using PDF
documents much easier onscreen. The links are inserted on the pages of your PDF documents and, when
clicked, can perform different actions, such as:
· Go to page in document.
· Go to page in another PDF document.
· Go to a Web page.
· Open another file.
· Reset a form.
· Submit a form.
· Run JavaScript.
Links work much like links do on the web—when you hover over them with your mouse the cursor changes
to indicate the link is there. When you click the link, an action is performed. You can easily format links in
your PDFs so they are invisible or visible, using a variety of styles.
8.2.1 Adding links
You can add links manually to your PDF pages by clicking the Link tool and drawing the outline of the link
on the page. Once it’s added you can edit its appearance and set action it should perform when clicked by
the user.
To add a link to a PDF document:
1. On the Insert and Edit tab, in the Navigation group, click Link .
2. On the page, click and drag the pointer to add the link.
3. In the Set Link Action window, select the Link action and set the link appearance properties.
4. Click Next.
