Links in PDFs

Post by Jbleasdale »

Hi All,

So, I have moved onto making a PDF for my project. I have quite a Top Nav that's in decent shape now.

I am wondering how folks deal with links in PDFs. Just style them differently? Condition them out?

My issue is, I have many hundreds of links which work fine in the Top Nav, because the link to other parts of the project. But then they show up in PDF, and obviously I don't really want people accidentally clicking these links and opening a browser while they're in the PDF right...?

So how do you guys usually deal with a scenario like this?

Any insights appreciated.

Hi,

To prevent clicking a link in a PDF to open a browser and try to open a webpage i bookmark the link and let the link point to the bookmark.
When a user clicks the link in the PDF, the link will jump to the bookmark and stay in the PDF.
