Question about setting a link into a PDF targeted Doc

[netwrk219]

Hi everyone!

I have a standard topic I will use in all of my documents, regarding a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure. This topic will always remain the same and will be cross-referenced in many places in the documentation. What I would like to do is insert a link to take the user back to the page they were previously on. Is that possible in Flare?

I'll play devil's advocate. Given that the format is PDF, can't the user just use the PDF viewer's Back command, just the way one can use Back in a browser? Why make Flare duplicate functionality that the PDF viewer already has?

To answer your question, I don't know of a way to make Flare dynamically add a link back to the topic (page?) in the PDF from which one navigated.

Nita,

That's a very good question and It's my fault for not explaining more. Our documents are housed on Sharepoint. When one of our employees needs a document, they go to Sharepoint and open the document in a browser window (with limited to no navigation) and read the document. They don't have the option to navigate backward, just to scroll and close.

Glad you didn't think it was a dumb question.

I don't have much practical experience with SharePoint, so don't know what to suggest.

Anyone else got ideas for our friend here?
