Create In-Process Links

To use in-process linking, your assembly must be a standalone assembly, a sequence assembly, or a working assembly that has not been locked and lifecyled.

To create an in-process link, a PDF rendition must exist, and the document must be prepared for linking. You can prepare a PDF rendition for linking in two ways:
  • You can request that a particular document in the assembly tree be rendered and then be prepared for linking.
  • You can select a folder or the assembly root and indicate that all documents be prepared for linking.
  • You can specify the link applicability for new links to Global or Application.

A temporary PDF rendition is created when a document is prepared, and you can use Linking plug-in (PDF) to create any links. This rendition is only available in the assembly for creating and modifying links prior to publishing. Also, you can only create links in in-process renditions; any text modifications made in an in-process rendition will not be saved.

The standard Calyx RIM tool for creating and modifying links in PDF documents is Linking plug-in (PDF). While creating or modifying in-process links using Linking plug-in (PDF), if you want to create an internal link to a different page of the current document, you must choose the current document in the assembly tree as your destination with a different page number. Linking plug-in (PDF) defaults to the current document to make this easier.
