Linking plug-in (PDF) and Linking add-in (Word)

Linking plug-in (PDF) and Linking add-in (Word) enable you to create hyperlinks in documents that target pages or bookmarks in the same document, in external documents, or in Calyx RIM assemblies.

When creating a hyperlink, you can specify attributes for the link, such as the text color and the line width and color of the bounding box. You can also open the target document for an external link to determine the destination page in the target document.

Linking plug-in (PDF)

Linking plug-in (PDF) enables you to create and modify hyperlinks during each stage of the publication process: authoring, in-process, and post-publishing. Each stage uses Linking plug-in (PDF) in its own way:
  • In the authoring stage, the Linking plug-in (PDF) Acrobat plug-in enables you to create links in or between documents on file systems or DMS repositories. The Linking plug-in (PDF) Acrobat plug-in also supports comments, link quality control, keyword linking, and bookmark linking.
  • In in-process linking, the Linking plug-in (PDF) Acrobat plug-in enables you to create or update links in a document in Calyx RIM by editing a temporary PDF rendition. Links are targeted directly to the assembly tree. The Linking plug-in (PDF) Acrobat plug-in also supports comments, keyword linking, and bookmark linking.
  • In post-publishing linking, the Linking plug-in (PDF) Acrobat plug-in enables you to create or update bookmarks on a final published PDF. Import/export to Microsoft Excel and bookmark linking are supported. Starting with Calyx RIM Linking plug-in (PDF) 1.8, the create and update support for post-publishing links is discontinued.

Linking add-in (Word)

Linking add-in (Word) is a plug-in for Microsoft Word that enables you to create links in or between Word documents on file systems or DMS repositories. It also supports comments, keyword linking, version linking, and bookmark linking.
Note: Linking plug-in (PDF) or Linking add-in (Word) must be installed on your local machine. A successful installation creates new toolbar icons in either Acrobat or Word.
