Create a Comment Link

Use a comment link to make a placeholder for a future document reference.

1. Do one of the following:

   Condition	Action
   If you opened the PDF from a file system or DMS,	Open Link Stamper .
   If you invoked link editing for an in-process PDF rendition from InSight, the log on prompt appears after Acrobat opens.	Log on to maintain a connection between SmartLink for PDF and InSight. Type your  InSight User Name and Password, and then click OK.

2. Click-and-drag the pointer to create a bounding box around the text that will include the hyperlink.
3. In the Link Stamper dialog box, do the following:
   1. Select Comment.
   2. In the Link To drop-down box, enter an appropriate comment to remind publishers of the link that needs to be created once the target document exists.
   3. Under Appearance, specify the attributes for the magnification, text color, and bounding box.
      
      Note: If you invoked link editing for an in-process PDF rendition from InSight, the link appearance attributes do not appear in the SmartLink for PDF dialog box. The comment link is automatically created with blue text and a red bounding box. During the publishing process, the appearance of the link is changed to the link attributes defined in the Publishing Settings in InSight.
   4. Click the Link button to create a comment hyperlink with the attributes you defined.
4. Repeat these steps for comment link you need to create.
   The Link Stamper dialog box preserves the previously defined settings so that you can create multiple links with minimal or no changes.
5. To save your hyperlinks, do one of the following:

   Condition	Action
   If you opened the PDF from a file system or DMS	Click File > Save in Acrobat.
   If you invoked link editing for an in-process PDF rendition from InSight	see Save In-Process Rendition Changes to InSight.
