Linking plug-in (PDF) Hyperlinks

Using Linking plug-in (PDF), you can create several types of hyperlinks in a PDF file.

The types of links you can create are limited by the source of the PDF file you opened.
  • a file system
  • a DMS
  • an in-process PDF rendition from Calyx RIM

When the source document for a link is in the same assembly as the destination document, the target can be an extract (bookmark), leaf, or document. When the source document for a link is in a different assembly than the destination document, the target can only be leaf.

If the link target is a native leaf or a bookmark within a leaf of a previous sequence, the link will resolve to the first page of the document regardless of which page or bookmark you have selected as the target.

When a link is created that crosses several lines of text, limitations in Adobe PDF require that multiple links be created. These links show up multiple times in the Link Inspector query, although they represent one link. Care must be taken when creating cross-references, or multiple page stamps may occur.

When a linking option is not available to you based on the location of the PDF rendition, the linking option is inactive on the application interface.
