About Actions
You can cause an action to occur when a bookmark or link is clicked, or when a page is viewed. For example, you
can use links and bookmarks to jump to different locations in a document, execute commands from a menu, and
perform other actions. Actions are set in the Properties dialog box.
For bookmarks or links, you specify an action that occurs when the bookmark or link is clicked. For other items,
such as pages, media clips and form fields, you define a trigger that causes the action to occur and then define the
action itself. You can add multiple actions to one trigger.
