Adobe ACROBAT READER 7.0, Manual, Page: 42 / 262

Navigating with links
Clicking a link in a PDF document is like clicking a link on a website. Links take you to
another location in the current document, to other documents, or to websites. The PDF
document creator determines what links look like in the PDF document.
Clicking a link can also open file attachments, and play 3D content, movies, and sound
clips. To play these media clips, you must have the appropriate hardware and software
installed. For information on changing multimedia preferences, see
Setting Multimedia
preferences .
Note: If you have not downloaded the full version of Adobe Reader, you cannot play
media clips.
To follow a link:
1. Select the Hand tool .
2. Position the pointer over the linked area on the page until the pointer changes to the hand
with a pointing finger. (The hand has a "W" if the link points to the web.) Then click the
link.
Note: Some links work correctly only if the Automatically Detect URLs From Text option
is selected in the General preferences.
