Creating hyperlinks
Once you’ve created destinations, you can establish hyperlinks between those destina-
tions and the source text or graphics in your document. If you have not created hyperlink
destinations, you can create unnamed destinations to pages within the current document,
or to URLs that you specify.
You can determine how the hyperlinks appear in the document and in the exported
Adobe PDF file. By default, they are surrounded by a thin, visible rectangle. However, you
can change the color, width, and style of the hyperlinks’ appearance.
To create a hyperlink:
1
Select the text or graphic you want to be the hyperlink’s source.
2
Choose Window > Hyperlinks to display the Hyperlinks palette.
3
Choose New Hyperlink in the Hyperlinks palette menu, or click the Create New
Hyperlink button at the bottom of the Hyperlinks palette.

For Name, type the name of the Hyperlink. The name you type will appear in the Hyper-
links palette.

For Document, select the document containing the destination that you want to jump
to. All open documents that have been saved are listed in the pop-up menu. If the
document you’re looking for isn’t open, select Browse in the pop-up menu, locate the file,
and then click Open.
