Frequently Asked Question:
Add links to a PDF
Question
How do I add links to PDF files?
I want these links to point to external files, or other pages in my PDF or even web pages (URL).
Answer
Adding links to PDF files is very straight forward. A link in a PDF is actually an annotation and is placed on top of the content that you wish to link. These hotspot links can be added using the following functions:
- AddLinkToFile -- add a link to an external file.
- AddLinkToPage -- add a link to a page in the same document.
- AddLinkToWeb -- add a link to a web page.
- AddLinkToEmbeddedFile -- add a link to a file attached to the PDF.
- AddLinkToJavaScript -- add a link to some embedded JavaScript.
