Another Acrobat tool that you have at your disposal for creating navigation is the link tool. And you get the link tool by clicking the advanced editing task bar, and this opens the advanced editing tool bar and there’s our links tool and to use a link tool, you simply select it and then click and drag around the area that will define your link. And once you create a link, the create link dialog box appears and you can open a page from the document, open a file, open a web page or create a custom link. I'm going to open a page in the document. I'll open page three. This would come in handy, this link actually would come in handy if you created a table of contents for a document, one page with nothing but the page numbers of the document and once you select a page you can choose your zoom, you can fit the page to the document pane, open the page to the actual size, fit the width of the page to the document pane, fit all visible elements to the document pane, this would be the width of the document pane and it would alleviate any white space, or inherit the zoom of the current document. I'm going to choose inherit zoom and click OK. When I click my hand tool notice my cursor changes into a pointing finger and when I click the link, the page opens. Now I'll go back to the first page here and I'm going to delete this link and start a new one. To delete a link, simply select the link tool, and you can right click or control click on a Macintosh machine and choose edit, delete. Okay now I'm going to create another link. I could open a file, I could browse to a file and this would work only if the file was on the same machine. So if you choose this option and send the file to somebody else, send a PDF document to somebody else rather, you'll have to send the file with it. Or you can open a web page and here I've got an address on a web page, and I want to show you something. When you choose the open a web page option and select the hand tool, notice when you run your cursor over the link, it puts a plus sign up, which means it wants to add, append the current page with a web page. That's generally not the action you want. If you test your web link out in a browser, in other words open the page up in a web browser, the link will open up within the web browser. I'm going to select my link tool again, select the link and delete it and create one more link, delete it again. You can also delete it by pressing the delete key on your keyboard. I'll create a link and then I'll select custom links. And when I click OK, link properties dialog box opens and I have access to all of the actions. And I'll get into actions in the next chapter on interactivity. In the next lesson, I'll show you how to edit a link.
