How can I make the links clickable?

[lheijn]

Hi I have just downloaded and installed Primo PDF and it works like a charm. I am creating an Ebook and need clickable links. I have looked through the forum and have not found any information on this.

I would also like to know if when a link is clicked does it open a browser or is the web page shown in the PDF file.

Look forward to some replies.

Hi Lucas,

Essentially you really have to do nothing...

When PDF documents are created they will inherit any links from the original document.

I just test this by adding the www.primopdf.com link into a word document.

I created a PDF document using both Primo and Open-Office and they both had the link working fine.

It will open in a new window ( or tab page - depending how you have your browser configured ) of your browser - I have Firefox 2 as my default browser.

The only thing to be aware of is that you may get a security warning, and you can check-box an option to always allow the link to work without always asking. ( note - I'm using Adobe Reader 8.1 as my reader ! )
