Step 3. Embed a link to PDF
From the three 'Link' drop-down options, choose the 'Go a page view' option instead. Now drag your cursor to draw a rectangle over the text area where the link is to appear. Upon drawing, the program will automatically pop up the 'Page Link' dialogue box. At the top-left, click the 'Action' tab then select the target page number at the bottom. This page number corresponds to the page where the link will direct you to. You can enter the page number by manually typing or by using the forward and backward navigation arrows.
Step 4. Edit Link’s Appearance
To edit the appearance of your link, proceed to the 'Appearance' tab on this same 'Page Link' dialogue box. Here, you will see several link properties like link colour, type, highlight style, line style, and line thickness. Make your desired choices then hit 'OK' to confirm and let the program insert the link to your PDF.
Step 5. Save the PDF File
