3.1.4. Add Links to PDF*

 

 

To add links to a PDF document, the following method is suggested:

 

1. At the Select Source Files step of FlipBook Creator, add your PDF documents. Click the Next button.

 

2. At the Page-level Settings (1) step of FlipBook Creator, you will see the actual file name for each page. Identify the file name of the page you want to link to.

 

 For a multiple-page PDF (i.e. PDF contains multiple pages), FlipBook Creator will create a FLP file for each page. Thus, you will see a corresponding FLP file name for each page. For a single-page PDF (i.e. PDF contains one page), FlipBook Creator will not create a FLP file for the PDF. Thus, you will see a corresponding PDF file name.

 

 

3. Going back to the Select Source Files step, double-click the PDF document that you want to add links, and the PDF document will be opened in Adobe Acrobat if you have associated the PDF extension with Adobe Acrobat.
 

4. Follow the steps below to add links to PDF document in Adobe Acrobat.

  1. Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool to launch the Link Tool.

  2. On the PDF, draw a rectangle area as a hotspot where you like to create internal or external link. Internal links are links to another page in the same FlipBook. External links are links to the websites.

  3. To create an internal link, in the Create Link dialog box, select the Open a web page option (refer to figure below). Click the Next button.

 

 

 

  1. Enter the file name of the page you want to link to (obtained from step 2). For example, if you want to link to a FLP page and its file name is  “page1.flp”, the link settings should be as follows. Click the OK button to confirm.

 

 

 

  1. If you want to link to a website, enter the website URL (e.g. http://www.flipviewer.com) into the link settings. Click the OK button to confirm.

 

 

 

  1. Choose File > Save to save the changes to the PDF document.
