I have an Adobe PDF document that has about 150 pages. I want to hyperlink to page 52. Can I do that in Adobe? The help feature does not offer any help on this at all.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

Hi,

Start Acrobat. Open your PDF file. Place the mouse cursor/pointer into the toolbar menu. Right click to open the context menu.
At the top of the menu, click on "Advanced Editing" to open the associated tools palette.
Go to the location in the PDF where you want to set a link.
For discussion, let us say page 3 has the text "see page 10" and you want to link from this text to page 10.
While on page 3, with the link text in view, place the mouse cursor on the "chain" in the Advanced Editing palette. This is the Link Tool. Select it.
Now move the cross-hairs mouse pointer to the the text. Click and drag to draw a box around the text.
The Create Link dialog opens.
Decide which choices you want. "Go to a page view" will let you link to page 10.

Pause here a moment. Click on the Help button. This will open Acrobat Help to help information about links. Observe the what text is used for related topics. Make a note of this for future reference as Acrobat Help does address use of each of the tools on the Advanced Editing palette.

In the Create Link dialog, click on the Next button.
The Create Go to View dialog identifies what to do. Move through the file to page 10. Click Set Link button.

Done.

Back at page 3, click on the link you just created. It will take you to page 10.

Be well...

Do you want the PDF to open for all to page 53?

Do you want a link on a web page to open the PDF to page 53?

Do you want a bookmark to open to page 53?
