I have a 70 page report I have to link to about 50 exhibits at specific points in the report. How do I do this? I have never worked in a PDF document before.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0.0, Windows

The best way to handle this is with a menu that sends users to exhibits.
Thom Parker has a great tutorial on creating a menu.

Follow this link and review the examples.

You must be willing to invest some time learning how to writing JavaScript.

If you would like to link words in the document then click on Tools then Advanced Editing then Link Tool. It will allow you to create a box around the two items you are linking. First you need to draw the box around the first word, then right click the mouse and click on properties. A Link Properties box will appear, you will have two tabs, click the actions tab. In the Add an action click the drop down arrow and select "go to a page view". Next draw the box around the text you want to link the orginal text too. Click set link and then click ok. You may have click on tools and click select & zoom, then click select to test your linkage. I hope this helps.
