Creating and editing links using Acrobat XI

Hi Carilyn Jordan,

What version of Acrobat are you experiencing this in? Have you tried running the Repair option under the Help menu (Windows) to try and correct the issue?

Thanks,
Lori

When I’m trying to create or add link in my pdf (Using Adobe Acrobat Pro) when I let go of the mouse at the end of dragging out the crosshair rectangle, it does absolutely nothing.  I do not get any popup to ask me about creating a link.  What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone know how to create a link to a page that is referenced several times throughout the pdf document.  Example:  I have a medical chronology and throughout the chronology a certain medical record is referenced several times.

Can one add links to images programmatically, with other words using something like Javascript ? Typical example is where process design was done in 3rd party tool with associated meta data then when conveying to PDF would like the meta data to be a link from the associated process activity?
