Hi Chris—

I’m trying to create a custom portfolio for my company and we have old software and this is what I’m trying to do. However, the .nav file will not download properly on either my work computer or my home computer. I’ve tried it on both PC and Mac. I also tried different browsers. Can you re-upload the file? I think it may be corrupted.

Thank you!

hi marc,
no that is not possible.  the navigator system is a one-level hierarchy.

i’m sorry.  the navigator simply lets you preview all the files embedded in the pdf package… there is not a way to deep link into a specific embedded files pages.

if you have indesign, you can create an interactive pdf, with some navigation consistency, but again, this is still confined into the single pdf file.

Hi, I just have brief question? 1st I want to explain my file set up… I have 3 catalogue and each has a working interactive table of content. I made a portfolio to combine the 3 catalogue… Is it possible to have a navigation bar/table of content that when I click, it will direct me to the exact page of the catalogue.

Thank you, I hope you could have a work around in this one:)
