Created internal link, can't change its color

Post by Ted0987 »

I'm using 2.5.311.0 and created an internal link in a PDF. It created okay but I couldn't get it to change color. Played around with Appearance settings but it never would change from black. Is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks.

P.S. Should add, the PDF isn't locked, it's one I created and everything's allowed.

Hi Ted,

Thanks for the email - are you trying to change the colour of the bounding box of the link, or the text under the link? Could you send a sample?

Cheers,

Hey Will, thanks for the reply.

I took a closer look and I see now how I can underline the text or outline it and change its appearance, but I don't think the actual text color can be changed. For example, in the text there's a note that says "see here," and I wanted to make a link out of the words "see here" and change them blue. Is that possible in the Viewer?

Hi Ted,

Not a problem :)

I'm afraid not, from the sounds of it, this would require base content editing and this was not possible in the Viewer. You may want to give the Editor a try, as text Editing is a free feature:

HTH!
