Fewest number of steps to create link from one PDF document to another

[gopher_everett]

Hello,

What are the fewest number of steps required to create a link in one PDF document to a destination in another PDF document?

Currently, as best as I can tell, creating a hyperlink requires the following 11 steps:

1) Select the link text
2) Right-click the selected text ; Opens right-click menu
3) Click "Add Link..." ; Opens "Edit Actions List" box
4) Click "Add..." ; Drop-down menu
5) Click "Go to a Page in Another Document" ; Opens "Add Action" window then opens Explorer window
6) Navigate to destination file
7) Click destination file
Click "Open" ; Closes Explorer window
9) Enter destination page number
10) Click OK ; closes "Add Action" window
11) Click OK ; closes 'Edit Actions List" box

Is there any way to eliminate any of the above steps (eg by getting to one of the above boxes/windows more directly) or is there another method for creating links which includes fewer steps?

By the way, for the time being, all the links I'm creating:
a) require only a destination page (ie not x-y coordinates, etc)
b) have the same destination file, so step #6 doesn't really exist since, when repeatedly creating links, the Explorer window displays the same folder as previously so no navigation is necessary.

One other question:

How do you Edit/Delete a particular link once it is created (eg if you realize you linked to the wrong destination page)?

The first part of that is how to specify which link you want to edit/delete. Should you hover over or select the linked text then right-click, or should you open a tool from some menu, or is there a panel or some other display which shows a list of all existing links where you can select the link you want to edit?

The second part is how to most quickly open the "Add Action" window (or some other Edit window) to make the change(s) (eg enter the correct destination page).

Thanks

Hello Gopher,

As it stands, I believe you have the fastest method available there to initially create them. If you are making multiple links to the same other document, you could Copy and paste the link, then follow the steps below to edit it so you only need to select another page, instead of creating a whole new link for each.

To edit any existing link, simply use the "Create link" tool on the home tab:

Then select any link and press the "delete" key to delete it, or open its properties pane (Ctrl+`) and select the "actions > edit":

And modify the page value for the existing link.

We do also offer a "Links pane" which can be opened from the navigation bar:

This is handy if you already have the properties pane open as it shows the links to allow selection, and if any text happens to be visible within their bounds, it will usually display it. As before, use the properties pane to begin editing your links.

Kind regards,

Thanks a bunch Daniel. That is just the information I was looking for.
