Editing your PDF File

Creating Links from Table of Contents

We recommend setting up your 'Table of Contents' in your MS Word document before conversion (see above in "Preparing your word processed document for trouble free conversion to PDF"). The Graduate Information Literacy Program also run regular MS Word courses.

However, if necessary links from Table of Contents entries can also be created in the PDF file, using Adobe Acrobat 7.0. Use the following instructions or the Acrobat tutorial accessible from the Graduate Information Literacy Program's Online Learning page - relevant information to be found in module Level 1 (Part 2) > Create and Modify Links.

1. Open your document in Adobe Acrobat 7.0
2. Your document must be in Single Page View for the linking to work, to do this select View > Page layout > Single Page
3. Go to the Table of Contents page of your document
4. Select the 'Link' button on the Advanced Editing toolbar
5. The cursor will change to a cross
6. Draw a frame around the area you wish to link
7. The 'Create Link' dialog box will appear
8. From the 'Appearance Type' section select 'Invisible Rectangle'
   (Select 'Visible Rectangle' if you would like your link to be visible.)
9. From the 'Link Action' section choose 'Go to a page view'. Press 'Next'
10. Follow the instructions on the screen
11. Click the 'Set Link' button
12. Click on the 'Hand Tool' icon, the link will now become active
13. Save your document. This operation is critical

Repeat this process if you wish to create more links from your Table of Contents.

(Please Note: If you would like to link to a Web Site you will need to follow steps 1 through to 8, then in step 9 choose the 'Link Action' 'Open a web page'. 'Next' will then allow you to type or copy the URL address. Once you have done this press 'OK'.)
