Linking Pages within a Document (Mimeo Digital)

Digital documents are often more powerful when they are interactive. Mimeo Digital supports PDFs that are built with interactive elements such as a custom table of contents or links from one page to another.

Here's how to set up interactive links in your native PDF file (before uploading to Mimeo Digital)

Create a Text Link

1. Open your document in Adobe Acrobat or similar PDF editing software
2. Select the text where you want to create your link and right-click 
3. Select "Create Link"
4. Edit the link appearance however you prefer
5. Under "Link Action" select "Go to a page view"
6. Click the "Next button. You'll see instructions asking you to set the target.
7. Scroll to the page you want to link to then click the "Set Link" button
8. Save your PDF and upload it to Mimeo Digital

Create a Link Area

1. Open your document in Adobe Acrobat or similar PDF editing software
2. Find the area you want to link from
3. Under the "Content" section of the Tools menu, select "Link"
4. Use the mouse to create a rectangular link area
5. Edit the link appearance however you prefer
6. Under "Link Action" select "Go to a page view"
7. Click the "Next button. You'll see instructions asking you to set the target.
8. Scroll to the page you want to link to then click the "Set Link" button
