A hyperlink is an active rectangular area, typically containing underlined
text, that leads to another location in the document, to another document,
or to a web site.
PDF Links can translate almost all Word document links to comparable
PDF links – including Table of Contents, Footnotes, Endnotes, Cross References,
and Hyperlinks.
Click the 
PDF Links button in the Nuance PDF
toolbar or use the corresponding menu item. This opens the Nuance PDF
Settings for Word dialog box, whose Links tab offers the following settings:
Generate Bookmarks, Links, Comments, Tags
in resulting PDF file
Select this checkbox to have changed settings applied to future conversions.
Footnote and Endnote Links
Select this option to convert Word’s footnotes and endnotes to PDF links.
Footnotes appear at the base of the page containing the note. Endnotes
appear at the end of the section or document.
Cross-Document Links
Cross-document links let you access other Word documents. Select this
option to convert Word’s cross-document links to PDF links – including
multi-document Table of Contents. Choose how the destination documents
should be addressed.
With Full Path Name
This will include the drive letter or volume
name.
With Relative Path Name
The path will be relative to the location
of the original Word file. If PDF Links cannot find a relative path for
a target document, for example if it is located on a different disk, the
file name will be kept without the path information.
Notes
With full path names, you cannot
move the files without breaking the links.
Relative path names allow you
to move whole document archives easily.
Always change target document
extensions to *.pdf
If this option is checked, all target files
of cross-document references will have the PDF file extension. For example,
if you create a link to an Excel file named "market.xls", PDF
Links will change the name to "market.pdf" in the resulting
PDF link. Check this option only if you want to distribute all your document
archives in PDF format.
Internet Links
Check this option to convert Internet URL addresses to PDF links automatically.
This includes HTTP, HTTPS and WWW addresses. The link texts and the underlying
URL addresses are transferred.
Cross Reference Links
These are jumps inside the current document. Select this option to have
these converted to PDF links. If you deselect this, the link text remains,
even with its formatting, but there is no active hyperlink.
Type
Select a link rectangle type. The effects are as follows:
Color and Style
Choose a color for the link rectangles, and whether the border line
should be solid or dashed.
Highlight Options
Use this option to control the PDF viewer’s highlighting method when
a user moves the cursor over links created by PDF Links. Select “None”
for no highlighting, or “Outline”, “Invert”, or “Inset” to highlight the
links.
Magnification
The How to fit target page to window selection
box presents the following options:
Inherit Zoom: Inherit
the magnification of the page containing the bookmark – the page view
zoom factor will not change if the PDF viewer window is resized.
Fit Page: Resize
the page to fit entirely in the PDF viewer window if it is resized.
Fit Width: Resize
the page to fit the width of the PDF viewer window if it is resized.
Fit Height: Resize
the page to fit the height of the PDF viewer window if it is resized.
Fit Visible: Resize
the page so its contents fit the width of the PDF viewer window.
