Multipage PDF with functioning hyperlinks to pages and live forms

Hi all,

I need to create a 10 page PDF with a table of contents that link to the individual pages. Some of the pages have scrolling form content that needs to stay. Having trouble getting both functions to work.

Does anyone have a fix?

Thank you,

Dydee

When you combine files that have the fields with the same name you'll lose data, as fields with the same file with the same name will ALWAYS have the same value. The solution is to either rename the fields in all files before combining them, or flatten the files, or use a Portfolio.

It is no problem if your authoring program can create a table of contents with internal links and convert the content and links to a PDF. MS Word, OpenOffice.org Writer and Libre Writer all can do that when properly setup to convert links.

Hi,

Not sure I follow. I have 6 PDFS, that were provided, that are forms with scrolling content. I need to combine them with two new pages into one PDF. When I combine them I get a pop up and the pages do not combine properly. "Any form fields that have the same name in the merged documents are now merged into one field" If you want the values in these fields to be unique, then you need to create a PDF Portfolio instead of merging the files.

So, when I use "Create PDF Portfolio" to combine it works, but the pages are individual and you cannot click through. Doesn't act like a regular multipage PDF.

Any thoughts?
