Link Duplication

We use PDFs for agendas for our City Council members to navigate meeting info easily. In the past, we had a button added to each page of the 100+ documents to return to page 1, with a table of contents so they could jump between topics. Now, the "Return to Agenda" buttons do not work on iOS devices. I understand buttons can be finicky to use on non-Adobe readers/browers, but links work perfectly fine in Safari. I attempted to create a header with a link, but can't seem to find a way to use a link in a header. I also tried the "Duplicate for all pages" with a link, like we used on the buttons, but that right click option is not displayed for links. Is there an easy way to duplicate a link between pages? I do not want to copy and paste this thing 100 times. I have access to Acrobat Pro 2020, and X Pro. Thank you in advance!

 

On this topic, I did find this post from 2017, but no mention of adding a link to all pages:

Hi,

Here is a script where you will be able to modify the parameters to suit your request.

var firstPage=1; // First page with the header
var lastPage=this.numPages; // Last page with the header
var toGo=1; // Page number to go
var topMargin=10; // Top margin of the header
var leftMargin=10; // Left margin of the header
var rightMargin=10; // Right margin of the header
var linkHeight=50; // Height of the header
//
for (var p=firstPage-1; p<lastPage; p++) {
	var cropBox=this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
...

Incredible. I'm a novice with creating PDFs. I simply need the button to go to the first page. Do I add this to the properties of a button, I suppose?

Hi,

No, you copy/paste this script in the empty console, then you "Select All" (ctrl A) and press the ENTER key of the numerical panel.

This script will not generate a field but a link area at the top of each page.

First of all, thank you for helping and writing this code! I see the notes, but I'm unable to get it to function. I entered the code in the box, per the screenshot, highlighted all on the document, but no change. Do I need to modify the code further for this to function? I'm not much of a programmer...

You pressed Ctrl+A outside the Console window, so it selected the text of the document behind it.

You must click within the text area at the bottom of the console, then press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+Enter to run it.

Beautiful. Now I can add a centered header that says "Tap the top of each page to return to the Agenda." Thank you all for the help, I was scatching my head on this for a while!
