linking in a pdf

[robertf8888]

is it possible to generate a pdf from an excel spreadsheet that has permanent links in the pdf. (eg. when i click on a product on my menu it links to a specific sell in the pdf, then link "back to the menu". i would like this to be permanent on the pdf .)

for instance , my excel spreadsheet has live data feeds so that the contents of certain cells can chang

e daily.  when I convert to a saved pdf I would like the person reading the pdf to be able to click on a cell which would link it to another cell within the pdf.

and then have a cell "Back to Menu"  so that clicking on this cell would bring the reader back to the main menu.

my pdf file has up to 12 pages so it would be much easier to navigate.

also I would like to do this on a permanent basis  so that everytime I re-save the pdf the links are remembered.

thank you

Yes, you can create links to a specific point in the file. Just use the Add Link tool and you'll see how it works. It's pretty simple.

There are no "cells" in a PDF file.

I don't know for sure what you mean by "re-save"... If you mean that you generate a new PDF file from Excel, then no, not directly.

The way to maintain the links in that situation is to use the Replace Pages command on the old file and insert the new pages you created over the old ones.

The links will then remain in place.

Thank you

I am new to Adobe so thank you for your patience

So I have updated some of the cells in my excel spreadsheet and created a new pdf.

Do I save it first under a different name?

I don't see the replace pages command in the older pdf file

Not sure if I am looking in right spot

Thanks

The file name for the new PDF is up to you. It usually prompts you to enter a file name when you create it.

The Replace Pages command is under Tools - Pages (or Organize Pages, if you have Acrobat DC).

Thank you

I think I might have figured it out

I tried the replace pages and it kept the links

Another question. Please

I am using approx 24 " back to menu" cells

Where you click and the cell and it returns you to the main menu in page 1

I am having problems when linking the main menu multiple times

For example I linked the whole outline of the menu to each "back to menu" cell

What happened is the products or destinations under the menu were over ridden

Also

Is there a more efficient way t do the replace pagEs

With 1 click

I have several PDFs

That I replace daily

Thank you
