Links...

Post by Puffolino »

...are not that easy to handle, got to quadrilateral forms by accident but could not modify the link area anyway because it needed to switch to edit mode as well :roll:
But how to rename a title of a link, it can be seen in the "Link panel", but when moving the boxes they are changed to "<None>" and I don't find "Title" in the properties.

BTW when changing the link box position, the link panel is updated very inaccurate - the "Action" column shows duplicate entries then.

Hello Puffolino,

Once you transform a link rectangle to a quadrilateral - you can then just grab the small dots in the corners and move them around with the mouse. While the "Create Link" tool is active - you should be able to do that:

Accessing the "Convert to quadrilateral is easiest done by right clicking on the link itself.

As for the "Title" in the links pane - I will need to check that with our devs!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Great, the "main" problem is, that you need to know to activate the link tool. This is obvious when creating new links, but not that clear when editing a PDF which include links.

I would recommend to add an icon "Link edit mode" (or something similar) in the Link panel - at least that's the place where I tried to find a way to edit the link rectangles.

Hello Puffolino,

Thanks! Indeed that button will probably be much cleaner if it says "Create/Edit Link", and having an option to activate the same in the links pane is also good idea! Will pass them along for consideration!

Kind regards,
Stefan
