Create jumps to hyperlink anchors

If you create a bookmark or hyperlink anchor in an InDesign document, you can cause a button to jump to that anchor, even if it’s in another InDesign document. Use the Bookmarks panel and Hyperlinks panel to add anchors.

  1. Create a button, and then double-click it using the Selection tool  to display the Button Options dialog box.
  2. Click the Behaviors tab.
  3. For Event, choose Mouse Up or another option that will trigger the jump.
  4. For Behavior, choose Go To Anchor.
  5. Select one of the open InDesign documents, or click Browse and select the file.
  6. Specify an anchor that was created using the Bookmarks panel or Hyperlinks panel.
  7. Select an option from the Zoom menu to determine how the page is displayed.
  8. Click Add to add the behavior, and then click OK.
Note: If you specify an anchor in a different document, remember to export that target document to PDF, and use the same filename as the InDesign document, replacing the INDD extension with PDF. Also, store the PDF documents in the same folder to make sure that the links remain valid in Acrobat and Reader.
