Adding bookmarks and hyperlinks to documents

CorelDRAW lets you add bookmarks and hyperlinks to your document. You can apply these to objects, including text objects, rollovers, and bitmaps. For information, see Including hyperlinks, bookmarks, and thumbnails in PDF files.

Bookmarks

To create an internal link within a file, you can assign a bookmark to text or to an object. You can then assign a link to an object so that, when it’s clicked, it opens the bookmark.

Hyperlinks

You can also assign a hyperlink to an object. You can link to a Web address, FTP server, e-mail address, bookmark, or file. When the object is clicked, it opens to the assigned location in a appropriate application. After you create hyperlinks, you can display and verify them. You can also delete links and bookmarks. When working with text, you can assign a hyperlink to both artistic and paragraph text.
