Create PDF Navigation Links

Post by Singularity »

Can Latex create a PDF file which contains the links in Reader's navigation pane (on the left)? In other words, it might show my document's setction/subsection/etc. heirarchy with clickable links on the left side of Adobe Reader.

If so, how can I set it to create them (my document is getting really long)?

Thanks.

Add the hyperref-package to your preamble, i.e.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}
Note that, with a few exceptions, this package should be loaded last.

Also note that this will cause all cross references and citations in you document to become clickable links, and they will be highlighted by a red frame around the word/number. You can disable the red frames by adding hidelinks as an option to the package, i.e.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
See the Hyperref manual for more details.
