Fix broken cross-references in PDF files
It can be challenging to fix broken cross-references in long documents — 500 pages, for example. Resolving the cross-reference(s) in the source FrameMaker file and then generating the PDF all over again isn’t the only way out. With Acrobat, you can easily fix broken cross-references in the PDF itself. Here’s how:
- In Acrobat 9, click Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool.
- Double-click a highlighted cross-reference.
- On the Action page in the Link Properties dialog, select Go to a page view from the Select Action drop-down menu. Click Add.
- Scroll to the destination page for the link and click Set Link.

See http://bit.ly/1Xpucp for the Adobe Help article on creating links in PDF files.
That’s a really useful tip. I will try it out the next time I build PDFs.Is there some way we can fix broken links in PDFs?
