Hyperlink Actions

You can make links inside your documents to perform different actions, like jumping between pages, downloading the document, printing and much more.

Adding hyperlink actions to your publication is identical to adding any other hyperlink to your publication. The different actions, like jumping to a certain page, are activated by adding different URLs corresponding to the type of action you want.

Adding hyperlinks to your publication is done in your layout software (like Indesign, QuarkXpress, etc.).

Example

In this Indesign example, I'm adding links to my contents section so my readers can jump directly from the contents page to my different chapters. I've selected the text, and added the URL: http://issuu.com/action/page?page=8 in the hyperlink window. This will take them to page 8 if they click on the link.
