How do I show the anchor text instead of the link in a pdf?

[drwweaver]

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 7 to create a PDF.

I'm creating hyperlinks inside the PDF that link to Web links.

When the reader hovers over the text I want the anchor text to pop-up

instead of the Web link. How is this done?

For example:

If someone hovers their mouse over the text "click here for info" and

the link is "http://www.hyperlinkforinfo..com"

...I want "click here for info" to pop-up instead of "http://www.hyperlinkforinfo..com"Thanks!

As you can observe by a look-see at Acrobat's Link Tool dialog, there is no facility for adding a "tool tip" or an alternate text description.

Nor can such be provided upfront in an authoring file and migrated into the output PDF.

While a properly developed Tagged PDF supports providing Alternate Text description for the <Link> element this is focused to AT applications.

Typically, entered Alt Text for the <Link> element will not "display" on screen ala "tool tip" idea.

Keep in mind that the feature set associated with a PDF link annotation is not at all the same as what is associated with HTML elements.

PDF (ISO 3200-1) and HTML (any flavor or 'recommendation') are rather different creatures.

Be well...

What I do is I create a word doc first, which contains the link, then save as pdf... and ta da!  Links in the ebook!

Try this:

<a href="http://www.hyperlinkforinfo..com" title="click here for info">chapter two</a>

It's the title tag that you want.  This will give it that hoover over that you're looking for
