Hi, i have created a very detailed map in illustrator CS4 (PDF file). Then i wanted to add hyperlinks, so i opened the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to put the links on. everything worked perfectly. Then i had to change something on my map - so i opened the PDF file in Illustrator and all the hyperlinks are gone. HELP. what am i doing wrong? how do i keep the links. (it is not the sort of edit that i could do in adobe acrobat pro - it is a design and move things around type edit)
thank you.
You would be best off replacing pdf pages in your existing linked pdf.
Edit your original Illustrator file and creating a pdf of that. Replace (don't delete!) pages in your existing linked pdf with your updated pdf. The links will remain and you'll have the updated image you need. It is also a better work flow to maintain your Illustrator file.
