Control visual
properties of links
When FrameMaker creates Acrobat links
from cross-references and regular hypertext markers, it sets
their properties – rectangle location and dimensions, border
style ( = none), border color ( = invisible) and highlight style
( = invert). TimeSavers/VisLinks (Link Controller) lets you control
all these settings globally: line style (continuous/dash), line
color and highlighting style (Inset, Outline or None).
Using TimeSavers' Link controls
(Links/General tab), you can automatically specify all the visual
properties of links available in Acrobat. Aspects that can be
controlled include box/line color (internal/external links can
optionally have different colors), line width, baseline offset,
link highlight style.
When displayed in Acrobat/Reader 6 or
higher, the link can be shown with an underline -- visible on-screen
but not printed. This improves the display (as this underline
property is displayed with a consistent line thickness), and
also prevents cluttering the paper output.
With SideLinks (TimeSavers + Navigation
Assistant), active cross-references can be automatically marked
with a user-defined symbol, placed in the margin or within the
text, reducing the visual "noise" associated with numerous
colored/underlined text links.
With TimeSavers + Forms Assistant, custom
links ("buttons") can have additional interactive styles.
