Auto-Link
Produced by Actino Software GmbH
Auto-Link automates the creation and enhancement of links and navigation structures in PDF documents. It is designed for document collections and production workflows where references, footnotes, bookmarks or other navigation elements need to be identified and linked consistently.
Based on configurable rules and patterns, Auto-Link can analyze PDF content and automatically create links between related information. Typical applications include footnotes and endnotes, internal document references, links to external files or documents, bookmarks and named destinations. This is particularly useful for long and complex documents such as technical documentation, standards, legal publications, reports and scientific documents, where creating and maintaining links manually can require considerable effort.
For accessible PDFs, meaningful navigation is especially important. Auto-Link can help automate repetitive linking tasks and improve navigation for keyboard and assistive-technology users. It can be integrated into automated PDF production workflows and used to process large numbers of documents consistently.
Typical applications include:
- automatic linking of footnotes and endnotes, including return links
- links between references and related sections or content
- automatic creation of links to files and external resources
- creation and enhancement of bookmarks and named destinations
- rule- and pattern-based processing of recurring document structures
- batch processing for large document collections
The goal is simple: turn static references into useful navigation – automatically and consistently.
