I've created a new map series and I'd like to have some hyperlink capabilities in the exported .pdf files:
Links to .pdf for adjacent pages:
I was able to create dynamic hyperlinks that are available in the exported .pdfs that open adjacent .pdf documents. The individual pages in my map series have text elements on each edge of the map frame that use the N,S,E,W Page Names. Each page is exported individually and the .pdfs have the Page Name added as a suffix to the filename. The north text element is formatted with Internal File Path as the exported file path without the Page Name suffix (e.g., C:\MyFolder\MyFile):
<LINK url="Internal File Path<dyn type="page" property="attribute" field="PageName_N"/>.pdf">See Sheet <dyn type="page" property="attribute" field="PageName_N"
emptyStr="N/A"/></LINK>
Link to .pdf from Index Map:
What I have not figured out is if I can create a hyperlinked label that can open a specific .pdf from the overall Index Map, which shows the Index Grid. I have an Index Map to show where each of the 500+ map pages are according to the Index Grid. I'd like the grid cell labels (PageName) on the Index Map .pdf to link to and open the exported .pdf page (same as the adjacent page text elements). So, the label for the polygon in the Index Grid with Page Name A1 would have a hyperlink to C:\MyFolder\MyFile_A1.pdf. Is there any syntax that will display a feature label as a hyperlink?
I don't want to create 500+ text elements for the hyperlinks, nor do I want to do it manually in Adobe or another 3rd party software. Is there another way to go about this?
