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.
