To simplify the process of re-adding links to documents that have been updated, use the Import/Export References feature to copy bookmarks and links from an older version of a file, which has had the linking added, over to the new version, which does not have the required links, using a .CSV file. This file allows Publish to extract information from a PDF document and apply that information to a new, or different PDF, significantly reducing the manual labor to recreate these links.
Note: Unless you have previous experience with modifying CSV files, it is recommended that Process the changes as discussed in the “Process Changes in LINK in Publish” section.only the page numbers of hyperlinks and bookmarks are modified through the CSV. Other changes can cause instability and unexpected behavior
To export references, in the Import References pane, select the file containing the links and bookmarks.
From the Export References pane, select Export References. You will be prompted to create a CSV file. Remember the name you give this file; it will be required later.
