Cross References

TicTie Calculate version 5.x and 6.x. See our How to Check Your Version article for more information. 

The Cross Reference tool allows you to quickly and easily navigate between two locations in a PDF file.

Rules when using the Linked Cross Reference Tool

• Set up/Page Orientation: Make sure all pages in the PDF file are organized and oriented in the manner you want the final work papers presented.  If you place a linked cross reference and subsequently rotate the page, it will interfere with the integrity of the hyperlinked cross reference.  
• Only Cross Reference on the same document: Linked cross references can only be used within the same PDF file.  It is recommended that you close any other PDF files or start a new instance of Adobe® before adding cross references.
• The maximum number of cross references is 40. 
  • If you need additional cross references, you may right-click tick marks and click 'Next'. This will move you to the next tick mark placed in the document, regardless of page.

• Once a cross reference is placed in a document you cannot move the placement with the mouse cursor.  If you do, only the picture that is the Cross Reference will move, not the embedded hyperlink. If you do not like the placement of a cross reference you will need to delete it and replace it.

Adding Cross References 

1. Locate the origination point of cross reference (i.e. first item you want to link).
2. Select the Cross Reference option in the TicTie Calculate toolbar.
3. Choose the Size of your cross reference.
4. Choose the Color of your cross reference.
5. Select the Zoom Type of your cross reference.
   • This changes how the page is displayed when the cross reference is clicked. 
6. Select or de-select the Auto-Increment option.  
   • When Auto-Increment is selected, after you place a cross reference the next sequential cross reference number is automatically be selected and ready to be placed 
7. Click the drop-down arrow to select from the list of cross references.
8. Click to place the first link of the cross reference.
   • The cursor remains the same cross reference until you place the end of the link.
9. Click another location on the PDF file to place the corresponding (2nd) Cross Reference.
   • The mouse cursor changes to the next cross reference available if the Auto-Increment box is selected.
   • The cursor will be the cross reference that was already placed if this option is not selected. 

Click on the reference number to switch between the two locations in the PDF file that are hyperlinked.

Delete

Once placed, the cross reference appears red in the Cross References window when selected and a delete option becomes available. 

1. Select the cross reference to be deleted from the Type drop-down. 
2. Click Delete to remove the cross reference. 
   • Do not use keyboard shortcuts and use this interface to delete instead.
