The Multiple Cross Reference tool allows you to quickly and easily navigate between multiple locations in a PDF file. Standard cross references allow you to link 2 locations, but this tool allows you to link up to 10 locations. 

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 80 per color. 
  • 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.
• The maximum number of multiple cross-references is 10.

   • The cursor remains the same cross reference until you place 10 links or select a different link from the drop-down.
9. Click another location on the PDF file to place additional cross references.
10. View how many related cross references have been placed.
    • The mouse cursor changes to the next cross reference available after 10 are placed if the Auto-Increment box is selected.
    • The cursor will be the cross reference that was already placed if this option is not selected.
