Adding and Managing Thumbnails
Page thumbnails are miniature previews of the pages in a document. You can use page 
thumbnails in Acrobat to jump quickly to a selected page and to adjust the view of the 
page.
When you move, copy, or delete a page thumbnail, you actually move, copy, or delete the 
corresponding page. You can embed page thumbnails in a PDF document so that they 
need not be redrawn every time you select the Pages tab. They can easily be removed and 
embedded again if necessary.
You can use the Acrobat SDK to:
Create thumbnails in a PDF document
Remove thumbnails from a PDF document
The object associated with each Acrobat SDK technology is shown below:
Adding and Managing Links
Links, or hyperlinks, let users jump to other locations in the same document, to other 
electronic documents, or to Web sites. You can use links when you want to ensure that your 
reader has immediate access to related information. You can also use links to initiate 
actions.
The Acrobat SDK provides support for the addition, customization, or removal of links 
within PDF documents. These links may be used to access URLs, file attachments, or 
destinations within the document.
The objects associated with each Acrobat SDK technology is shown below:
The 
doc
 object contains methods for adding, retrieving, and removing links. This is used in 
conjunction with the 
Link
 object, which contains properties as well as a 
setAction
 
method for customizing the appearance and behavior of a given link. 
In addition, the Acrobat JavaScript 
app
 object contains a property called 
openInPlace
which can be used to specify whether cross-document links are opened in the same 
window or in a new one.
