How to Link in Acrobat
Adobe Acrobat Professional allows you to create and modify PDF documents. You can add and remove text, rearrange pages, combine PDF files and create links in the program. You can use links to point readers to a PDF document or web page directly from the PDF file. The link may be set to open in a new or existing window. Hyperlinks are marked with a blue underline. The reader will need to have Adobe Reader to view the PDF and link from it.

I created a link based on the above mentioned steps. After clicking on "Set Link", I can only see a Black rectangle around the text I wanted the desired page to link to. But when I click on the text, it is not taking me to that linked page.
