Learn how to create, edit, and use destinations in Adobe Acrobat to set navigation paths across PDF documents.
A destination is the end point of a link indicated by text in the Destinations panel. Destinations let you set navigation paths across a collection of PDFs. Unlike direct links to pages, adding or deleting pages within the target document doesn't affect destination links.

In the list of destinations, select the destination you want to edit.
