How can I select text in a PDF imported from Photoshop (place)?

Hello

I try to use InDesign to generate links in a file created by Photshop that must ultimately be in PDF format. This is my first time using InDesign. I originally placed the PSD himself file in InDesign, but soon realized that the rasterized text when importing. I read somewhere on these boards that import a Photoshop PDF instead allows to keep the text, and it's true. Clearly it's vector and I can zoom as much as I love and see that the text is smooth.

However, in order to create hypertext links, I need to select the text, and I am unable to do this - all the imported image is a solid block in a framework. Any ideas?

My workaround solution should which is not possible is to understand how to create links between a rectangular area. This would have the same effect, I think.

Thank you!

You can't dig anything within a file - even if the PDF file has 'real text' in it, InDesign treats like any other graphic image. Similarly, well that when you export to PDF, the placed file will appear again as a 'real' text, no interactivity in any PDF file is destroyed; creating thus the links in the PDF file will not help either.

What you do is not the correct workflow, but if you went too far, this path to backtrack, you have two options to create links that alignment visually with the contents of the file placed - you can use the link tool in Acrobat (easier, because once you're in the final PDF file text is selectable - then right-click to display the context menu with "create a link" at the bottom) or you can create an empty rectangular block in InDesign, brand, which frame a hyperlink (select the image itself, then add a hyperlink using the Panel), then place it on the text.
