Overview

eLink Maker is an add-in tool for Microsoft® Word that assists in the creation of external links required during the compilation of eCTD documents.

By using this tool, the workload involved in creating external links is reduced, and it helps prevent setting omissions.

In eCTD compilation within the pharmaceutical industry, external links must be manually set by visually identifying the source and destination links between PDF files, using compilation systems or PDF editing tools.

When the author and compiler are different people, identifying the source links can take time, and there is a risk of errors or omissions in the link settings.

eLink Maker was developed to address these challenges. It identifies external link points at the Word document stage and provides link information that can be used in later compilation processes, supporting greater efficiency and improved quality in creating external links.
