Software to scan codes and create cross references

[IHQ22]

Good day everyone,

I was wondering if any of you know of a software that can scan codes and automatically create cross-references?
For example, clicking on 4.3.2.1 in a sentence would bring you to that section in the document.

Thanks!

Fred

Hyperlinks in .pdf documents accomplish this. Presumably, if you Adobe Acrobat you can create them. Never done it myself, though. I think there's a version of the AASHTO Bridge Design spec. with the hyperlinks already embedded.
