How to export interactive PDF to web

May 10, 2012 10:14 AM

Categories: Windows Tags: #web #pdf #interactive #wordpress

I used InDesign 5 to create an interactive document...I saved it as an interactive PDF.  I opened it on my computer...looks great, works great.  But I cannot figure out how to upload the doc as to the web and preserve the interactive capabilities.  I have uploaded it to ISSUU, Goggle Docs, and my wordpress website.  The result is just a read only PDF - no interactive elements.  Can anyone help me?

    Any service which converts the PDF into another format (Issuu, Google Docs, etc) will remove the interactivity. You should simply transfer the PDF to your website as a regular file, and either link to it or use an HTML <embed> code to display it. Linking is better as it will avoid error messages for people who don't have a PDF reading application installed.
