Uploading an Interactive PDF to Wordpress - Button Not Working

[marisolm13157330]

Hello, everybody.

I created a hashtag guide that I am trying to upload to my blog.

Hashtag List.indd - Google Drive

Here is the InDesign document in case anyone wants to take a look.

The problem I'm having is that when I export it, it looks great, the buttons work, everything is fine. And then when I upload it to Wordpress, when I click on the button to link back to my Facebook group, it says "File Not Found." I just don't understand why thin is happening!!

I also had to create a button on Illustrator and copy the image to InDesign because at first the button wouldn't show the text I was putting over the rectangle.

The images also look super pixelated. I've done like 4 documents and I always have this problem and have never been able to fix it. I did the "view" thing to change it and it doesn't help.

Can anyone offer some insight?

Thanks!!

It all depends on the browser you use to view the PDF: remember you are now not looking at the PDF in Acrobat reader but in a webbrowser. They behave differently. And that is the problem in a nutt shell. Some to many functions will not work depending on the webbrowser.

In addition to Frans' points, why are you creating a PDF for this?

You have a website, create a page for the information and put it there.

Hi Marisol,

As suggested above by experts, if you put an interactive PDF on website, many functions may not work depending on the web browser. A better way is to use the "publish Online" feature of InDesign. Please check these links:

Use Publish Online to publish your InDesign documents
