This is an absolutely superb vdeo tutorial Angus - thank you! It baffles me as to quite why Adobe have to make it such a convoluted and general pain in the arse process to achieve something that should be a click of a button to add in.
Thank you so much! Even though Acrobat has been updated and the tools are in different locations, this was easy enough to figure out thanks to your tutorial.
Hi there! Great video, really easy to follow along! I was wondering if there is a way to make these settings 'locked', i.e. if someone else opens it in Adobe Acrobat Pro, they can't see or change the layers and attached settings. Thank you very much!!
This is a great tutorial, but I notice everytime i have to make a change on AI, I have to startover. Works great for small interactive maps, but not on a large scale. Either way thank you!
Hello!~ Thank you so much for your video. But I have a problem, I can see without problem the information on the other layers, but when I shared, other people couldn't see it
Can you do a video on creating custom popup tooltips, for segments of specific / selected text (with hover over effect), within a PDF, and controlling where the tooltip pops up (i.e., relative to trigger field / button location), using Adobe Acrobat Pro ? ?
Hi Khordz, the rollovers are most stable in Acrobat however I just tested them with some other PDF apps and they also work in Foxit and Nitro, with Foxit more Stable. They dont work in Javelin.
This is fantastic, but the interactivity doesn’t appear to work in Acrobat on an iPhone or iPad. Haven’t tried it on other mobile or tablet devices/OS.
Yes I'd be interested to know if it works in browser. I'd like to set up something similar for a financial document that can be shared online with stakeholders.
Fabulous video! It solves a big problem for us. However, has anyone figured out how to update the connection between the pdf and the AI doc? I've got about 25 fields I'm doing this with and don't relish having to redo them all in the .pdf when there's a change. Also, for some reason I don't understand I have one layer that came over without content, even though it is there in the Illustrator file. Everything else is working perfectly but that one layer.
That layer is probably on 'visible' instead on 'not visible'? Check if the content layer is on 'not visible'... Same problem here with updates. No solution yet...
For those wanting to get interactivity in a browser, try making it in Adobe InDesign - www.montilladesign.com/post/learn-how-to-create-interactive-rollover-buttons-in-adobe-indesign
Hi! I'm having a small problem - I added 4 buttons to my pdf using this method, and the interactivity all works fine. However, when I go to test out the document by opening it in Acrobat, all the buttons are automatically "on" and the layers are all visible at the same time, until I hover over any random button and everything goes to its proper starting position, instead of all being "on" and visible. How do I make sure when I open the pdf in a reader it starts all the buttons at their correct visibility settings, instead of all being "on" right away?
Hello! I want to make an interactive document (buttons, mainly) but they doesn't work in whatsapp, is there anyway to make it work without open it in other app? Thanks for the vid btw :)
