It’s rather straight-forward to create interactivity with InDesign. I’ve detailed three ways to export HTML from InDesign (included in the video above as well).Įach of these solutions is HTML at its core. How to create interactive HTML from Adobe InDesign
True responsiveness (some PDF reader do automatic adjustments on small screens)ĭon’t know how to (or don’t care to) write HTML? Not a problem. Remember the list of interactivity from above? HTML has all of the same layout capabilities that PDF does and has a much greater interactive capacity. It’s the language of the web page that you’re reading right now. Here’s what you can switch to today that supports interactivity To see the breakdown of an interactive PDF in action, and to get a sneak peek at the solutions that I describe below, you can watch the following video. The introduction of smartphones and tablets-almost none of which now support Flash-and a slew of new PDF readers, essentially guarantee that interactive PDF features will not work when your clients view your PDFs. *Video was supported previously in Acrobat and Adobe Reader, but it was dependent on the Flash Player (which no longer comes bundled with the Adobe apps). Custom page transitions (like flipbook pages). 
Button actions related to several of the above items. Embedded HTML content (like YouTube videos). Here’s a list of things that you can create with InDesign that don’t work in a PDF: Yes, millimeters, Not pixels! But you can also change the measurement unit to others like pixel or inch when you create the jsPDF object.It sounds like I’m exaggerating doesn’t it?Īlmost none of the interactivity in an interactive PDF actually works, even in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The ‘Hello world!’ will be placed 10 millimeters from both top and left. The second line is to add a text string into a PDF page with specified position. You can pass extra parameter for the constructor to change the file size and orientation here if you like. This will represent your PDF document with a default size of A4 paper and portrait orientation. For example, if you want to create a simple PDF file with “Hello world!” text, just use the code below. It’s very quick and easy to create PDF file with jsPDF. You can process a dynamic content and generate a PDF on the fly when user click the button (or whatever event that you want) Yeah, that’s right, no server-side script needed. 
Today, we’ll talk about cool javascript library jsPDF that let you create PDF using javascript only.
