This is what we'll create in this episode: an interactive PDF with web addresses, email, and a clickable WhatsApp button, complete with bookmarks for navigation. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. PDFs shared via email or WhatsApp should be interactive, with web addresses and contact information clickable. InDesign stores hyperlinks and exports them to PDF. Open the company profile file.
Open the hyperlinks panel from the window, interactive. This panel displays all links in the document; currently, it's empty.
Select the web address text on the contact page using the Type tool. Click the create new hyperlink icon. Choose link to URL, enter the address https cerdasinovasidigital.com, then select hyperlink character style so the text link has an underline. Click OK. Select the email address and create a hyperlink with link to email.
For the WhatsApp button, select the button frame and create a hyperlink URL to the wea.me address followed by the phone number. The entire frame becomes a clickable area.
Bookmarks are navigation lists on the left side of the PDF reader. The table of contents created with create PDF bookmark automatically becomes a bookmark. Bookmarks can also be added manually in the bookmarks panel.
Press Ctrl E and select Adobe PDF interactive. In the export dialog, make sure pages are set for single pages, view after exporting is active, and include hyperlinks and bookmarks are checked. Click export.
Open the exported PDF file. Hover the cursor over the web address, the cursor changes to a hand and can be clicked. The bookmarks panel on the left displays the list of pages. Test each link before sharing the PDF.
Done. We've used the hyperlinks panel, created URL and email links in text and buttons, understood bookmarks, exported interactive PDFs, and tested the links. In the next episode, we'll use fincange and grep to clean up the text. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report layout?
