Reply To: Webstyle 'Hidden' pages in an interactive pdf

Thanks Sandee for your customary thoroughness! For some reason I wasn’t auto-notified about this post, so completed the job thinking that no one had responded. I more or less followed your suggestions, however: https://indd.adobe.com/view/fd31966a-d1e5-4a08-a33f-4b3467b4a0b0

However, I am still interested in how far your ingenuity stretches to propose an equivalent to website pages which can only be linked to and back from with buttons/hyperlinks. My client wanted to present a slim report (46pp in total), while hiding additional pages from the main structure which could only be linked to from ‘landing’ pages — pp 33, 39 and 40 in the report. But of course a pdf ‘tips its hand’, telling anyone reading that there are actually 85pp in total.

(You may notice that I based my interactive pdf’s navigation on InDesign Magazine’s former design, which I far prefer to the current iteration in terms of easy navigability.)
