      Hi all

      Can an interactive PDF document be completely finished in InDesign? I’m working in my company to make a bunch of interactive PDFs. I create them in InDesign and then export them to Acrobat where I have to set the tab order, set the text field font and color.

      Am I missing the ability to do it in ID? Since we are having to tweak these moving forward, I’d rather do it in the first program and not have to go through the reformatting process EVERYTIME I export.

      Thanks

      It can be completely finished in ID, but only so far. Tab order is possible, for example, in Object > Interactive > Set Tab Order
      However, the text field font isn’t as easy and currently requires a pair of third-party commercial scripts:
