Reply To: Google Doc PDF viewer ignoring InD interactive elements

Jane,

I hate to break it to you but there is no way around your problem. When you create interactive PDFs, not all PDF readers will understand or correctly render the PDF. Google Doc's PDF reader is very very basic and will ignore the interactivity. Your only course of action is to tell people that they have to open the PDF in Adobe Reader so they can properly interact with the PDF.

This problem is even more severe on the iPad since there is not a reader that supports all of the interactivity of PDFs. Just last week Adobe finally released Reader for the iPad, but it is very basic and does not support interactivity.
