PROJECT-BASED SESSION

Want to make a PDF that does more than just sit there? In this project-based session, you’ll build a fully interactive PDF from start to finish using InDesign’s interactive tools. With step-by-step instruction and shared files, you’ll learn how to add functional elements like navigation buttons, hyperlinks, videos, and form fields—everything you need to create a digital document that’s polished, clickable, and ready to share or submit.

You’ll learn how to:

• Add buttons for navigation and actions
• Create hyperlinks to URLs and internal pages
