      Hi

      I would appreciate if someone could provide me with a design of a drop shadow as close as possible to the one deployed on Wikiwand.

      Please see link below and click on any word in blue. I would like to use that design to deploy on pop-up window.

      Thank you kindly.

      Are you trying to create this in Adobe InDesign, as an interactive document? or on a web page?
      If you’re doing it in InDesign, what is your output? EPUB? Publish Online? PDF? Print?

        Although interested in the response, David asks very prescient questions.

        Mr Blatner, honour to be addressed by yourself!

        I will be deploying in on a PDF. I heard opinions elsewhere that it would not work etc, etc, but I want to give it a try, please.

        Thanks.

      This is tricky in PDF. In fact, almost everything interesting/cool is hard to do in interactive PDF these days. I made a sample document and it works well in html, such as in epub or in this publish online document: https://indd.adobe.com/view/0dee8741-79d4-4880-9236-5acb3fa9cc52

      I made the object show/hide with this trick: https://creativepro.com/showing-and-hiding-objects-in-interactive-pdf/

      The shadow is just an Outer Glow fx feature, with the color changed to black and the blend mode set to Multiply.
