Create Interactive PDFs and Digital Publications with InDesign

Interactive documents are no longer a luxury they’re an expectation. With the interactive tools inside Adobe InDesign, designers can create dynamic PDFs, presentations, and digital publications that include buttons, animations, navigation, video, and more.

This InDesign Interactive Training course takes you beyond static page design and shows you how to build engaging experiences that work beautifully across devices. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to plan, design, and export interactive documents that keep your audience clicking, exploring, and coming back for more.

What is an InDesign Interactive Document?

An interactive InDesign document is designed for digital viewing rather than print. It can include buttons, hyperlinks, video, audio, slideshows and form fields that allow users to interact with the content. Interactive PDFs and HTML5 publications created in InDesign are commonly used for presentations, digital brochures and marketing publications.
