Note:
Supported hyperlink actions include Go To First Page, Go To Last Page, Go To Next Page, Go To Previous Page, Go To URL, Sound,
Video, and Go To Page. Go To Next State, Go To Previous State, and Go To State actions are supported for slideshows.
Do not use the Go To Destination action to jump to a different article. Instead, use the Go To URL action with a “navto” format. See the
related section later in this article.
5. If desired, add additional button actions.
Actions are played in sequence. For example, if the first action plays a video and the second action displays a different slide, the video plays,
and then the slide is displayed.
6. To change hyperlink settings, select the button object, and then specify these settings in the Folio Overlays panel:
Display the content in a web view within the viewer. Deselect this option when linking to URLs such as itms://, mailto:, and
tel:.
Display the content outside the viewer in the mobile device browser, such as mobile Safari on the iPad. Select
Ask First if you want a prompt to appear when users tap the link.
Create links using the Hyperlinks panel
In InDesign, you can use the Hyperlinks panel to add hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are especially useful for text. If you want a frame to be a hyperlink,
consider using the Buttons panel instead of the Hyperlinks panel. Buttons are more versatile and more stable.
1. Select the frame or text that you want to use as a hyperlink.
2. Open the Hyperlinks panel (Window > Interactive > Hyperlinks).
3. In the Hyperlinks panel, choose New Hyperlink from the panel menu.
4. Deselect Shared Destination.
Shared Destination lets you name and reuse hyperlinks, but it’s better to avoid using this option in the DPS workflow.
5. In the Link To menu, specify any of the following options, and then click OK:
Tapping a URL hyperlink displays a web page (http://), an App Store application (itms://), an Amazon Appstore application (amzn://), or
a different article (navto://).
Example: http://www.adobe.com
When linking to websites, type the entire URL, including “http://.”
When linking to an iTunes URL, deselect Open in Folio in the Folio Overlays panel. Otherwise, a “Cannot Open Page” error message
appears when the hyperlink is tapped. Similarly, if you use an itms:// or amzn:// format to link to a store app, turn off Open In Folio.
A navto:// hyperlink jumps to a different article or a different page in that article. Type navto:// followed by the article name as it appears in
the Folio Builder panel. Use the Article Name value, not the article’s Title value. If you want to include a page number, add # followed by a
number. But keep in mind that the first page is 0, so adding #2 jumps to page 3.
