Interactivity
Last updated 6/6/2015
You can change the animation order, have objects play at the same time, and delay animation.
1 Choose Window > Interactive > Timing to display the Timing panel.
2 To determine whether to edit the timing of Page Load or Page Click events, choose an option from the Event menu.
Page Load and Page Click appear only if one or more items are assigned to that event.
3 To edit the timing, do any of the following:
• To change the animation order, drag items up and down in the list. The top items are animated first.
• To delay animation, select the item, and specify the number of seconds of delay.
• To play multiple animated objects together, select the items in the list, and click the Play Together button to
link the items. Shift-click to select a range of items, and Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to
select non-adjacent items.
• If you decide you don’t want one or more linked items to play together, select them and click the Play Separately
button .
• To play links items a specific number of times or to loop them, select all the items that are linked together, and
then specify the number of times the animations play back, or select Loop.
• To change which event triggers the animation, select the item and choose Reassign To On Page Load or Reassign
To On Page Click.
• To remove an item from the currently selected event (such as Page Load or Page Click), choose Remove Item. If
the item isn’t assigned to any event, it appears in the Unassigned category, which you can choose from the Event
menu.
Dynamic PDF documents
Creating a dynamic PDF document is a good way to create an interactive slideshow. You can create interactive
documents with buttons, movies and sound clips, hyperlinks, bookmarks, and page transitions. You can also set up
documents in InDesign that can be converted to forms in Acrobat.
Create interactive documents for PDF
You can export Adobe PDF documents that include the following interactive features.
Bookmarks Bookmarks you create in the InDesign document appear in the Bookmarks tab on the left side of the
Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader window. Each bookmark jumps to a page, text, or graphic in the exported PDF file.
See
Bookmarks .
Movies and sound clips You can add movies and sound clips to a document, or you can link to streaming video files on
the Internet. These movies and sound clips can be played back in the exported PDF file. See Movies and sounds .
Hyperlinks In an exported PDF document, clicking a hyperlink jumps to another location in the same document, to a
different document, or to a website. See Hyperlinks .
Cross-references A cross-reference refers readers from one part of your document to another in the exported PDF file.
Cross-references are especially useful in user guides and reference manuals. When a document with cross-references
is exported to PDF, the cross-references act as interactive hyperlinks. See
Cross-references .
