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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Page transitions apply a decorative effect, such as a dissolve or wipe, when you turn the page in the exported PDF while in Full
Screen Mode. See Page transitions.
