    Please make it happen! This is litterally the only thing that keeps me from transitioning a lot of projects to XD. Interactive PDF with active page links or/and EPUBs would be a big step forward for XD.


    Hi Nitro Design,

     

    We completely understand your concern and requirements for this feature. I have checked the status of this feature: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/14403852-export-interactive-pdf-with-clickable-pageto-lin has changed to Feature Under Review which means team has already started looking into this feature.

     

    We would request you to please stay tuned to the uservoice for updates.

     

    Hope it helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    Also looking for this feature to be added. Really disappointed in Adobe for letting everyone wait on this very simple feature since at least 2016.

      PLEASE!!! Have it so that when you export XD as a pdf that it maintains the links. It still LOSES all the links when you open it as a PDF.
      Am I missing something? Please let me know asap.

        Seriously?  This feature is still under review?  

        This boggles the mind - more so, as one contributor highlighted, Adobe own Acrobat yet could not have the foresight to include this feature for PDF exports, while all other prototype/wireframe software does have this feature.  Surely Adobe would have known the need for this as well as the annoyance it causes by omitting this feature.  

         

        Has there been any word as to when the status goes from "Under Review" to implementation?

         

        Thanks

          Well last positive feedback adobe made was in august 2020. Haven't heard or seen anything since then. Which is definitely a disappointment for the same reasons you give. 

           

          Would have thought a giant like Adobe would move faster on such a feature, but seems like they are taunting us.

          So this common-sense feature has been in "under review" since at least May 2020.

            seems like this has been under consideration since 2016

            Hi there,

             

            Thanks for reaching out. We have already highlighted this to our Engineering team and the feature is under review, you will surely see an improvement in future releases.

              Have you looked at Publishing a prototype? They let you share working prototype, support comments, and work very well. What is it about PDF that makes you want to use it instead?

              Hi Dan,

              I go back to this topic.

              I have clients that want to see the design in a file, like a PDF that can be sent internally. Not published outside. So is there a way to export a desing in PDF with interaction? Meaninng that "tap" actions go the the corresponding page, etc.

              Hi Timop,

              Thanks for using Adobe XD and sharing your feedback. I have found a similar feature to preserve interactivity requested here:- Export interactive PDF with clickable "PageTo" links – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs. Please upvote this feature and share your comments.

              Kindly let us know in case you need further assistance.

              Thanks,

              Atul_Saini
