Question

How do I only view 1 single PDF page instead of all the pages with hyperlinks

Hi,

 

I want to create a single interactive pdf page. So far I have got 11 pages, each page is a new clickable section. i.e on the home page if you click the box 'about us' It will take you to a new page (basically a duplicate of the first page with the 'about us' information on screen as well). But when I save it, it shows all 11 pages instead of just 1 interactive page. How can I fix this???

    You are need to work with layers. One layer = one page. InDesign doesn't have ability to show/hide layers in resulted pdf. Add in button settings layer visibility in Acrobat Pro after export from InDesign.

    Hi George, thanks so much for replying. So in Indesign I have added in every page as a layer on top of the first page. Are you able to explain a bit more about how I can create hyperlinks between the layers? I understand you said InDesign does not show/hide layers using hyperlinks so how can I use the buttons in acrobat pro to do this (I downloaded my Indesign pdf as an interactive pdf but when I open in acrobat its only the first page/layer)

    Thanks!

    I think what you are looking for is not possible.

     

    If I understand you correctly you want to have multiple pages in the document which are linked to each other but only display one page in Adobe Acrobat and when a link to lets say page 5 is clicked to only display page 5 without the rest. This is to my knowledge not possible.

     

    What you can do is create only one page in your doument and work with hidden areas.
