How to convert InDesign PDF to Html using C#.

Scenario:

I have designed a PDF using  InDesign and it has popup(its kind of Model dialog, over the PDF). 

Problem:

The PDF and Intractive dialogs working in ADOBE READER. But if i trying to open in browser view it will not open any dialog and animations.

So that I'm trying to export the PDF to HTML for web/Mobile view. 

Could you please help me out to achive my use case? Thanks advance.

Correct answer Jeffrey_Smith

Yes please. I'm more interested to see.


Unfortunately after testing the checkbox and javascript method, it seems to work in Chrome, but no other browser and default pdf viewer. Thus making this suggestion not valid.

As noted already, this makes zero sense to me. Learn WordPress and create a proper website.

The intention is not to create a website. We are trying to open the InDesign PDFs on Web/Mobile but most of the scripting functionalities not working. Hence we are thinking about some alternative similar way like in5.   

I have attached the sample PDF. The pdf can be opened in the web browser(chrome/Edge, etc..) but the interactive designs functionalities not working but all the functionality working in Adobe reader as expected. 

 

Please advise.

Have you tried Publish Online for presenting interactive documents?

This workflow seems laborious, it might be worth looking at creating a web app from InDesign using the InDesign plugin (at extra cost) in5" https://ajarproductions.com

I'm not sure exatly what you are after but InDesign is not the best Adobe product for producing a webpage.
