Hi,

Hoping someone can help. I am creating an interactive PDF using Adobe Indesign CC. I am creating pop up boxes and I require to have links with in these pop-up boxes. However when I export (using Interactive PDF) the links don't work. They work outwith the pop-up box. Is it possible to create a link in a pop-up box? If so can someone kindly advise how, ideally in Indesign?

Many thanks,

Simon.

I had the same problem Simon, but the customer insisted I try and find a solution. The only way that I could get a link in a pop-up box to work was to add it later in Acrobat. Not ideal but it did work.

How exactly are you creating these "pop up boxes?"

Hi Bob,

I create a box that when clicked brings up the pop-up. I create this in Indesign using the Interactive field, using buttons etc. Going by the previous comment I don't think what I am asking is achievable. Are you able to advise a solution?

Many thanks,

Simon
