Your project has very little chance of success. Beyond very simple interactivity such as bookmarks or other links, "interactive" PDF is a misnomer. It is not very interactive at all and you should rethink this project.

If it really needs to work on all devices at all sizes, what you need is a website.

I agree with Bob. Even Acrobat for mobile doesn't handle much except for links for interactive PDF. It's just not a workable solution.

Unfortunately, there really isn't a solution that ensures a universally functional interactive PDF. It's a great platform for controlled, closed-loop deployment of forms, but certain interactive features, embedded video, etc., are too limited for broadcast reliability across all the possible devices currently in play. You'd be better off with a format that opens and functions in a browser.
