Question

Interactivity not working

I have a school project I am doing which requires interactive pdf pages

So far I have done the following but nothing has been working

Hyperlinks
Bookmarks
Buttons

I have tried setting destinations to files or urls of the files to be opened

I have been exporting as an interactive pdf but whenever I click the links the page will flash but remain on the same page

I have been doing trial and error with different methods including acrobat for 5+ hours and currently had little to no success at all

if anyone could help it would greatly appreciated and it would put my mind at ease

First, double- then triple-check that you chose Interactive (you probably did, but check.)

Second, solving one issue at a time, look at your Hyperlinks panel. Do you see green or red dots? Make the panel wider and post a screen shot.

Which reader are you using?

(It's only safe to use Adobe Acrobat Reader, preferably the latest version.)

By the way, which version of InDesign and OS do you have?

I am using IndesignCC 2017

whenever the pdfs open they open via IE

as far as acrobat goes I was using Acrobat DC from creative cloud subscription
