Publication of Interactive PDF

Hi everyone,

How can I publish a multi-page interactive pdf that I prepared in indesign on the web. I want the reader to read it directly from the web page without the need for any pdf reader application on their mobile phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Can I actually convert it to html format without a 3rd party application? I asked a little too many questions.
Thank you in advance

So you want to have the readers to look at it in a browser? There is Publish Online the answer.

    This has nothing to do with InDesign. A PDF is a PDF. There are any number of ways to view them including a browser.

     

    I will only provide one caveat. Interactive PDF, beyond simple links is not likely to work anywhere but Acrobat or Reader on a desktop.

    Have a look at InDesign's Publish Online facility.  If you know how to produce InDesign publications, it is easy to implement. It produces HTML5 documents that can include animations and more and that can be opened on any device; computer, tablet or smartphone. You can also enable it so that users can download a static PDF version.
