Working on a project in ID and have been asked if there is a way to have scrollable text on the final PDF file. From all I am seeing the answer is no but thought I would reach out and ask.

 

Thanks!

No, you cannot make scrolling text in InDesign to PDF. 

Yes, you can create a PDF form text field in InDesign and export as interactive PDF. Form fields are not directly part of the PDF, to FDF , which are linked to their PDF.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
