I'm doing a pdf ''purshase order'' and I want the customer to pay a deposit by clicking on, the customer would be directed to my secure payment platform. It is possible?

Thanks

Possible, but I think unwise. Most people now view PDF files in non-Adobe viewers (such as, to cut the list very short, Microsoft Reader, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Apple Preview, iPhone PDF viewer, iBooks, Android PDF viewer). Many of these may not handle the web link, and may give ABSOLUTELY NO FEEDBACK to say they haven't. So the user will believe they have paid, but they haven't. It doesn't take many customer relationship disasters to have the PDF form thrown in the bin, and a return to HTML forms, which are good at this.

Payment processors usually provide you with a bit of HTML for a PayNow, or something similar, button/link to be placed on your web site. This code will contains a link with some parameters,

Something like this:

"http://www.payme.com/something?product=thing"

Copy this URL into the "Open a Web Link" action in a button field on your PDF. It will do exactly the same thing as the HTML button.
