Hello

Is there any way to make interactive quizzes in any of Adobe products ?

I saw on YouTube that it can be done with Adobe Captivate, but I would like to ask is there any way we can do it using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC ?

 

Or can we make those interactive quizzes using Captivate, then import them while still being interactive into Acrobat Pro DC ?

You can create interactive PDFs in InDesign and illustrator and use Acrobat to further refine the form options. You can search for Interactive PDF, Acrobat Forms, Acrobat buttons, to find some YouTube tutorials. Here is a link to a related discussion about using buttons to turn layers on and off, and another link to a sample PDF. Instructions are included on page 2 of both PDFs. Also look into the various form tool options available in Acrobat (Tools> Prepare Form).

Captivate can be used to create online forms and quizzes. Acrobat creates PDF files, to which you can add form fields in order to make them interactive. Converting from Captivate to Acrobat is probably possible, but you'll end up with a static PDF file, to which you'll need to add the fields and scripts all over again, so I would suggest deciding what kind of format you want to have before starting to work on it, or you might end up having to do it twice...

    On websties as I searched, I found and read that Acrobat forms do so, I tried but didn't get what I am looking for, maybe I did not understand well. I want it being offline in a PDF file, I do not want to share it online. If there are any tutorial articles or videos for how to create quizzes using Acrobat, that would be helpful indeed. I could not find something like that myself.

     

    And I am not sure what format I would like to end up with. All I want is slides that include text, with all text effects included, which is not a big deal. Then some of those sildes happen to be quizzes.

     

    So I think Captivate does so. I downloaded the trial yesterday but I am having techinical probelms with the installation. I'll see after it is properly installed. If I can manage with Acrobat all over without need to Captivate, then that is my first option.

    Be aware that Acrobat is NOT an authoring tool. You need to create the basic layout in a different application, like Word, InDesign, PowerPoint or maybe even Captivate, then convert it to PDF using Acrobat and add the fields to it.

    You can read about the latter here: https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/how-to/create-fillable-pdf-forms-creator.html
