Interactive pdf on Adobe pdf reader not working in mobile version

[Vince o.o]

Hi,

I have created an interactive pdf from Indesign. I uses the adobe reader on my mac , my created navigation button for prev and next page works perfectly.

But when i uses the mobile adobe reader DC on ios, the interactive pdf does not work as intended.

Is there something I need to do in Indesign to make it workable?

Thanks any help is appreciated.

Acrobat Reader DC on mobile devices doesn't support all features.

Am i correct to say that interactive pdf is not meant for mobile devices as much? 

As im new to interactive pdf, is it meant for digital publishing more or for desktop version?

You can try-out other PDF viewer.

As i'm doing it for a client request. client hopes that the interactive pdf can work as intended for adobe pdf reader.

Not sure if anyone in forum know there is any other solution I can do to help him ? Or I should let him know it's not possible to make it in Indesign and is on all up to the reader capabilities.

I don't know what you use in InDesign.

I did the adobe tutorial that makes a previous button and a next button to navigate between pages.

This is the tutorial

Create an interactive PDF |

I tried on adobe reader desktop it works properly, but you still can also scroll to navigate the pages.
That's another problem which i'm asking in indesign forum to see if i can disable the scrolling.

The problem for me is on mobile adobe reader version, it does not work as intended as the desktop version. I'm just wondering if I made any mistake or is just not compatible between devices. As i will suppose if desktop works, it should be correctly done.

"Go to previous page" and "Go to next page" are not available in Acrobat Reader for mobile devices.

Thanks Bernd, I did check with the Adobe staff too that there is limitation for the mobile version.

Thanks for the answer.
