Is it possible to add panorama/360 images in Indesign 2025?

[Mohammed_Darvish]

I have been attempting to add a 360° image or panorama to an InDesign file and export it as an interactive PDF. While it works with media content, I am looking for solutions to effectively incorporate 360° images into presentations.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Can't be done. In fact, PDF is an awful format for any interactivity beyond simple navigation.

there was a time, when interactive 360° content was mainly produced with Adobe Flash. the resulting swf files could be displayed inside of PDF docs.

as this isn't possible anymore, there's a plan B i often use, as i'm doing professional 360°/VR productions: you can install a local webserver hosting the folder your 360° content lives in as a real website. then you can use a simple web link inside of your PDF presentation to start the 360° panos from there.

for installing a local webserver there are various concepts. a minimal one is to use the krpano local servers (https://krpano.com/download/, you don't need to buy the software for using the small webservers of this package). another way is to use a convenient webserver app like https://www.mamp.info/en.
