Interactive Contents Page in PDF

[sophieb41078242]

Hi,

When exporting to pdf, how do I ensure that the page titles / page numbers in the pdf take you to the relevant page in the pdf?

I haven't created the contents page as a table of contents but used tables / text boxes in the design.

Many thanks!

Hi,

It would be automatic if you used teh Table of Content feature,

You can :

- in InDesign create hyperlinks using the Windows menu > Interactive >Hyperlinks to make the selected text 'jump' to the correct page

- in Acrobat create 'buttons' that create roughly the same result

Turn them into crossreferences - https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/indesign/using/cross-references.html

I would also suggest you have the word Contents (or a button shape with the word Contents on it) at the bottom of each page, hyperlinked back to the Contents page, so that users can easily return to the Contents page – they'll find that a useful facility.
