Thank you very much for this tutorial! I watched about 3 others and it was so confusing. This was direct, EASY TO UNDERSTAND, and straight to the point.
I started listening to this video and wondered "who is the guy imitating the voice and tone of Dusty Porter from the UA-cam Creators' Hub" podcast... and then I saw it was no imitator :)
This was good to learn how to place the text boxes etc...but what does go to destination mean? What does go to next state mean? It really didn't show what it looks like competed...I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear.
After you create the PDF, and the customer goes to fill out the form, the PDF uses a generic Roman Times Font. Is there a way to keep the same text that I have used in the document? Just say if I was to use Arial.
How were you able to make your typed text appear in the other box at the same time? I was interested in making a very personal interaction, where when someone types their name in a box at the beginning of the pdf, their name appears in a small box within the text on each page as if you are personally talking to them. Is this possible?
I have a question. I am trying to convert a text into a button and give it an interactive function to go to a certain page. When I export into interactive PDF it says that go to page function is not available on a pdf... Please help
Hello! I want to make an interactive document (buttons, mainly) but they doesn't work in whatsapp, is there anyway to make it work? Thanks for the vid btw :)
Hi Guru thanks for this - for some reason my text in the text field is centred in the box - can't see how to align it to be ranged left in top left hand corner - any ideas?
I love in design. This didn't work when I export it as a interactive. I hate acrobat!!!! But It doesn't even working with preview. What am I doing wrong?
Question: how can I put a blank in a interactive PDF where people could paste or upload a picture (JPEG) from the computer? Is that possible? Thank you so much.
Hello Dusty! Do you know how to align the text field on the center when someone types in? Mine is only typing at the left side and don't see any option that can make it align to the center. Needed your help asap! Thanks!
Im a beginner. I've tried to create a button which will go to the URL. I typed in the right URL, however when i clicked the button. It couldnt find the URL because it automatically insert symbol in my URL. Anyone knows why?
I have a problem that it doesnt work in some browsers. In chrome everything is nearly perfect, but in firefox for example. nothing works. whats the problem?
unfortunately due to the demise of flash, flash is no longer embedded inside of adobe reader. now the user has to download and install flash. so if you want your PDFs to play animated gifs you are out of luck. there is no way to do this anymore. your only realistic option is to export your project to HTML5. but of course, then it is no longer a PDF
Hi Technologyguru, Is there a way that you can change the font when filling out the PDF form? The default font when filling it out is Times New Roman. Can this be changed? Thanks.
Great job sir. I have a question for you, when I export my document to EPUB I notice that I can't add a note or make a highlight to the book ! But when I export a document form Mac pages i can add a note or highlight to the book. So can you help me to add notes to indesigning book? Thank you.
I am trying to make an interactive PDF ebook, one that has buttons I made in illustrator and will direct you to a certain page. I followed all your instructions, but I always get a text box before creating my PDF (interactive,) and it says that the button feature will be dropped
(Replying for anyone else if they missed it, not to you directly since your comment was a year ago).. File -> Export. Use the drop-down menu to select "Adobe PDF (Interactive)". You should be able to use the default settings in the export window and it should work just fine.. :-)
Is there a way to have text inside the boxes (text field instructions if you will) that way you don't have to have the directions on the outside of the text field? I would like the text to be inside the box, and have a person to be able to click on that field and type over the instructions.
Thank you for your videos! Is there by chance a way to create a text field or a drop down that would let me type in a name and then allow me to choose a color that correlates to what group that name would refer to? Essentially allowing me to type in the name and change the text box color based on the color that was then chosen?
***** That intro is a free template for adobe after effects, its already done and animated, you just have to add your logo or text and then render it. Nothing special really.
oh mate! This kind of wanky bullshit grinds my gears. How arrogant does he sound? ffs. Trying to sound authoritative and confident by adding in extra, useless shit-talk. then add the accent. uuugh
This might be mind-blowing but think just for one minute that MAYBE THIS IS HIS VOICE AND HE CAN'T HELP HOW HE SOUNDS. Just like you can't help what idiotic crap spews out of your fingertips.

I'm having the same problem!!
How did you import the pdf file onto InDesign?
Amaazing! Thanks a lot!!
Great Tutorial! Thx
I created and working fine with desktop, But not getting field in mobile
VERY helpful!
Pity you didn't show how to save the interactive pdf. When I save it as pdf the hyperlinks work but button interactivity doesn't.
(Replying for anyone else if they missed it, not to you directly since your comment was a year ago)..
File -> Export.
Use the drop-down menu to select "Adobe PDF (Interactive)".
You should be able to use the default settings in the export window and it should work just fine.. :-)

wisecou3 Yes, just choose the Text on A Type tool and place it inside the shape you want to type into.
Technologyguru77 Thank you very much! Very informative video!
Technologyguru77 This worked fine until I exported as a PDF. The text disappears after that, and only shows up in the .indd file?
Hi, How can Align Text Field "Text" ? Do you know? Please
plz make a video for this video ending animation/effects what software u used and plz plz plz make a tutorial for it
Thanks for the video! That music at the end is a bit loud and unnecessary.
Can you edit the line spacing in the text boxes? I´ve been trying in Acrobat but apparently is not possible. Dos someone know? Thanks in advance.
does it work on the ipad?
Mizmatch89 If you mean the PDF then yes it sure does
how do I make text on a button show up in the pdf?
Thank you for your videos! Is there by chance a way to create a text field or a drop down that would let me type in a name and then allow me to choose a color that correlates to what group that name would refer to?

Helpful thank you!
How can i change color for text in form?
You never go over exporting and using the file
this is just an overview, would have been nicer to go in more depth, but good start imo
Fuck, I can design a whole lot of apps with this which I might not crate with XD!
Curatare Pdf😮
you sound a bit like Ice-t from Rick and Morty haha
great tutorial!!!! is there any way to select the font for the fillable boxes?
I'd like a tutorial on that intro...
Me too!
Nice Video ;-)
nice video
My buttons don't do anything. I want my buttons to do things. Like... always. I like my buttons. >.>
Just like so

If anyone wants to know how he did the roll-over icons on the mountain page- he did another video for it ua-cam.com/video/QtKbisIoSkw/v-deo.html
too much post production fluff, see ya.
whats up with the ryan seacrest radio voice here? I had to find another tutorial because this guys voice was too annoying.
oh mate! This kind of wanky bullshit grinds my gears. How arrogant does he sound? ffs. Trying to sound authoritative and confident by adding in extra, useless shit-talk. then add the accent. uuugh

There's nothing wrong with his voice. This is way better than someone mumbling into a crappy mic.
Didn't you like the way he says, 'Goo-roo'?
It’s a free video. He’s doing us a favor. Instead of being a dick, try giving constructive critique so he improves next time..
Really? YOu make the button and then stop describing how to work with it?
Absolutly nuts... this video should be deleted
Just like so
