Making an interactive PDF for on-screen display
Adobe's PDF format is used for all sorts of tasks, from delivering press-ready artwork to supplying manuals without the cost and delivery times of print. Very few PDF documents are created with much thought to the way they'll look when they're opened up on the end user's screen. Fortunately, if you put some work into things at the design stage and take into account zoom settings, typeface legibility and so on, you can produce a PDF document that is exceptionally legible on everyone's screen.

If you can't add hyperlinks into the pages while you're designing them, you can do this afterwards in Acrobat, but the InDesign hyperlink feature we show is particularly simple to use. The PDF behaviouroptimising steps at the end of this tutorial require the full version of Acrobat, but even if you don't use this, you'll have a digital document that's better prepared for on-screen use than virtually any other PDF you're likely to see.
