Hi, I’m an instructional designer working on an eLearning program that requires designing an interactive PDF for a sales course. Can you suggest how I can design an effective interactive PDF course?

Agree with the video thing. And with so many PDF readers, you never know if they would support the video. The other day I opened the video in Chrome, but the video was reflecting only as a thumbnail. Couldn’t play it. Don’t want things like these to happen when you share them with the learners or clients.

You can add links, buttons, simple animations, and videos to the PDF. But I am against adding videos as it has tons of issues. Especially with Flash out and no playback control, it becomes an issue.

What are interactive PDFs? Sorry to sound ignorant but haven’t come across any yet.

James, interactive PDFs are documents that the user/learner can use with a high level of engagement. These include buttons, links, videos, and more. They are perfect for presentations or organizing different types of content in a single document. That makes the format a popular choice for trainers/instructors and instructional designers.

I am pretty sure you have seen already interactive PDFs. Did you never fill in a form in PDF format, where you could click radio buttons, checkboxes and fill in fields?
