PDF files don't always have to be a dead-end. We've teamed up with Flipsnack to help you create the perfect interactive PDF!
Let’s face it, PDFs are usually pretty boring documents! But, we need PDFs in our lives, especially when working in an office. So, why not get creative and make your PDFs more interactive and engaging for your audience?
Well, if you’re looking for ways to make your PDF catalogs, magazines or portfolios more engaging and interactive, this guide will come in handy. Let’s start by defining what a PDF is.
Quite an easy concept to define, as we’ve all used it at least once in our lives. A PDF (portable document format) is a file format for capturing and sending electronic documents in exactly the intended format. PDF is one of the most commonly used file types today and PDF files are mainly meant for viewing, not editing.
We usually use PDFs to share documents, catalogs or magazines with our readers, customers, colleagues or friends. In this digital day and age, brands are in a constant battle for customers’ attention. And holding a customer or reader’s attention for as long as possible is no easy job.
Yes, PDFs can be quite a dull and boring format, but there are several ways to add a layer of extra interactivity.
When thinking about interactive PDFs we’re probably talking about digital catalogs, magazines, booklets or even presentations.
Adding hyperlinks is a great way to make your PDFs more interactive. Let’s say you created a digital catalog to showcase your latest shoe collection. Adding hyperlinks to your digital catalog is great for sending readers directly on your website. Such an easy way to increase traffic and sales on your website!
