    Hi Angelo. Is it possible to create a Page Return? Let's say I was on page 35 and jump to Table of Content but then I want to go to that same page. Like when you're watching tv and jump to a channel and want to go back to the previous channel that it's not next it. Thanks for your tutorials, they have helped me a lot.

    Thank you for a clear tutorial to follow! Is there a reason why you chose "Go To Destination" button for the "Back" button instead of choosing the "Go To First Page" button?

    • @AngeloMontilla
      @AngeloMontilla  Год назад +1

      Great question. You could do "Go to First Page" of the Index was the first page in the doc. I think at the time my thinking was to show how to go back to an Index page in a publication, so I set it up as a bookmark. However the Go to First Page would definitely work, and much easier!
      Having said that, you can also set it up using Hyperlinks rather than button actions. This also allows you to jump to different pages within a doc. Take care!

    • @AngeloMontilla
      @AngeloMontilla  23 дня назад +1

      This will work in Reader but you can't edit the settings such as button functions, for example. You'd need Acrobat Pro for that.

    I'm not sure if you'll see this as a few years old, but I absolutely love your content - beyond helpful! One thing I can't seem to solve is that each time I make a button go to page or destination it only takes half the screen / a singular page to the new page and not to the spread.. so frustrating - any ideas on how to resolve?

    • @AngeloMontilla
      @AngeloMontilla  Год назад

      Thanks! When you export the PDF (Interactive) set the View dropdown menu to 'Fit Page'. This will contain the spread in a single page in Acrobat so when you click the index button, it'll show the entire spread not just the page you're targeting. Make sense?

      Hi Ana! The navigation buttons aren't supported for a web browser viewing experience. Any interactivity added from InDesign to PDF is meant to be viewed in Acrobat. That is why I always suggest clients or anyone you're creating the project for to open it in Acrobat and not Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.. Take care!
