Hi Angelo, my goodness how much stuff is behind Indesign. So much stuff to discover and learn--and thankfully you're here. 😁

I really your videos on interactive design. Videos about interactive design in InDesign are not very prevalent so your videos are worth their weight in gold!

Hey Angelo i'm Angelina! Your tutorials have sparked new ideas I am so inspired to use at my workplace.

I've done research but still am thinking asking the pro is a more effective method - where do you upload your ePub's and digital catalogs, apart from testing through Adobe?

As in, what platform would you recommend to use for all the interactivity stay intact? I am looking into Isuu, what would be your advice?

Thank you so much, i've already watched about 5 hours of your videos within 3 hours, your work is gods sent.

@angelomontilla This is such a great tutorial - THANK YOU! I'm wondering if it is possible to create a second pop up window within the first? I'm doubtful, but thought you might know? In your example the pop up window (darkens the background) and shows the tote bag with description and price. Could a second pop up window be triggered from within this first pop up for more - details/other information/in situ photos/ etc. I really look forward to hearing from you. Cheers

Hey Angelo This works fine for one product but what happens if the close button is in the same place for multiple products??

[zinrduf]

Thank you so much!

Could you also tell if it’s possible to create a pop up info window that can be closed without the close button (by pressing the same info button that is used to open it)?
I’ve searched EVERYWHERE, but I couldn’t find any answer on this

Hi Angelo, thank you very much for your work and for sharing the information. I have a question: I have created a document in InDesign, but when I export it as an interactive PDF, the document shows all the windows from the beginning and they cannot be closed. What advice can you give me, or what am I doing wrong? Thank you.

[DavidTapster]

When it comes to exporting the file into PDF, do you need to use 'Interactive PDF', what about any other settings? Thanks

[valentinovaldez]

Great tutorial! Can you export this as HTML and embed in a website? Or does it have to be EPUB or PDF?

You really are a gem of a person in Indesign. Nevertheless You are a true innovator in helping others to master their Indesign Knowledge. Kudos to you!

Hi Angelo, thanks for this video. I was wondering if in order to use this same method for every product on the same page you have to make new layers in indesign for every popup? In other words, what will happen if you press the other ’shop online’ buttons in this page? Cheers!

Thank you my dear friend..we benefit a lot from you..but I hope for one thing..work on interactive PDFs for mobile phones not computers..is there a way to play PDF animations on mobile..thank you from the bottom of my heart

Hi Angelo, I have a question. Do you have any tutorials on creating navigation buttons on master pages.

i.e. if I have 8 tabs for chapters and a home button as well as forward and backwards arrows to navigate pages.

I know how to do them on normal pages, but would like to know how to have them still work on MASTER pages. 😮

[sarar]

thank you. very Nice toturial. I have a question. is that possible to have animation and audio at the same time? animation at the page load and animation at page load?

[Poopdeck]

I had no idea you could use in design for this. What else can you use the programme for? I’m a beginner

[lauramillan]

Hello Angelo, would it be very complicated to make pop-ups of a page that, for example, has 12 products and at the same time that brochure has more than 20 pages? Would it be a very long and tedious process or could something be automated? Thank you very much for your tutorials, they are incredible... and sorry for my English... :)

Hi. My top trigger button is still showing while the dimmed background and pop-up content is up, then whenever I tried to hide it, it's not working. How to fix this? Thank you
