My testing was on my Macintosh and my iPad (iOS operating system). I couldn’t test all applications or apps, or all platforms. Here’s an overview of some other common features in interactive PDF files and how they work. They vary widely is now much of the PDF specification they support, and messages like these reflect that fact. However, PDF is now an ISO standard, and there are dozens of different PDF readers on different platforms. In the old days, Adobe controlled the PDF format and most people viewed PDF in Adobe Reader for Mac and Windows. Preview doesn’t appear to be fully compatible with PDF forms created with PC’s. All looks OK, except two of the fields can’t be typed in…. I have been sent some PDF forms to fill in, and I did so in Preview.

When I export to PDF, and the PDF opens on my desktop it shows the videos, as soon as I email it or transfer it to a different computer the videos no longer show up. I created a document in InDesign CS4 that includes videos ( MOV). Unfortunately, on user forums you often see messages like these: And PDFs can be viewed on virtually any platform?Macintosh, Windows, Unix, as well as tablets and smartphones. It’s popular because it’s easy to produce, and it maintains the appearance of a print document. Interactive PDF has been around for several years and can be produced by most recent versions of InDesign. While EPUB and the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite draw a lot of attention, the most popular kind of digital publishing produced in Adobe InDesign is interactive PDF.
