You can add interactivity to your 

InDesign documents with features 

such as the Buttons panel, which lets 

you make rollovers and apply actions 

to your page objects. Choose Sample 

Buttons from the Buttons panel 

menu to view a set of predefined but-

tons you can use in your documents.
To create your own button, select any 

object—such as a text frame—and 

click the Convert Object To A Button 

icon   at the bottom of the Buttons 

panel. Then, choose an action from 

the Actions   menu in the panel,

interactive content within InDesign 

by opening the Preview panel

your document. You can also add
