Interactivity
Last updated 11/30/2015
When working on buttons and designing dynamic documents, select the Interactivity workspace.
Create a button
1 Use the Pen tool or a drawing tool, such as the Rectangle tool or Ellipse tool, to draw the button shape. If necessary,
use the Type tool to add text to the button, such as “Next” or “Purchase.
If you’re creating navigation buttons (such as Next Page or Previous Page) that appear on multiple pages, add them
to a master page so that you don’t have to re-create buttons on every document page. These buttons appear on all
document pages to which the master is applied.
2 Use the Selection tool to select the image, shape, or text frame that you want to convert.
You cannot convert a movie, sound, or poster to a button.
3 Click the Convert Object To A Button icon in the Buttons panel (choose Window > Interactive > Buttons). Or,
choose Object > Interactive > Convert to Button.
4 In the Buttons panel, do any of the following:
In the Name text box, specify a name for the button to distinguish it from other buttons you create.
Specify one or more actions for the button to determine what happens when the button is clicked in the exported
fixed layout EPUB, PDF, or SWF file. See
Make buttons interactive.
Activate additional appearance states and change their appearance to determine what the button looks like when
you use the mouse to roll over the button or click it in the exported fixed layout EPUB, PDF, or SWF file. See
Change button appearance for rollover and clicking.
5 Use the Preview panel (Window > Interactive > EPUB Interactivity Preview / SWF Preview) to test the button before
you export the document to interactive fixed layout EPUB, PDF, or SWF.
Add a button from the Sample Buttons panel
The Sample Buttons panel includes a number of pre-created buttons that you can drag into your document. These
sample buttons include effects such as gradient feathers and drop shadows, with a slightly different appearance for the
Rollover appearance. The sample buttons are also assigned actions. For example, the sample arrow buttons are preset
with Go To Next Page or Go To Previous Page actions. You can edit these buttons to suit your needs.
The Sample Buttons panel is an object library. As with any object library, you can add buttons to the panel and remove
ones you dont want to use. (See
Use object libraries.) The sample buttons are stored in the ButtonLibrary.indl file,
which is located in the Presets/Button Library folder in the InDesign application folder.
1 Choose Sample Buttons from the Buttons panel menu to open the Sample Buttons panel.
2 Drag a button from the Sample Buttons panel to the document. If you want navigation buttons to appear on every
page, add the buttons to a master page.
3 Select the button using the Selection tool, and then edit the button as necessary using the Buttons panel.
While editing the sample buttons, keep the following in mind:
If you add text to a button, remember to copy and paste the text from the Normal button state to the Rollover button
state. Otherwise, the text you add does not appear when the mouse rolls over the button in the fixed layout EPUB,
PDF, or SWF file.
You can resize buttons. If you drag a pair of Next Page/Previous Page arrow buttons, resize the first button, and then
select the second button, and choose Object > Transform Again > Transform Again.
