Now, in this example, I'm going to use a URL, and I'm just going to put the Adobe website here. I can use a URL, an email address, a file, a page, a text anchor, or a shared destination. Now, this allows me to define where this hyperlink's going to go. And we're going to come down here to our hyperlinks panel, and I'm going to click on the Create New Hyperlink button.

I'm going to go ahead and go to the hyperlinks panel, and I'm going to click on this Pluralist logo here. So when you choose that option, it's going to display the panels associated with that workspace.Īnd we're going to start off by adding some hyperlinks to our document. Now, what I've already done is I've reset my workspace to one that ships with InDesign called Interactive for PDF. Now, I'm beginning this video with the Interactive Elements.indd file already open on my computer, and we're just going to add a couple of interactive elements to this so we can see how this works inside of InDesign. Let's add some interactivity to a document and export it to an interactive PDF file. After producing the video with the Smart Player, upload the video and associated files to your website to view the video with hotspots online.The versatility of the PDF format allows you to create documents that contain interactivity, including movies, hyperlinks, bookmarks, page transitions, and buttons. The second way to use the Smart Player is to host both the video and the Smart Player on your own website. Both services use the Smart Player, provide an easy to use embed code, and a quick link for sharing. The first is to upload a video to a TechSmith hosting solution, such as, or TechSmith Relay. There are two ways to produce a video that uses the Smart player.

It’s important to note that videos with hotspots must be viewed in the TechSmith Smart Player. Lastly, to test the hotspot, click the Test button. Time: The Time option sends the user to a specific point in the video. If you don’t have markers in your video, this option will be disabled. Marker: The Marker option, sends the user to a specific marker in the video. URL: The URL option sends the viewer to the link entered in this box after they click the hotspot.

To customize this behavior and other settings associated with a hotspot, choose from the options below: By default, the video pauses at the end of a hotspot and requires the viewer to click to continue.
