New & Fun Adobe PDF Features

by Sasha Ayloush

PDFs are the standard these days for invites,Sample PDF Cover flyers, guides, instructions, and a plethora of other business documents. Why not spice them up a bit? Now this universal file-type can be enhanced with numerous new features. Here are just a few ideas:

  • Navigation menu: Add a navigation menu to lengthy PDFs for easy navigation between sections. You can design a home page listing all sections, and even create a menu bar at the bottom of each page of the document with “forward” and “back” buttons.
  • Email integration: Do you want your audience to be able to share the PDF easily? Add the email feature and with a click of the mouse, readers will be able to email the PDF as an attachment through their preferred email client. Another handy email feature allows you to create a form and have the results emailed directly to you – just like any web form. Check out the “Request Brochure” page on our sample.
  • Embed videos: There are two ways to embed videos into PDFs. One requires an internet connection, but keeps the actual file size down to an easily emailable size. The second method actually saves the full video file in the PDF. This method doesn’t require an internet connection, but the file size can get rather large, depending on how big the video is. Check out our sample for the internet connection-required version.
  • Page-turning animation: Make your PDF look like a magazine or book with the page turning animation feature. This feature will change the end format to a SWF file, but you can design and create the entire document in Adobe.
