Common questions
What an interactive PDF is and how to make one, then your team’s roles, form data, gates and phones.
What is an interactive PDF?
An interactive PDF is a PDF readers can do something with: click a link or a button, play a video, fill in a form or open a note. Many PDF apps handle these inconsistently, especially on phones. RELAYTO adds them to the web version of your PDF, so they work in the browser on a laptop or a phone. A reader who downloads it gets the plain PDF.
How do I make a PDF interactive?
Upload the PDF to RELAYTO and open it in the editor. From one panel you add hotspots, video, forms and buttons, place each one on the page and choose what it does when a reader hovers or clicks. You do not need Acrobat, InDesign or a developer, and PowerPoint decks work the same way.
Can I add a video to a PDF?
Yes: upload an MP4, paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or record a video message in the RELAYTO editor with your camera and microphone. Readers watch it without leaving the document. Audio works the same way, from an MP3, Spotify or SoundCloud.
Who on our team can add interactive elements?
The document’s owners and editors add hotspots, popups, video and buttons from one panel in the RELAYTO editor, and workspace admins create the forms. Viewers only read, and people with the comment role can also comment. Custom HTML, CSS and scripts come only from accounts cleared to add code.
Where do form submissions go?
Every submission is saved in RELAYTO, where you can search, export or delete it. Each form can also email the people you choose, save the person as a lead on the document they were reading, and send the answers on to your CRM or another app through a signed webhook.
Can we gate a PDF behind a lead form?
Yes, to capture leads. A document can ask for an email address before it opens, with optional name and company fields and your own consent text to tick, or carry a form on any page. The email gate saves every reader as a lead, and a form can too. A gate is not access control: to keep a document private, use a password or invitations.
Does an interactive PDF work on phones?
Yes. Hotspots, popups, video, forms and buttons work in the browser on a phone too, so readers do not need a PDF app. On a touch screen, a call-out that opens on hover on a laptop opens on tap.
Can we see what readers clicked?
Yes. Content analytics count the hovers and clicks on every hotspot, video and button, page by page, and you can download the counts as a CSV. Form submissions and leads sit beside them.
Which page should ask for the meeting?
Bring a proposal or brochure you already send, and we will show you which of its pages could carry a lead form or a button to book the call.
