Hello folks,

I am interested in generating clickable tiles on my PDF, how will I approach this specific step in creating interactive buttons? Is it possible in affinity?

Since Affinity hyperlinks require text, it needs a workaround. See this thread with hyperlinked but invisible filler text ... and the more elegant square version from @MikeTO seven posts later.

Thank you so much for that. I will play around it.

But what I am understanding from this I can only hyperlink to a specific page/location. However, I would like to be "hidden" to some extent, and the PDF to remain to the same page.

Can resource manager be tricked into it being hyperlinked somehow? To have all images on the same page, and have it "call" just one picture at a time. When a button or combination of buttons is pressed?

No, this can't be setup in Affinity, although the PDF file format generally seems to support more interactivity than just hyperlinks, for instance visibility.

Regarding "visibility" you could try as an Affinity workaround using layers of type Layer (capital L) and activate "Include layers" in the PDF export settings. In the resulting PDF such layers can get toggled to "show/hide" by the readers.

That is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for your help!
