kristkos Posted February 1 Posted February 1 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? Quote
thomaso Posted February 1 Posted February 1 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. Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1

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? Quote

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. https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/hub/how-to-make-a-pdf-interactive.html 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. https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-layers.html#control Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
