I don't use interactive forms, but I was reading that the increase of Adobe sales during the lockdown was due to the wide use of interactive forms from remote workers. So, it seems it is a widespread use case.

Creating interactive PDFs with hyperlinks and input fields - radio buttons, checkboxes, text fields - are a big part of my regular work. Users need to use these fields and save their copy of the documents. It's the biggest feature missing for me in the Affinity suite. So for now, I'm still using Adobe InDesign. Please bring this feature to Affinity Publisher.

Please, add this. It's the only thing I use in Indesign. It's a sale point for me. 

Add interactive functions not just adding hyperlink, link Indesign add features like buttons, click, mouse rollover for, pop-ups, while we click some content it gets zoom,.

This will be very useful to create interactive PDF export,.

Can a MOD let us know if this is even being looked at please, and if any resources have been allocated, I see that it's been requested several times in the past four years and it would be good to have some sort of update/comms with the planning/dev teams. Thanks

Serif generally will not comment on the status of possible future developments, so I would expect the answer to be no, they can't (or won't).

If this isn't reserved information, may I ask you why this is made in PDF, and not on a web form?

Many are interactive workbooks for students (often in tandem with a webinar), as opposed to a survey or form where we need the responses, but would like them to be able to keep their own record for future reference.

I too would like to see this feature added to Publisher.  I thought v2 would see this as an addition but sadly I was wrong.

I have to revert back to using PPX9 for all my interactive PDF forms because Publisher has no such feature.

Listen to your users, Serif, they are the ones that have placed their faith in you and put you right up at the top when it comes to design software.

Many are jumping from the Adobe ship to the Serif ship but certain limitations are preventing them and me from ditching the old and embracing the new completely.
