As you can imagine, interactivity takes static content in PDFs to the next level in terms of engagement, conversions, and actionable insights. Now I’d like to share some of my favorite use cases and what you can do with interactive PDFs.
1. Showcase your products and services.

By video-narrating your slides, you transform static PDF content into a dynamic guided experience.
Rather than hoping your prospects and clients read walls of text, you can explain concepts step-by-step in your own voice. Break complex ideas down into easily digestible video-narrated segments.

Interactive PDFs can give you access to PDF engagement analytics… if you use DeckLinks that is. Yep, you heard me right! Imagine instantly knowing when a customer opens your PDF file or which sections they focus on most. You’d gain first-hand insights to optimize content accordingly right?
As a B2B marketer or a sales rep, you have a vision for the ideal path a prospect or client should take through a PDF presentation for example. However, do they follow this path in reality? Tracking analytics enables you to find out.
You likely created your interactive PDF with a specific goal in mind. This could be to educate prospects or clients on a particular topic, prompt them to take a desired action, or guide them towards a conversion of some kind. Analytics empower you to understand how effectively your content achieves this goal.
For example, you can track:
- How much time recipients spend on different pages
- Which pages they viewed multiple times
- Which interactive elements PDF readers click
- Their pathways through the interactive document
- Drop off and exit rates
This PDF engagement analytics drive more informed, higher converting content. These behavioral insights can help you refine your interactive PDF to better speak to your prospects and clients interests and streamline their journey to conversion.
3. Stand out from competitors.
Even if a competitor provides similar quality content, an interactive PDF helps you grab more attention and engagement. The core advantage that online interactive PDF’ provide is the ability to create more memorable, effective experiences for your recipients. By leading with innovation, I can assure you that your company will stand out in any market.
4. Straighten your brand identity.

Maintain the same design and visual appeal across all brand touchpoints. This creates familiarity and amplifies your visual identity each time prospects and clients engage with your PDF file.
You can also customize content with more optimized experiences and adapt interactions based on the engagement data that I mentioned earlier.
5. Drive action!
When it comes to creating interactive PDFs, don’t just add interactivity for interactivity’s sake. A key advantage of interactive PDFs is the ability to prompt specific actions tied to your goals. You can guide prospects and clients along a journey, using visual and written cues to clearly show the next step.

Elements of Interactive PDF
Interactive PDFs incorporate dynamic elements that engage prospects and clients beyond static text box and images. When thoughtfully executed, these components create immersive experiences that educate, prompt action, and guide the audience to take the next step in their journey.
Here are five impactful interactive elements to consider:
1. Hyperlinks.
Adding links builds connectivity across your interactive document. These elements enable prospects and clients to smoothly navigate to external sites to learn more.
Some tips for adding hyperlinks:
- Provide external resources – Add links to carefully curated external sites for prospects and clients interested in diving deeper. But avoid directing them away from your content unnecessarily.
- Style links consistently – Use the same text color and underline approach for all hyperlinks so every PDF reader can easily identify them. Test visibility against your background.
- Offer alternate text – Describe the destination of each link using alternate text. This improves accessibility for vision-impaired prospects and clients using screen readers.
2. Video Narrations.
Adding a video narration to your interactive PDF is the best way to connect with your audience on a deeper level. Imagine having the ability to add a personalized video introduction to your PDF or narrate key information on each slide. Video-narrations grab the reader’s attention and help convey information in a more dynamic, memorable way.
You may be wondering – how do I actually add videos to my PDF? It’s quite straightforward with DeckLinks.
Simply press record and naturally narrate over each slide, explaining the information as you would on a video call. Speak conversationally, maintain eye contact with the camera, and use gestures as needed to bring your presentation to life. The end result is a dynamic, personalized video seamlessly integrated into your PDF.
Pro tips for video-narrating a PDF presentation:
- Engage the viewer – Speak conversationally, maintain eye contact with the camera, use natural gestures. Make it feel like you’re presenting 1-on-1.
- Explain complex visuals – Don’t just read the text word-for-word. Elaborate on charts, graphs, and static images to simplify complex data.
- Cite real examples – Relate concepts to concrete examples or case studies to clarify ideas and make them more memorable.
- Mind the pace – Speak at a moderate pace – not too fast or slow. Allow viewers time to absorb information.
- Watch verbal tics – Avoid filler words like “um” and “uh”. Pause when needed.
- Use a teleprompter – DeckLinks built-in teleprompter can help you smoothly video-narrate your PDF and maintain an authentic, conversational tone.
3. Clickable graphics and images.
First things first, let’s talk about why clickable graphics and images are so important. Think about it – when you’re scrolling through a PDF, what catches your eye? Is it a wall of text, or is it a stunning image that just begs to be clicked? I think we both know the answer to that one.
But how do you actually go about adding clickable graphics and images to your PDFs?
Here are a few tips for incorporating clickable graphics:
- Keep it relevant – When you’re choosing graphics and images for your PDF, make sure they actually relate to your content. Don’t just throw in a bunch of random stock photos and call it a day. Use visuals that support your message and add value for your audience.
For example, if you’re creating a product catalog, use clear, detailed images of your products that showcase their features and benefits. If you’re writing a case study, include photos or graphics that help tell the story of your client’s success. - Make it obvious – If you want your audience to actually click on your graphics and images, you need to make it crystal clear that they’re clickable. Use visual cues like buttons, arrows, or even just a simple “Click here!” text overlay. Don’t make your audience guess what they’re supposed to do!
- Add links to something worthwhile – When someone clicks on one of your graphics or images, they expect to be taken somewhere useful. Don’t just link to your homepage or a generic “Contact us” page. Link to specific, relevant content that will help your audience learn more or take the next step in their buyer’s journey.
- Test, test, test – Before you send out your interactive PDF, make sure you test all your clickable elements to ensure they’re working properly. There’s nothing worse than a broken link.
- Have fun with it! – Adding clickable graphics and images to your interactive PDFs doesn’t have to be a chore. Get creative and have some fun with it! Use humor, storytelling, or even a little bit of mystery to entice your audience to click. The more engaging your visuals are, the more likely your audience is to interact with them.
4. Trackable interactive buttons or CTAs.
When creating interactive PDFs, think about adding clickable buttons that let users take specific actions. For example, with DeckLinks, you can include a button to download related content, open an external link, or trigger some other event. Test out different interactive buttons with users and watch how they engage. See what they find valuable versus distracting. Then optimize based on those insights. An effective interactive PDF has just the right mix of elements to inform and engage, not overwhelm.
Pro Tips:
- The key is to track your CTA buttons’ performance over time. How often are people clicking that CTA button? Are they taking the desired action afterward? This data will reveal which buttons resonate most with prospects and clients.
- Aim to enhance the user experience without going overboard on interactivity with CTA buttons. Based on our data, thoughtfully customized and AB tested interactive buttons work best.
5. Embedded videos.
Want to really bring your PDF files to life? Consider embedding dynamic rich media content like promo videos or screen recordings right into the interactive document.
Seeing a concept explained through a short demonstration video can greatly enhance the learning experience. And having the media embedded means prospects and clients don’t have to leave the PDF document to view it.
This is especially important if the video is for example hosted on YouTube. You don’t want to lose the viewer’s attention to a YouTube algorithm and suggested videos, do you? With DeckLinks you can add YouTube videos to your interactive PDFs, making sure they don’t leave the page.
Test out different types of embedded media with your intended PDF recipients. Track how often they’re viewed to see which are most popular. Then refine based on those insights to create a multi-sensory experience that informs and delights.
Pro Tips:
- Compress large video files – Use tools to reduce video files without excess quality loss. This quickens load times.
- Offer playback controls – Avoid non-skippable videos! People want to stay in control. Let prospects and clients pause, resume, rewind embedded media for convenience. This improves overall experience.
- Test on multiple devices – Ensure embedded elements display and perform well in modern browsers on both desktop and mobile devices.

6. Content rooms.
Want to easily share relevant content with your PDF? DeckLinks allows you to create custom Content Rooms – your own sharable space that is tied to the PDF document.
These Content Rooms let you organize supplementary files, links, videos, spreadsheets, and more for prospects and clients. For example, bundle training materials, curate marketing assets, or provide product guides.
And you know what’s the best part? The entire Content Room can be shared together with your core PDF in one click! No more emailing supplementary files and links separately. And Content Rooms can be reused across multiple PDFs.
Content Rooms help contextualize your PDF by allowing your prospects and clients to self-navigate helpful related resources. Simply group your files and links into logical sections for a seamless learning experience.
Pro tips for creating thoughtful Content Rooms:
- Organize logically – Structure your Content Room to allow quick scanning. Group similar assets together so users can easily find what they need.
- Curate selectively – Don’t overload your Content Room. Include only highly relevant, useful materials. Too many random resources creates noise.
- Write descriptions – Give each resource a short 1-2 sentence explanation. This provides helpful context for users.
- Promote discovery – Mention your Content Room within the PDF to raise awareness of the useful materials.
- Update regularly – Revisit your Content Room to add new relevant resources. Stale, outdated content will be ignored.
- Track downloads – Use DeckLinks analytics to see how often your supplementary files and links get downloaded and clicked. Adjust accordingly.
7. Contact details.
Having your contact details readily available and clickable within your PDF removes friction for prospects and clients to connect with you. This encourages deeper engagement, referrals and conversions.
Embed clickable email, contact phone number, social media, and calendar booking links right in your PDF. This creates an always up-to-date virtual business card that your prospects and clients can easily access.
With DeckLinks, you can insert contact details in the PDF sidebar that’s always visible. Prospects and clients will appreciate having quick access to message, connect with, or schedule time with you.
Tips on what to include in contact details:
- Email address – The fastest way for prospects and clients to reach you. Use a professional address tied to your domain.
- Calendar booking link – Send prospects and clients your updated Calendar link to conveniently schedule calls or meetings. No back-and-forth emails required.
- Social media profiles – Add links to your company’s social media like LinkedIn, Facebook, X / Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social profiles so recipients can follow and connect with you and your company on social media.

Interactive PDF Ideas for Making Your PDF Presentations Stand Out
As a B2B marketer or sales professional, you know how important it is to create engaging, memorable content that drives results. And with interactive PDFs, you have a powerful tool at your disposal to do just that. But how can you make sure your interactive PDFs really stand out?
Here are a few tips to help you create interactive PDFs that truly stand out:
1. Start with a strong visual design.
First impressions matter, and that’s especially true when it comes to your interactive PDFs. You want to create a document that’s visually appealing and easy to navigate, with a clear hierarchy of information and plenty of white space.
Think about your brand colors, fonts, and imagery, and how you can use them to create a cohesive, professional look and feel. Consider adding custom illustrations, infographics, or other visual elements that help break up the text and make your content more engaging.
I highly recommend you check some of these AI tools for creating graphics and visual elements for your interactive PDFs:
2. Use interactive elements strategically.
Interactive elements like CTA buttons, hyperlinks, and rich media content can be a great way to add depth and interactivity to your PDFs. But it’s important to use them strategically, not just for the sake of using them. Use interactive elements to enhance your content and guide your prospects and clients through your document.
3. Make it mobile-friendly.
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It’s portable but that doesn’t mean it’s mobile friendly out of the box. More and more people are accessing content on their mobile devices these days, so it’s crucial to make sure your interactive PDFs are optimized for smaller screens. I highly highly recommend you use 16:9 landscape aspect ratio. 16:9 aspect ratio makes consuming content on mobile devices much more enjoyable.
Also, use larger fonts, contrasting colors, and simpler layouts. You might also want to break up your content into shorter, more digestible chunks that are easier to read on the go.
4. Hook with a compelling video-narration.
Video-narrate your interactive PDF to draw prospects and clients in and frame content around an intriguing story. Appeal to their emotions with vivid language. Weave in the benefits of your offering into a narrative that feels more like a conversation.
5. Make it ultra-visual.
Leverage rich media elements of interactive PDFs. Add the following visuals and interactive elements to boost engagement and recall.
- High-quality images
- Charts and graphs to simplify complex data
- Info-graphics to explain processes
- Product tours and video testimonials
6. Focus on simplicity.
Avoid cluttering interactive PDFs with excessive links, bells, and whistles. Guide users gently through key sections. People appreciate simplicity.
7. Personalize the experience.
Tailor content based on prospects and clients attributes like company, role, or location. Personalized content performs better across key metrics, feels more relevant and resonates stronger.
Divide your audience into specific personas or segments. This allows tailored messaging per group. For example, group users by role, seniority, industry or company size. Create customized interactive content aligned to each segment’s needs.
