Join Keith Gilbert for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating an email with hyperlinks, part of Adobe Digital Publishing Suite: Interactive Techniques.
- If all that you want is a button that generates…a blank email to a specific address,…you can use InDesign's Hyperlinks feature.…This is good for common contact emails…such as a letter to the editor or a contact us button.…On this layout in the bottom right-hand corner…I've got some artwork that says Tap to email Petal Jones.…I'm gonna place a clear frame over that artwork…and I'm gonna assign a Hyperlink to this frame,…so I'm gonna right click, go to Hyperlinks, New Hyperlink…and it's defaulting to the right type, but I'm going…to choose Email for the type of link that I'm creating…Gonna type in the address, and the subject is…going to be letter to the editor,…and that is all I have to do, so then I OK out of that…and the heavy blue dotted line indicates that…it's a Hyperlink assigned to that frame,…and I can test this right in the Hyperlinks Panel.…
So if I go to the Hyperlinks Panel,…the little envelope icon indicates it's an Email Hyperlink.…and if I click on that icon,…it will launch my Email Client and show me…

Q: After following along with the movie "Embedding a PDF in an article," I am not able to preview the PDF using the button within the folio, as shown. I receive a URL error message ("cannot open this page"). How do I fix the link to the PDF?
A: There is an error in this video. Instead of zipping the HTML resources folder itself, you need to zip compress the contents of that folder. Next, rename the zipped file to “HTMLResources.zip” exactly (the name is case-sensitive).
