Create Interactive PDF – Without Prior Experience it is possible

Portable Document Format files are very popular due to their convenience. They are easy to share and work with. However, conventional PDFs are rather dull and do not respond to the user’s input online: people can only download but not read them on the Web. Fortunately, modern technology allows you to create interactive PDF that people can read online even if you do not have any technical knowledge. So long as you can use a computer and the Internet, the power is in your hands to create stunning ePapers in a few simple steps, thanks to YUMPU. Here is what you need to do.

2. On the upper part of the homepage, you will see these words prominently displayed: “Upload your PDF here:”

3. Click on the “Browse” button and select the PDF file you want to upload. The file will start uploading automatically even if you do not click on the “Next” button.

4. Wait for the PDF file to complete uploading. The time it will take will depend on the size of the file and speed of your Internet connection.

Create Interactive PDF Search Engine Friendly

You can edit your ePaper in your account under “Document Manager.” You can add different details that will help users locate your interactive PDF online, from changing your title to adding description and tags. YUMPU has SEO features to increase attendance to your interactive PDFs.

YUMPU Publishing is intelligent enough to automatically perform some important tasks on your behalf. For example, it will automatically generate relevant tags depending on the content of your interactive PDF file. However, this does not mean that you cannot enter your own tags if you want more than the ones already included. It is also a good idea to place your ePaper in the relevant category.

Make Even More Tweaks

• The validity of your magazine
• Its visibility status, be it private, protected or published
