Solved

Hello,

After searching on Google and various forums, I can't seem to solve my problem.
I inserted "go to page" buttons into my Indesign document. However, when I try to export my document to a PDF interactive format, an error message appears indicating that they will not be usable after export (see screenshot of the error message).
Thank you in advance for your help.

    I just received a response on another forum. In fact, the "go to page" button function is simply not supported by the interactive PDF format. To work around the issue, you have to use page-type hyperlinks.
    Thank you nonetheless for your responses.

      And you wouldn't have noted how to make a hyperlink type page?

    Have you properly inserted the trigger script (on click/hover, etc.)?

      Hello, yes absolutely. Furthermore, I used a "next page" button programmed in the same way which works perfectly.

      You say "insert a button"... How is that?

      Didn't you create a button from a rectangle with an associated script?
      Could you have a shape (a text) on top that blocks the click action?

        One is in an ellipse shape and the other is in a text area. No, I don't have anything on it that could block the action...

      Are you on a "template" page?
