Sep 15, 2011 10:47 am | Issuu Today we’re excited to reveal a simple, slick new way to increase interaction within your magazine, catalogs, and portfolios. From now on, you’ll be able to flesh out your documents with easy navigation link buttons. What does that it mean? Well, it means alot more action from a standard digital edition. Use these nifty little buttons to get them into your online shop, print, download and buy your publications, or link easily to your blog, site, or support services. In the past we’ve blogged about keeping your links active when you upload your .pdf, or how to modify your hyperlinks. Let’s just say, it’s a whole lot easier now because you can insert these links after you’ve uploaded your document. (Note, all your active links will still work). Actually, here’s our top ten favourite new black-and-white link buttons: Publication button - Redirect readers to a prior issues, a library of back issues or your subscription site. Heart button- What’s not to love? Garner support and adoration for products, issues, news, photos within your document. Map button- Great for conference brochures and festival guides! Give readers maps and directions to your events, or just show them where you’re offices are. Phone button- Link them right to your Skype account or direct phone line. Support button- Lead readers to your FAQ, Help Desk, Customer Care, or other support services. Cart button- Everyone’s favourite: buy! buy! buy! Link to you online store, etsy, subscription sign-up, or directly to the manufacturer’s site. Print button- Simple one-click option to print Navigate button- Way easier than our earlier hyperlinking tutorial, create easy table of contents and page jumps to articles. Info button - Direct readers to your About page, Opening Hours, and well, all the info they’ll need. Profile button - Share your Issuu profile with your readers and direct them to your other publications. Here’s a quick run-through to peppering your document with some of these. Alright, first: when viewing a document, you’ll be prompted to edit in links by the top right ‘Edit’ button above your publication. If you’re in full-screen Reader mode, a blue drop-down bar will encourage the same. Second: drag your mouse to create a dotted box – this is where your new button will go. Then click ‘Edit.’ From there, a pop-up appears with all the different buttons. Play around in there! When you’ve selected your icon, enter the URL and Tooptip. Then click ‘Done’ when you’re satisfied. Make sure to save, and Preview your new button.   Get linking you guys!       comments | read more      About This is the latest post from Issuu's blog.
