Links & buttons

Make any page area clickable

Add Linked Icons, Solid Buttons, or Invisible Hotspots so readers tap links without leaving your PDF flipbook.

Flipbook page with Linked Icons, Solid Buttons, and Invisible Hotspots

Why use interactive hotspots

A static PDF can show a phone number or a website. An interactive PDF flipbook can make that area tapable. Readers hit the action without hunting for a URL or leaving the book.

Use hotspots on catalogs, magazines, lookbooks, and sales decks when you want clear CTAs or invisible hit zones over art that already looks finished.

Three ways to place a link

Linked Icon

Place an animated marker readers can tap. Good when you want a visible “tap here” cue without covering the layout with a big button.

Solid Button

Draw a labeled button on the page. Match brand colors and give a clear call to action such as Shop, Book a demo, or Learn more.

Invisible Hotspot

Draw a transparent hit zone over a photo, logo, headline, or map. The design stays clean. The area still opens a link.

All three live under Links & Buttons in page media. Pick the style that fits the page, then set the destination.

How you add one

  1. Open the flipbook and go to page media.
  2. Choose Links & Buttons.
  3. Pick Linked Icon, Solid Button, or Invisible Hotspot.
  4. Place or draw it on the page.
  5. Set the link: URL, page jump, call, or email.
  6. Publish. Readers tap and go.

Common setups

Catalogs

Make product photos open a product page, or put a Shop button under a hero spread.

Magazines and lookbooks

Link credits, brand sites, and shop-the-look moments without cluttering the art.

Sales decks

Jump to a pricing page, open a calendar link, or dial the sales line from the page.

  • Hotspots work with your existing PDF. You do not rebuild pages for every link.

  • Invisible zones keep polished layouts looking print-ready.
