The published only document is very effective when you want to update the document quickly.
Posting the downloadable PDF with the same interactivity as the online version is a good backup, in case your mobile workforce doesn't have access to the internet when they are on the road. For example a salesperson on the road. Or maybe the client office won't allow internet access.An error occurred while saving the comment Nita commentedI saw on the previous InDesign there's an option to download PDF with minimal interactivity (using hyperlinks), but now the option is gone. I understand that we might not be able to use animation or button (for now), but at the very least interactivity using hyperlinks should be allowed. I can see the advantages of publishing a design that works both for online and pdf downloads.
Yes, we might not get the bells and whistle of flying animation, pop up of a table of contents, etc., but being able to update the same document and publish it to the same link is huge for a company that has content that needs updating without keep uploading a new pdf every time. And it would a great option, for example, a salesperson who can't access the internet but they still can download the pdf with the interactivity still intact on their computer to read offline.
What's the point of creating flashy interactivity if the downloadable version strips all the interactivity?
Interactive PDF is very popular among our clients. But the problem is updating it and redistributing it is a cumbersome process. So the content gets obsolete once the PDF is distributed. Publish online provides that workaround solution on the "update content part." But it would be a perfect solution if Adobe also adds downloadable PDF with interactivity intact. I thought this is going to be a game-changer to have the ability to update the document and be able to download the full interactive PDF in case there's no internet connection. You don't know how much this solution is the answer to most of our client who doesn't want to make their content a full-blown microsite or mobile app. Adobe, please consider having an option to download the PDF with full interactivity intact.

@Boyd Nielsen.... hm interesting. I thought when you publish online, on the dialog box, you have the button to upload your interactive PDF with the links as your version of the downloadable PDF.
