What is a Motion PDF?

A Motion PDF is a web-based interactive document format that allows users to embed interactive contents, such as videos, GIFs, and links, directly into their PDF documents. These interactive elements enhance the reader's experience and engagement.

Visitor experience

When a visitor opens a Motion PDF link, it will automatically launch the FeatPaper viewer in a new tab. This process does not require visitors to take any additional actions, such as downloading a software or creating an account.

Visitors need an online environment to share or view FeatPaper Motion PDFs.
