BaseStation is a product that lets users upload their PDFs and turn them into interactive PDFs by letting users easily add video and audio directly onto the PDFs in 3 simple steps. Upload, point & click, and record.
In this article, we will show you how easy it is to use BaseStation to turn simple PDFs into interactive PDFs.
Why Make Your PDFs Interactive?
Sending a static PDF is often not the preferred option for engaging in communication.
If it's a client-facing document and you’d prefer to discuss it over a phone call, you’re likely sending them a text or email due to prior difficulties reaching them.
If it's an internal-facing document, you’re probably tired of answering policy questions and want to add a human explanation to confusing policy documents.
Here are some points:
- Significantly more engaging: Ditch boring text; add videos or voice-overs!
- Improved understanding: Hearing from another human simplifies complex ideas.
- Integrates seamlessly with your workflow: Upload the documents you already use.
- More memorable: Your clients are more likely to remember if you explain complex documents in simple terms.
Step 1: Upload Your PDF
To begin, sign up for a free account. Afterward, upload your PDF by clicking the ‘+ Create’ button.
Step 2: Add Video and Audio Content by Pointing and Clicking
After uploading your PDF, you can start making it interactive by adding points of interest. Here’s how:
1. Click on the “Add Video / Add Audio” button.
2. Select the specific location on the PDF where you want to place your interactive content.
Once you’ve marked a point of interest:
• Click “Add Video” or “Add Audio” to attach your desired file.
• Choose the video or audio file from your device, and it will be added directly to your PDF.
This simple process allows you to enhance your document with engaging multimedia content.
Step 3: Share Your Interactive PDF
Your interactive PDFs are automatically saved and ready to share. Click the ‘Share’ button and enter the recipients’ email addresses.
