Title: PDF Tools Bar and clickable form elements
Post by: dragonfly on January 02, 2026, 06:35:23 PM
I have not played with Scribus for a very long time.  My interest in returning is to build clickable form elements. But I can't seem to find a newbie interactive PDF tutorial for Scribus 1.6.8 on Ubuntu 22.04. Moreover they must be custom forms and I know how to use Scribus Generator to customise. Under Windows, PDF Tools is enabled. But where is the "PDF Toolbar" explained in tutorials?
I am considering doing this in two stages if I can't figure it out. First stage customised but static Scribus PDF. Pass to MasterPDFEditor or perhaps Adobe to overlay clickable elements. Is that the way to proceed?

The method for "Adding Hyperlinks to your Scribus PDF document" is explain here : https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Adding_Hyperlinks_to_your_Scribus_PDF_document

You can create a special layer only for the "pdf annotation" (where you config your hyperlink)
