Responsive PDF alternative

A responsive alternative to PDF, built for every screen.

A PDF keeps the same page layout even when the screen becomes smaller. A responsive web publication adapts its content to the reader's device. Publish magazines, reports and white papers as a link designed to work across mobile, tablet and desktop.

  • Built for different screen sizes
  • Published and shared as a link
  • Designed in your own brand

What changes when you publish for the web?

Not every document needs to become a web publication. But when online reading, sharing and updating matter, a responsive structure creates more room than a fixed PDF page.

Responsive reading

Text, imagery and navigation adapt to the screen, reducing the need to zoom in and out.

01

Share one link

Distribute one web address through your website, newsletter, intranet or other owned channels.

02

Update the content

Change the online publication without distributing an entirely new file.

03

Your own brand

Build with colours, typography and visual choices that fit your organisation.

04

Media and interaction

Combine text and imagery with web-native elements that do not have to stay within a static page.

05

Available insights

Use the insights available in the platform to understand how the publication is used.

06

Choose the format that fits the way people will use it.

A responsive publication fits when

the publication will mainly be read online;

mobile use matters;

you want to share one link;

the content may change;

text, imagery and interaction work together.

A PDF remains useful when

a fixed layout is required or preferred;

downloading, printing or archiving is central;

the document must always look exactly the same;

the reader explicitly needs a file.

Both formats can exist side by side. Choose which one should lead for each publication.

Designed for online reading.

A responsive publication is not treated as a stack of digital pages. Its structure follows the screen and the navigation patterns of the web.
