What is Motion PDF and how it makes your document stand out
Have you ever poured your heart into crafting a brilliant proposal, only to worry that it might end up being treated as spam and disappear among other proposals? 😢
Sadly, the story of proposals being neglected in inboxes is all too common. Clients, who receive multiple proposals, often find it challenging to read each one thoroughly.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a surefire way to capture the client's attention?
Introducing Motion PDF
A Motion PDF (Motion PDF) is a type of PDF file that can include dynamic content such as videos, animations, and sound.
Typically, when we think of a "PDF," we imagine a static document that can be downloaded. No matter how well-designed it is, clients can still become fatigued by reading long blocks of text.
But what if something suddenly sparkled and moved?
What if you could show a video to explain difficult concepts?
What if clients could schedule follow-up meetings directly from the document without having to visit a separate page?
Dynamic content improves learning outcomes by 89%
According to Richard Mayer's research, educational materials that incorporate text, images, animations, and videos improve learning outcomes by 89% compared to those that only use text and images.
By using motion elements and interactive features in the right places, you can prevent customer attrition, highlight important information, and suggest follow-up actions!
Amidst boring PDFs, your dynamic Motion PDF proposal will undoubtedly stand out.
How to Create a Motion PDF
Peatpaper offers a variety of features for creating Motion PDFs. When you upload your proposal to Peatpaper, you get an editor that allows you to add motion elements.
You can embed YouTube or Vimeo links, or upload video files directly into the PDF. This allows you to showcase your product through impressive introduction videos or explain complex usage instructions visually!
One of my favorite features of Peatpaper is external tool embedding. You can schedule follow-up meetings directly within the PDF using Calendly, or collect small surveys using Typeform or Tally!
When your document starts to get dull, how about adding a GIF? It can catch the client's eye with a sparkle exactly where you want to emphasize something!
Want to direct the client to another webpage or a different page within the document? Use the LINK and NAV functions. You can make the PDF function like a webpage, enabling clients to interact actively.
