Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to create a button from text in Adobe InDesign:

‍

1. To begin creating buttons in Adobe InDesign, navigate to the top menu and click 'Window.'
2. Select 'Interactive' → 'Buttons and Forms' to open the dialog box.
3. Click the text you want to turn into a button.
4. Give your button a descriptive name for easy reference, then configure the settings to define its appearance and the action it will perform when clicked.
5. Once finished, go to the top menu and select 'File → Export' to test your button.
6. Choose 'Adobe PDF (Interactive)' as the export format, then click 'Save' to create your interactive PDF.
7. Make sure the 'Include All' option is checked, then click 'Export' to create your PDF.
8. Open the exported 'Interactive PDF' and check the text you turned into a button. The cursor should change to a hand, or the text may highlight, showing that it is now clickable.
