For years, PDF's have been the go-to solution for distributing digital documents. They allow brands to share their identity with the confidence that their correct fonts will load, colours will be correct and the positioning of elements on the page staying locked and in position.
However, they've also had limitations. Large files, downloads required, very limited interactivity and if they later update them, the confusion over version control. Matrix wanted a better way to help clients share, update, and track their content in real time without the need to resorting to building full websites, which can become quite costly with the expense of development, domains, hosting, and monthly security updates.
We've been exploring how to make documents behave more like modern web experiences. Making them engaging, responsive, and measurable without adding complex development or hosting costs.
Matrix have partnered with Adobe to transform how our team delivers client publications. Using the same creative tools we already master, we're now able to create our supercharged "Publish Online" documents. These are instantly viewable on any device, no downloads or plug-ins required.
Clients and teams can review and approve live versions, reducing time spent on revisions and file-sharing. Edits are made in real time, so everyone always sees the most up-to-date version.
Our Publish Online brings our work, and your brand to life. Reports, presentations, and guides can now feature smooth page transitions, embedded video, animations, clickable hotspots, and accordions. All of the things that PDF's can't do!
It’s the perfect bridge between print design and digital storytelling, letting us produce content that’s both functional and beautifully immersive.
