Adobe InDesign

I need a freelancer skilled in Adobe InDesign to create an interactive PDF that closely matches the attached visual sample and requirements document. The layout must feature a left sidebar with 10 interactive buttons, rounded corners, and structured layers for background, frames, sidebar buttons, icons, and main content. Each sidebar button should link to a separate placeholder page with the same design elements and a placeholder logo, dummy text, and download icons for PDF, Excel, Word, and Image formats. The design must be delivered as a fully editable .INDD file and an interactive PDF with password protection for testing purposes. Precise attention to layout, interactivity, and matching the provided reference is required. No content, logos, or final button names are needed—I will add those later. Please ensure all deliverables are created from scratch in InDesign and strictly follow the detailed instructions included in the attached files.

Budget range:
Simple project ($30 – 250 USD)

🔘 Sidebar Buttons
• Exactly 10 buttons required.
• Must match the original design in:
o Shape

o Shadow
o Vertical alignment
• Buttons must be interactive, using “Go to Page” action in InDesign.
• Each button should link to a separate blank page.
• Button titles will be added later by me.

📄 Linked Content Pages
• Each page navigated to from the sidebar buttons will:
o Be empty
o Serve as a placeholder for future mind maps.
o Include the same curved layout and top frame as the main page.
• A placeholder logo should be placed in the top-left corner.
• Add dummy text above the top frame next to the logo for visual structure.

📥 Download Icons (Bottom of Each Page)
• Add 4 icons aligned horizontally at the bottom of each content page:
o 📄 PDF
o 📊 Excel
o 📝 Word
o 🖼️ Image
• Icons must:

o Top-left corner of the main frame
o Curves at the bottom of the page
o All button corners

🖼️ Elements You Don’t Need to Add
• Actual content (mind maps or texts)
• Final logo
• Final button names
➡️ I will insert these myself later.

✅ Final Deliverables

o ❌ No conversions from PowerPoint, Illustrator, or any other software are accepted
• An editable .INDD file with properly named and grouped layers
• A fully interactive PDF exported using Acrobat DC or CC
• Sidebar buttons that work perfectly and link to respective pages
• Clean and stylish download icons at the bottom of every page
• Dummy content (mind maps, logos, and download file links) used only for testing purposes

🧪 Preview & Testing Requirements
• The designer must provide:
o A preview copy of the .INDD file
o An interactive PDF file (Acrobat DC/CC compatible)
o With temporary password protection
• I will test the design on various screen sizes to ensure layout consistency and functional interactions

🔁 Final Note
• Please ensure 99% visual match with the reference design before delivery.
• Dummy mind maps and 4 fake files per icon type must be added to test navigation and download actions.
