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.
