Adobe InDesign Specialist Needed to Create Interactive PDF from DOCX (Legal Framework)

Description: I am looking for a skilled, detail oriented designer to take a completed DOCX document (The Personal Injury Lawsuit Framework) and convert it into a clean, consistent, professionally formatted interactive PDF. This PDF will be licensed to law firms, so the layout must be polished, stable, and publication ready. All content is already written. Your role is layout, structure, and interactivity — not writing or editing. You must be proficient in Adobe InDesign. Other software (including Affinity Publisher, Canva, or Scribus) is not acceptable for this project. Scope of Work You will: • Import the DOCX into Adobe InDesign • Create a clean, consistent layout template for the entire Framework • Apply professional typography, spacing, and structure • Add interactive elements (e.g., clickable table of contents, internal navigation links) • Ensure the final PDF is polished, consistent, and stable • Export the final deliverable as a high quality interactive PDF • Export the final InDesign file as an IDML to support future Version 2 editing • Deliver all files via Google Drive No customization, no rewriting — strictly layout and PDF creation. Tools & Workflow • All source files will be provided via Google Drive • You will upload all completed files back into the shared Drive • Adobe InDesign is required • Final deliverables must include: o One interactive PDF o The packaged InDesign project folder o An IDML export for future editing Milestones (Required) To ensure quality and smooth progress, the project will be structured into milestones: Milestone 1 — Template + Sample Section You create the layout template and produce one formatted section for approval. Payment: $200 Milestone 2 — First Half of the Framework You format and build the first half of the document. Payment: $500 Milestone 3 — Second Half of the Framework You format and build the remaining half. Payment: $500 Milestone 4 — Final Interactive PDF + IDML + Revisions You assemble the full interactive PDF, finalize layout, deliver the packaged InDesign files, and provide the IDML export. Payment: $200 Total Project Budget: $1,400 (fixed) This structure protects both of us and ensures consistent quality.
