Convert indesign to pages

Is it possible to convert indesign or quark files into a pages file?

Yes a complete reconstruction.
Stocklayouts.com seems to have used a conversion path via .pdf, I think, because all their Pages' examples have the lines broken up individually. They are not textboxes with complete text strings, nor set up as placeholders to take advantage of the more useful features of iWork.

ps I like to link to sources for the users here, have you set these templates up yet?

Can i convert indesign document to web page in dreamweaver

Can I convert indesign 6 document to dreamweaver web page

As SnakEyes suggests, the short answer is, "no." The long answer is more complicated.
InDesign is a tool that provides you with desktop publishing, not web publishing. DTP tools let you choose fonts, precisely place graphics and photos, create columns with text that flows from one to the next and so on.
A website is completely different. Web browsers do not have access to unlimited typefaces and, while your digital font license does allow you to send typefaces to a printer, it typically does not allow you to send it to all web browsers accessing your website on the internet. And also not all browsers work with all types of fonts hosted on a server.
Text in browsers is rendered at screen resolution, which is typically 72 DPI. When you are setting up for a printer, you can access printers with 1200 and 2400 DPI, which is very high resolution. So your use of typefaces will, of necessity, be different for a website than it will be for print. We typically print for publications using serif typefaces for running text, as it helps the eye to flow to the next character and the next word. But since screen resolution is so low, we use sans-serif type for running text on a website because it will be more easily read than serif type on a low-resolution screen.
Layout options for print tend to be very precise. One may simply drag and drop an image and have text flow around it in a DTP application. There is no design application for website building that allows you to do that which also gives you clean HTML and CSS code. So, if you want anything near like the precision for a website that you are used to in the DTP environment, you're going to need to learn HTML and CSS.
Dreamweaver is a code-writing engine that has a display aspect that will let you see your design as you write the code. It also automates the production of a very limited amount of code, manages your links and will allow you to put your finished web pages on a server.
Microsoft allows you to export Excel and Word documents "as web pages" and the result is horrific. It can actually take more time to clean up the code produced by these Microsoft applications than it would be to simply create a website from scratch in Dreamweaver.
With In Design, the built-in HTML export is designed to extract content, not geometry. The end result of an export to HTML bears no resemblance to the original layout. The HTML exporter does allow the designer to attach external CSS and JavaScript files, but this assumes the designer is comfortable with code and has time to re-conceive the layout from scratch.
Now, you can use the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to do the export. This ranges from about $400.00 to $100,000 plus usage fees. This price may be good for the New York Times, but not cost-effective for a single designer or a small shop. The output of the DPS is limited. It only outputs to tablet devices and the iPhone. It won't output to desktops or Android phones. Everyone who wants to see your publication has to sign up for an Adobe.com account, then they have to send you their email address associated with the account. You then have to add their email to a distribution list, tell them to download the Adobe Content Viewer to their tablet, and then look at your publication through the ACV. Or you can create an app that is a stand-in for the Adobe Content Viewer, like the New York Times did and then you have to pay Apple the iOS Developer fee.
Or, you can simply make a website that sticks to modern HTML and CSS standards.
I'm looking forward to Ken Binney's comments after he sees the code structure exported from InDesign.

How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.

How to digitize a physical book (scanned pfd file) to a kindle format with Indesign? pages are 8x11.
I have all scanned pages, but the kindle format offered on the Indesign options is bigger. What should I do? Do I start a book from scratch with the scanned pictures or do I leave the pages with the white space on them with the kindle option of Indesign.

Hi barbaraegarza,
For your situation, you could try using alternatives like PDF4Kindle, Calibre, or Papercrop. But based on what I've read and my quick experiment, depending on the complexity of your PDF, it may be more effort than it's worth to try to convert a PDF into a legible Kindle, ePub, or any other e-reader file.
I did a quick test on Calibre with a 16-page PDF that contained multiple columns and images. The results were illegible! It ran the lines from each column together, making the text difficult to comprehend. Calibre explains why PDFs are difficult to convert -- Ebook Conversion — calibre User Manual. I have not tried the other two applications that I suggested above, but I would assume that the results would be very similar.
I don't know what kind of results you got when you converted it in InDesign, but if your first test turned out fine and it was just the size of the file that you are concerned about, you could use Acrobat to reduce your PDF's file size and convert it to the Kindle format in InDesign again.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

I recently signed up for a one month trial of adobe pro. I logged in. I cannot convert a single page of PDF file to word or Excel with this trial. I just get the request to sign up for a year. What good is the trial if I can't try it?

Hey vcomfort6,
Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
Hope to hear from you.

hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF.

Hey quantum info,
Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page" option in Acrobat.
Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
Hope to hear from you.

Batch Convert InDesign Files to PDF: Acrobat 9 Pro Opens CS3

A question came up in the InDesign forum about batch converting InDesign files. I've never really needed to do it but I was aware of the batch convert command. The OP reported errors so I tried it myself and while it worked, for some reason Acrobat 9 Pro is opening InDesign CS3 even though I have CS4 and CS5 installed.
I can't seem to find any way to change the default for INDD files. I tried launching ID CS5 first, but Acrobat still launched ID CS3. If I double click an INDD file in Windows Explorer, it opens in CS5 so the operating system has the default correct.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks,
I just found that out, too.
What I'd like to find out is how to fix this.

Place multiple InDesign document pages (ImportedPages)

Hello,
I need a way to place multiple pages from an InDesign document in much the same way as the sample PlaceMulitpagePDF.jsx does but with InDesign documents rather than PDFs.
The following is the critical line where the PDF page number to import is set:
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = myCounter;
What is the equivalent command for setting the InDesign document page number when choosing a page to import?
I have tried using:
Application.ImportedPageAttribute.pageNumber
but without result.
TIA

Why, thank you Mr. Schneider!
I am embarassed to say that my problem was a couple of typos, (reading the Zanelli script made that obvious to me). The command should have been:
app.importedPageAttributes.pageNumber
Note the lowercase "i" on "imported" and the "s" after "Attribute."
Your help is very much appreciated!

I converted a 253 page document from Word 2010 to pdf using Adobe Professional 8. The pdf fike only had 251 pages. Why?

Word documents don't have a fixed page layout; Word reflows freely if it wants. This isn't normally a problem unless things like typing page numbers is done; avoid that.

We can convert a .JSP page content into a .txt file by using MIME type conversion. In this scenario we cannot provide a button, because its an .txt file (not .JSP).
If you want to print JSP content into a .txt content along with a button to print that page can also be done.

Hello, I am trying to place a file typed in Japanese in to an Indesign CS2 page.

Hello, I am trying to place a file typed in Japanese in to an Indesign CS2 page. The original text is a Microsoft Word file.
When it is saved as a .pdf, I am not able to do anything with it. I use a MAC running on Tiger 10.4.11.
I need it for an insert in a CD.
Any help on this?
thank you very much.

Ah -- you are placing the PDF, right? Use the Word file instead. A PDF file is not a text file, so you get it as an image.

Convert Indesign file to editable Powerpoint presentation?

I know I can save an indesign file to a pdf and convert to powerpoint from there, but not everything translates. Drop shadows, some dingbats, and some text formatting do not translate, so I have to edit within powerpoint.
