Create Digital Brochure (ebrochure)

I would like to create a digital brochure (catalogue with product pictures and contents) to be sent by email or to be shown on a internet page.
The brochure does not have video but needs to have the flipping pages effect, sonething that I have understood needs Flash.
I am not sure what software can be used: Pages or Adobe CS4?
Thank you for your help

Hi jtcreations72
Welcome to the forum.
Pages does not, although you can convert a .pdf output from Pages:

Create an interactive digital brochure

Which of the Adobe Suite applications is best suited to create an interactive digital brochure? I am new to Creative Coud and fairly new to most of the Adobe Apps but wanting to learn. Indesign or Illustrator plus which others?
I want to be able to view brochure on desktop and mobile platforms and I want the brochure to include page flips, video, animation, etc.

You can't do all of those things in the same kind of digital file. You can choose InDesign. Your choices are interactive PDF, SWF or a tablet app with Digital Publishing Suite. You need to investigate which of those features work with which output.

Publish a digital brochure for car manufacturer? Allowed?

I got a great idea, to digital making a digital brochure for a car manufacturer. Yes ofcource the brand has to give the OK on this. But my doubts are, is iTunes U allowing me to publish a digital document aka brochure for promoting a carbrand and it's cars. Because i see great oppertunities to do so on the iBooks/Author. However i allready tried some emailing back and forth and just keep getting 'relatively' standard answers back, and they all point out at educational guidelines and usage of logos and such.
Can somebody shed some light on this?

You seem confused.
iBooks2 and the iBooks author are perfect for creating rich, interactive books. Sure, you can use that.
iTunes U... notice the "U" there? That stands for University. This is a service geared toward Higher Education. Not a commercial entity.
You can use the tools to author a book, but you need to look elsewhere to distribute the book. iTunes U is not appropriate for that. Good luck!

How do I create a brochure in InDesign?

How do I start a brochure in InDesign and are there pictures I can use online for free or do I have to buy them?

One really useful tool I've used (and still do) for learning InDesign (and lots of other stuff) is to search Google with a concise question and the word InDesign in it. You may get more than you want, need, or can deal with, but you'll be seeing responses from this forum's posts and other Adobe.com resources, as well as from lots of other non-Adobe sources "out there."

Cannot create "Digital" measuring points on Work Manager 6.0

Hi All,
I am attempting to create "digital" i.e. Pass/Fail measuring points in Work Manager 6.0. I can enter readings as shown below but when I execute a sync, the error message below is shown:
I can use the same measuring point in SAP via IK11 as shown below to create a measuring document using valuation code only. However, the Work Manager requires a numeric characteristic to be added and the "no reading" checkbox to be ticked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Michael,
I tried setting it up with just the two values (0-fail and 1-Pass) and I'm still running into errors. If you could take a look I'd be grateful.
Set up code group with two values:
IK11 allows just the valuation code to be used:
On the device:
As far as I can see this should work but it still creates the same error as previously. Ideally it should work as IK11 and allow the user to select from multiple valuation codes but it appears to still require a characteristic.
One option I tried is to assign a characteristic in addition to the the valuation code and use a 0 reading. This works but is a "workaround" solution in comparison to IK11.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Creating PDF brochure for printing: Remove white margin

Hi guys,
I created a brochure in Idesign which has a black background color.
In order to print the brochure I want to create a PDF (with the right order of pages, e.g. page 1 next to page 8, 2 next to 7 etc.) via the "print function".
The page order is not a problem, but unfotunately I always get a white margin although there is no such in the original indesign document.
(When using the normal "export function" of Indesign there is no white margin, but then I cannot create a PDF with the right page order for printing...)
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Best,
Chris

In order to print with bleed you generally need to print onto a larger sheet and trim. I'm guessing you are trying to print this on a desktop printer of some sort, and unless specifically designed for "borderless" printing they always have a border along the edge that cannont be imaged.

I can't find it either. Pratgeek, what was the name of the application you used in Ubuntu? Is there a website for it?
probably a kind of necrobump, but i've been searching for flowchart drawing software, and found this topic.
well, mentioned tdfd is the part of software suite called TCM available at least in debian/ubuntu.
it appears to be really old, i could found only user guide and ubuntu/debian package pages on the web, but it appears to be working quite well.
i've installed it on my ubuntu machine just half an hour ago, but it seems to be at least worth to play with, and i'd even make a PKGBUILD if i like it.

Can I limit options when creating digital sig?

Hi, all. Thanks, in advance, for any help :-)
We have created an application in LiveCycle and have incorporated digital signatures to allow applicants to sign the various forms within the application, including W-4 and I-9. I have several questions and will post some as other topics, but let's start with this...
The average person filling out one of these applications jack around with options in the create digital ID wizard that they don't need to change, so I want to know if there is a way to lock down these options, such as the font, digital sig file type, country and show only the create new ID option in the first dropdown rather than showing every ID that's been created on that pc. As well, some options are totally unneccesary and I would like them to not show up at all.
Is there any way I can change these things in the wizard?
Thanks,
Michelle

As I mentioned in my reply to yuor other question, when Acrobat is used to create a digital certificate, it is creating a self-signed certificate that conforms to the X509 certificate standard. I'm sure that the information that the self-signed certificate creation wizard in Acrobatis capturing is necessary to create a valid X509 digital certificate.
There is no way that I am aware of to "customize" the self-signed certificate creation wizard in Acrobat.

Creating PDF brochure for printing: Black color adjustment

Hi guys,
I created a brochure in Idesign which has a black background color and in addition also some pictures with black backgrounds.
In order to print the brochure I want to create a PDF (with the right order of pages, e.g. page 1 next to page 8, 2 next to 7 etc.) via the "print function".
The page order is not a problem, but the black background color is rather gray instead of black - so there is quite a difference between the black background color of the pictures and of the whole background.
(When using the normal "export function" of Indesign I know how to solve the color problem, but then I cannot create a PDF with the right page order for printing...)
Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Best,
Chris

Your images all use some form of Rich Black for the background, and that prints using all 4 CMYK inks. Your 100%K background will almost always seem gray next to that because it is, in fact, lighter. This will be true even if you use a profile conversion to make it also a 4-color black.
You can make your own rich black swatch and use it as the background (sample a few of the images to get some idea of a good mix), but in truth your images are still probably not going to match all that well. Images tend to have color variations across the background, and your ID background is a flat color, so even a slight mismatch can cause the edges to be obvious. There can also be differences in color on some printers caused by differences in the way raster and vector content are processesd.
I prefer to embrace that, or at least admit it is going to happen, and either use a completely different color for the background so the mismatch always shows, and looks deliberate rather than like a mismatch, or I add a stroke to the image frames, often paper, to break the continuity and disguise the mismatch.
As far as imposing the file and exporting, there are a number of free scripts, and an actual plugin, IDimposer which is also currently free, that can impose your file for you before you export. You can learn more about the plugin at Overview | IDImposer

Creating a Brochure for Pages

I'm working on a theater brochure for my college. Anyway, I'm curious if there's a step by step method somewhere to create one from scratch or more templates available online. Thanks in advance...
rick

Free templates are available from:
http://www.iworkcommunity.com
Higher quality commercial templates:
http://www.stocklayout.com
http://www.jumsoft.com
http://www.keynotepro.com
http://www.keynoteuser.com
http://www.keynotethemepark.com
Since creating a brochure is both a technical and a design process it is difficult to suggest a "Step-by-Step" guide. Study the templates provided and actual copies of material you admire and try to deconstruct them.
Apple provides good video tutorials on using Pages, available under the Pages' Help menu.
As always ideas, taste and experience are recommended, but rarely employed.
Peter
P.S. A word of warning, read the posts here before going off expecting to print the brochure commercially. Pages is not built for this.

How do you create a brochure for a website that is interactive and opens like a real brochure?

I've created a brochure in Indesign. I can make it interactive and have the pages turn like a book, but I want it to open like a brochure. How can I do this and with what program?

Next we'll want folding pieces represented on a screen that represents the unfolded piece of paper behaving like a pdf, behaving like a folded piece of paper.
It's like inception!
I use BoxShot 4 - you can save a 3D pdf.
It doesn't allow folding - but gives it a good idea.

Create digitally signed PDFs

Is there a way to create digitally signed PDFs by using the options at the "Print" menu to "Save as PDF" that is available at certain apps ?
If there is no built-in solution by Apple, which applications do you use to digitally sign PDFs ? I searched the discussions, but haven't found an appropriate solution so far...
Thanks for your help

Is PortableSigner a professional tool that really works ?
I have no idea how good it is, and I don't really have any benchmark to compare it to. It's hosted at Sourceforge, which might explain why the web site is a big crude-looking. On the other hand, the site says it's a project of the Municipality of Vienna, so I'd say that it appears it's good enough for at least one government.
My feeling is that a lot of the software at Sourceforge is written for a specific, fairly specialized purpose, and sometimes not a lot of time is spent on the GUI or user-friendly features. But if your purpose happens to meet up with the purpose of the creators, the software can be a life-saver.
Really, I'd say just download it and try it. Only you know if it's good enough or not. And you've got nothing to lose since it's free.

Photoshop or Illustrator - for creating digital art?

So, I want to create digital arts like the link provided below. I just don’t know if Photoshop or Illustrator is the right tool. Money really isn’t an object when it comes to art, but uh, which one is more designed for creating digital artwork?
Example Picture Link: http://d.facdn.net/art/thefarewelled/1304841391.thefarewelled_huey_cut_in_copy.png
[This is not my picture and found on google images]
Please & thanks, Much love.

Ultimately I would say photoshop is your best bet. You can do the hard lines, shading and blending for this type of thing fairly easily in photoshop compared to illustrator if you know how. Most web comic artist I know who do their work in color usually use photoshop to produce exactly this type of look. For examples look at Katbox.net/laslindas or 2kinds.com

Does Adobe have a product to convert PDF to Digital Brochure - HTML5 I believe. Not EPUB because this takes specific software to open.

Does Adobe have a product to convert PDF to Digital Brochure - HTML5 I believe. Not EPUB because this takes specific software to open.

Possibly naïve in terms of the skills required in what your talking about, but what I’m referring to is done by literally dozens of software companies and is commonly referred to as a digital brochure. Here are a few:
www.epageview.com<http://www.epageview.com>
www.inhousedigitalpublishing.com<http://www.inhousedigitalpublishing.com>
www.digital-brochure.com<http://www.digital-brochure.com>
http://www.3dissue.com/
So what I’m looking for is an Adobe solution similar to these solutions.
