InDesign CS6 (8.0.1) - HTML 5 'Flipbook'

Good morning everyone,
I am an InDesign CS6 user and I am looking for a solution to exporting my magazines/books/newsletters to an HTML 5 'flipbook', similar to the SWF flip books you can get.
The reason I am looking for an HTML 5, or similar, is because I want these to be able to be viewed on smart phones and tablets, not just computer screens.
Does anyone know of any software solutions that would hit the following criteria?
• MAC based
• Export direct from InDesign
• Exported documents are readable on smartphones/iPads
• Exported documents are searchable and have zoom functionality
The basic export to SWF from InDesign is ok, but it doesn't have the zoom or page search functions that I require.  And of course they can't be read on the iPhone ... but if that is a comprimise I have to make then so be it.
Any and all suggestions are welcomed, thanks in advance.
Simon

Check out eDocker; http://www.edocker.com
eDocker2 Desktop Publisher helps you finalize your SWF (adds zoom, search, etc).
With eDocker Tablet Publisher you can export your InDesign layout as HTML5 and add some interactive features to it in eDocker´s page editor. After you are ready, you can publish it to your own server as HTML5.

  • Animation in Indesign CS6 export as a HTML for widget in iBA?

    Hi together,
    For me it`s the first question. I would like to animate pictures in iBooks Author. So I know about the tool hype. But I would like to use Indesign CS6 to create Animation files. I create a simple animation in CS6, export as a swf-file. Now I receive example.swf and example.html. Create a new folder with Default.png, Info.plist and example.html. The .swf file is in a folder named SWF. Next I create the folder  a .wdgt. Import in iBooks I read the main html-file is missing.
    Is my way possible: CS6 animation as a widget in iBooks Author? Or is it better to use other tools in the world of Apple like hype for example?
    Thanke and best regards
    Boris

    I'm quoting another post by Gadgetgurl42 here on a similar question...
    "iOS doesn't support swf as this is the exported verison of a Flash file. Putting the swf file into a widget won't change that fact.
    As sb0117 mentions, your best bet is to look at HTML5 animation."
    I wouldn't use Hype to create your assets as it's really quite limited in that respect, but create the assets in Photoshop and import into HYPE to create animation.
    I'd also do a couple of test files to check how the resulting animations look, full-screen on the iPad.
    Alternatively, if you're more familiar with Pages, etc, you could use Keynote as the learning curve might be easier.

  • InDesign CS6 ePub Export : Tables with header and footer in HTML

    Hey there,
    does anyone know, whether InDesign CS6 also exports Table Headers and footers correctly into the XHTML-File of the ePub.
    What I mean, is whether the elements <thead> and <tfoot> are created?
    Or is it only possible to steer this via the CSS-Classnames which can be given in the tableformats?
    Generally I think it would be better if the user had the chance to map other exporttags to its elements than just p, em, strong, h1-h6.
    it would be useful to also put in other elements by hand.
    Best regrads.

    By "also", do you mean the behavior is changed with respect to CS5/CS5.5? In those, thead and tfoot are created correctly. (Although, quite disconcerting, in the order "thead / tfoot / tbody". ePub renderers based on Webkit display them correctly nevertheless, but others do not. An extremely annoying free interpretation of the W3C rules.)

  • How to resolve "Your Trial Has Expired" message when launching InDesign CS6

    Hello, just joined the Creative Cloud via the "Free" option.  The Adobe Application Manager downloaded and installed after which I was presented the list of Adobe Products which I could "Try" for the 30-day trial period.  After installing InDesign CS6 for trial, I'm getting a "Your Trial has Expired" message when I launch InDesign C6.
    My PC environment is: Windows 7 Pro - SP1 (x64 bit)
    I do have Adobe Acrobat X installed (with Enfocus PitStop v10 plugin)
    Any thoughts as to what is causing this error??
    How do I resolve it??

    Hi MickyRatz,
    If the trial version indicates as being expired then it has expired. There is no way to extend the trial.
    You can find more details at Adobe trial software expired early -http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/trial-software-expired-early .html.

  • InDesign CS6 trial version no longer working...

    I have the trial version of InDesign CS6 installed. I was working in it last week and went in tonight and could not get in as the "continue trial" button was not available. I purchased a subscription however it said I needed to download InDesign CC. I am not able to download CC as it says InDesign does not support the current operating system. How is it that I was able to get in one week ago and now all of the sudden my operating system doesn't work?!

    ID CC and CS6 are two different versions. You can use CS6 via Creative Cloud by installing it under the "Otehr Versions" link from the ID icon on the web page for your CC account. for your serialization and activation issues refer to this:

  • InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 crashes on startup

    Hello out there
    I have a problem with InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and I'm really desperate right now...
    I've installed the CS6 Master Collection some days ago.. all programs (f.e. Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) are working fine, but InDesign doesn't.
    When I try to start it, it suddenly crashes during (or immediately after) the step "Starting up Service Registry":
    You can find the crash log here:
    http://db.tt/vzRV3kzt
    These are my computer facts:
    I really tried everything..
    For example I tried all those steps:

    and I also tried starting it in the Admin/Safety Mode.
    I also did some research in this forum, but couldn't find a solution...
    So, I have no further ideas how to solve that problem.
    Did anybody have the same problem? It would be really great if you could help me...
    I never had any problems with InDesign CS5 or earlier versions.

  • New laptop with InDesign CS6 installed will not allow mouse to click within the fly-out windows.

    At first, it wouldn't allow me to click on the Selector tool either; had to press "V" on the keyboard to toggle to it.  I can open and close the fly outs, but the mouse doesn't recognize anything clickable within the window itself, from the pages, to the styles etc.    I checked the other CS6 software, and no problem in either Photoshop or Illustrator (didn't go beyond those).   It's a new computer so there are no old version issues; we've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, including any updates and fixes out there.     Any ideas?  I'm dead in the water here....

    Success!  Found the answer here:

  • InDesign CS6 - Can you add Google Walking Tour into a PDF document or interactive pdf?

    Hello,
    I am trying to figure out how to add a Google Walking tour into my pdf document. I tried using the HTML feature in InDesign CS6 but all i get is a static image of a map. Acording to the features of InDesign this should be working correct? Please let me know if this is possible or not. Thank you!
    this is an example of the kind of a tour i am talking about:
    https://www.google.com/maps?q=churchill+downs+apartments&ll=39.668589,-104.889007&spn=0.00 7325,0.016512&sll=39.669082,-104.889653&layer=c&cid=6959793594299031036&panoid=xDKaTZWvSuU KbJAQUvKKcA&cbp=13,304.18,,0,0&hq=churchill+downs+apartments&t=m&z=17&cbll=39.66918,-104.8 90121
    I've copied the HTML that Google provides for embeding but no success yet. Thanks!

    That will work in DPS, but not, AFAIK, in PDF.

  • Can someone help with my download of inDesign CS6?

    We bought inDesign CS6 online, but it didn't come with a disk. Instead I was prompted to go to the following link http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    After downloading CS6 Design Standard (files 1 and 2), the larger of the two files was saved to my download folder as a 7Z file. The smaller file was the "extractor." I click on that and it gives me the folder location box, then I click next. At that point, the following message appears: "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder" After click OK, this message appears: "A problem occurred while extracting the archive. Please try downloading the Adobe CS6 Design Standard again." After clicking OK, this is the last message that comes up: "Exception EListError in module DesginStandard_CS6_LS16exe at 0001B6E3. List index out of bounds (0)," accompanied by the dreaded red X.
    This wasn't a cheap purchase. And my computer is only five months old, so memory shouldn't be an issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? For starters, an idea on how to open a 7Z file? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6

    Hi..I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6. The problem is that I have got a financial report of about 100pages to export as EPUB, with lots of graphs etc..and when I export it, to EPUB 2.0, the following happens:
    1. The image quality is quite low (even if the original images are of high quality, and during export, i put the image to max quality)
    2. The graphs do not appear where they should be! All the imags in fact appear after the long paragraphs of text..meaning everything appear quite messy and in an unordered manner.
    I have read that images should be anchored, and doing so, the result is quite better, but still, some images appear at the end of the text!!d
    That is, the end result, in terms of pagination and graphics, is no way like it should have been, compared to the indesign file (page 5 is displayed after page 10, image on page 4 appears on page 9 etc..)
    PLEASE HELP..
    P.S :
    I am using Adobe digital edition to view my EPUB..I have also tried CALIBRE and SIGIL!! But I am not too sharp in eiting CSS codes etc...

    Hi Akshay,
    If you want your images to appear standalone with no other page item on the page, then you can insert Page break on an image.
    This is how you can specify a page break:
    1. Select the image
    2. Goto Object->Object Export Options
    3. Select EPUB and HTML tab
    4. Select Custom Layout check box and then check Insert Page break. You can select from the option in the dropdown-Before Image, After Image, Before and After Image as per your requirement.
    Regarding your question about images:
    You export your graphs as JPEG but are those JPEGs of good resolution? If they are, then InDesign is doing something wrong during export but if the JPEGs are not of good quality then it is not an export issue. Please provide some more details here.
    Regards,
    Pooja

  • Having trouble exporting to pdf from InDesign CS6

    When I attempt to export to pdf from InDesign CS6, the application crashes. Apparently there is some phantom plug-in issue.
    I need to get this resolved asap.

  • Incorrect images from .indb file export to ePub in Indesign CS6

    I am having problems exporting images to ePub and get a different result from the same file depending on whether I export directly from the .indd file or from the .indb file.
    When I export to ePub from the individual chapter (.indd) file, everything is fine and the images appear in the correct locations where they have been anchored.
    When I export via the book  (.indb) file, images are being replaced with the incorrect file in the resulting ePub.
    Looking at the HTML, it seems not all images are being exported from the .indb file and when the image is missing, Indesign is substituting the next available image from the alphabetical list in the images folder so I'm getting incorrect images peppered throughout the book.
    Any idea where I've gone wrong and how to fix it? I've produced several ePubs with images and never come across this before.
    More details on how I've set up the files and any other info I think might be relevant below if needed.
    - I'm using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1)
    - I'm producing an 11 chapter book.
    - Each chapter is a separate .indd file for ease of editing.
    - These 11 files have been added to an .indb file for export to ePub.
    - Images are all anchored to their captions within the text.
    - On Export to ePub settings for images I have selected to insert a page break before the image and that settings apply to anchopred objects.
    Nothing else is selected (I don't want to preserve appearance from layout.)
    - I'm using the Articles panel feature for order of content.
    - In the original file supplied, the images were placed as .tiff images. I saved them to jpeg and relinked them using the "relink to folder" and "match same file but this extension" options.
    - No links are flagged as missing.
    Any help much appreciated.

    The solution points to how, it appears, the book panel export is functioning: each file exports a set of tags referenced to itself; file01 adds a "1" to its tags, and so forth. What I was able to do was use a file referencing all of the tags in the style suite in two ways:
    first, I exported to an epub the single file, creating a fairly clean CSS, which I then extracted and renamed;
    then, making certain that file was the "source" file in the book panel, I mapped for export all of the tags, being careful to be certain each tag/class combo was same as in renamed clean CSS;
    I synchronized the whole shebang;
    I exported to epub, adding my clean CSS as an external style sheet, selecting only "include embeddable fonts".
    Bingo!

  • Can't Successfully Click on Many Tools/Options in InDesign CS6

    I am a creative cloud member and I am having trouble with InDesign CS6.  Outwardly, it seems to install fine, but when I start it up I am unable to click on many of the options.  I can create a new document, and I can add a text box.  However, when I click to change any aspect of the font, nothing happens.  It is like I am not really clicking.  I am able to click and use the pen and text tool, but not the move arrow tool.  Interestingly, if I use the keyboard shortcut (V), I am able to switch to the move arrow.  Also, I can see the pages pallet, but I can’t successfully click on any aspect of it.  Likewise, I can view the layers pallet, but I can’t click the triangle next to layer 1 to open its contents.    I am confident that it’s not a problem with my mouse because I can consistently click on the text tool successfully, and also because all my other programs work normally. 
    I am a frequent user of Illustrator CS6 and Photoshop CS6, both of which work perfectly.  I have downloaded all of the latest updates for InDesign.  I am using a PC with Windows 7 64bit and 6mb of ram. 
    Thank you for any advice you can offer, --Kate
