Indesign file to HTML
How can convert 140 pages indesign file to HTML ?
What is the purpose of this exercise? If all you want is raw html just export for Dreamweaver. Good luck with the mess you'll wind up with.
With a document that large you should exporting small pieces.

Does the Digital Publishing Suite publishes only for tablets? can I publish my indesign file to html only using DPS?
DPS will not do what you want and neither with anything else without at
least some work.
HTML out of InDesign is for content only, not layout. There is a new
product out there you can try, however:

Help! InDesign file to HTML for email
Yes, I know, I do everything with InDesign and have successfully for years. When I had to design an email blast, I designed it in InDesign, and sent it to a company to convert it to html for me, and then they sent it out with our list as a blast.
My new company, does everything internally, and wants me to do a email blast, and they're real cheap on sending anything to a vendor for help. I don't work at all in DreamWeaver, and know nothing about html.
Is there any 'easy' way to take a document in Indesign and get it into html, or something suitable for an email blast????? Or save it in such a way, it can be brought into Constant Contact????? Arghhhhhhh......The best advice I can give you is to use Constant Contacts free HTML email templates: http://www.constantcontact.com/email-marketing/html-email-templates/index.jsp
These templates are easy enough to edit and have a foundation already set for email clients. Typically they will be constructed in tables with inline CSS. Constant Contact also have basic templates without any design: http://www.constantcontact.com/email-marketing/html-email-templates/basic.jsp
Using InDesign for this job is really not the way to go. In fact, using any graphic application other than an HTML editor is only going to give you a headache. If this is going to become a regular thing in your job, start learning HTML and make your life that little bit easier. There are a vast amount of resources available online to help you get the basics down.

URGENT!
Hi,
I need to set up and save documents in ID and save them as HTML to be used in email so that all elements - text boxes, text, pics, positions, styles etc - are retained and not lost.
Surely this must be easy?
I can't get it to work when I EXPORT as HTML. what am I missing?
I appreciate your swift help
Matt BAs the others have mentioned, this will never produce the desired result for email marketing. I think John covered this but HTML email is a unique animal all by itself - it can challenge even the most seasoned web developer because you have to deal with different email clients and not browsers - email clients are far tricker to code for. You need to use tables, inline CSS and ensure the code is as clean as can be. Dreamweaver (or other HTML coder) is definitely the way to go - forget InDesign and instead use Photoshop for the images.
Peter's suggestion of Mail Chimp is a good one as they have a huge amount of ready made templates that have been tested in all these email clients - you just add the images and content. If you want to go it your own way, this would be a good place to start: http://htmlemailboilerplate.com/
For reference you can also check out: http://24ways.org/2009/rock-solid-html-emails/. If you do decide to do this, I would then travel over to the Dreamweaver forum and ask any further questions there.
Sorry. I'm sure this is not the answer you wanted.

Embedding HTML file in folio causes other indesign files to be embedded into article
For our upcoming issue we have the following files:
COVER_Apr.indd
COVER_horz.indd
Calendar_Apr.indd
Chef_Tournedos.indd
Home_hybrid.indd
Kristen_Campo.indd
List_April.indd
Look_Back.indd
Masthead_Apr.indd
Pam_Sherman_Touch.indd
Review_Lucano.indd
Shop_talk_ChicFeet.indd
Short_festival.indd
Showtime.indd
SotH_Fondue.indd
TOC_Apr.indd
Taste_Test_Caesar.indd
editors_letter.indd
editors_letter_embed.html
When adding editors_letter.indd to a folio, (which uses a web content overlay of editors_letter_embed.html) inside of it, it seems that the other indesign files are added inside the article causing it to be nearly 40Mb. (I can tell this is happening because when updating the article it says
Adding File ...TOC_Apr.indd
Adding File... Shop_talk_ChicFeed.indd
..etc
If I remove the web content overlay, it is much smaller. (The total folio size)Made a subfolder inside current folder and it seems to NOT add the other files now.

How do I look at HTML & CSS of InDesign files
I'd like to change the HTML and CSS of my pages. How can I do this? Can I do this with snippets? How can I see the HTML and CSS of my various InDesign files? Is is possible?
When you export either an EPUB or HTML file, the paragraph styles, character styles, object styles, etc. are "translated" into HTML and CSS. However, it's an imperfect process because of the differences between the two types of styling.

Whenever I export my interactive indesign file to swf the videos won't play in the resulting html file, it's just a black screen. I'm using .mp4 videos as well.
Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
Thank youUnless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library. How is the flash drive formatted? If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database. -
Import InDesign files into RoboHelp HTML
Hello,
My company is moving toward online help. We currently use InDesign to author our manuals and then export them to pdf for publication. I've been on the phone with Adobe trying to see if there's a way to easily import InDesign into RoboHelp. We're on an older version of RoboHelp, so I'm told this is possible, but I can't get any help until we buy RoboHelp9. I know that we can import our pdfs into RoboHelp--I'm just wondering if there's a way to import InDesign files directly into RoboHelp. Has anyone tried to do this? Anyone have any suggestions? It seems these two programs should play nice together, doesn't it?
LouleyHi there
To my knowledge it is not possible to accomplish. I've been using RoboHelp since 1992 and I've never seen it done.
The only way I can fathom it working would be if InDesign could save as an HTML page. Then import the HTML. Or possibly produce a PDF from InDesign, then import that. But even importing the PDF may not give you the results you want.
Cheers... Rick

I have a page of text with hyperlinks in a master indesign file.
I place that file into another indesign file.
(It is like an html include file for a webpage.In this way i only have to update the file in one place.)
But when i export the indesign file to pdf, the hyperlinks fail to work.
They work in the original but not in the second.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Abby EagleMy apologies. My tests were done using URLs. They function in Acrobat regardless of their state in InDesign.
Aside to Bob: Since I had just made a PDF that worked, I mistook your "Since when" to mean since when won't a placed ID file work? I guess I was blind sided by the fact that the only hyperlinks I ever come into contact with are full URLs.
If Abbey's situation is as I envisioned -- that the placed files are more akin to smaller graphics within the layout of a page rather than discreet pages at all -- then is this not a insolvable problem given how InDesign works now? -
Parts of masked line art and text appearing in PDF and (some) in InDesign files
Hello Adobe community,
I was wondering if someone can shed any light on an issue (or possibly 2 issues) I am having. I am using CC on a Mac. Software versions are Illustrator CC 17.1, InDesign 10.1.0.71, Acrobat 11.0.07.
Firstly in InDesign there is some screen residue appearing on the frame edge. The problem seems to be sporadic and not on every page of a 100pg+ document. The residue is appearing from a vector file of a map and this part of the map is masked with a compound path in Illustrator. The following is a screen snapshot of the Indesign file. (The little red arrow is not part of the file - it's just pointing out the problem)
The placed Illustrator file looks like this. The following snapshots shows the .ai file, the isolated compound path and outline mode showing what is happening beyond the compound path.
The horizontal arrow in the above (outline) snapshot shows part of the art that then occurs in the pdf. The vertical arrow shows where the compound path begins.
When I make a pdf not only does the fine line occur but part of the art beyond the compound path occur.
First arrow indicates fine line. Second arrow indicates the part of the masked artwork that is showing.
If anyone could suggest what may be causing this issue, that would be tremendous. I also cannot understand why this happens with just some of the masked artwork.
Thanks in advance

You should try to persuade Illy to update to 18.1.1.
You may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.

Exporting a InDesign file to Flash Catalyst...
Hi all,
I'm just startede exploring Flash Catalyst, and have learned a lot by using a Illustrator file.
But now my question is how to import a Indesign file into FC. I have read that it is possible throurgh some additional steps in Flash Pro. But I can figure out or read how to do it,,,
Can anyone help me?
It is a book created in Indesing, that I want to create as a swf, with the advanced features of FC. The features in Indesigns interactivity, isn't quite enough for my hunger to make it more web-eatable.. :-)
Hope to hear from some of you!
Enjoy the hollidays!
KapirsHi,
Thanks for the reply. Thats what i was looking for . Another small thing I notice here is that when i export to html a preview of the html was displayed in the browser. I think thats because the "View HTML after export option is enabled by default. Can I change this setting so that there will be no preview of the HTML after exporting?. Again thanks for the previous answer. -
Elearning suite to Learning Management System (LMS) - how-to from an InDesign file?
We need to be able to export InDesign files to a portable SCORM format that could be loaded into various Learning Management Systems (LMS) – however, it is not obvious how we would do this? We need to publish our documents both in a book\PDF format and to various LMS systems such as Blackboard, Moodle, Angel, Desire2Learn, etc.
What am I trying to accomplish? Many of our College and University clients use Learning Management Systems (LMS). SCORM is a standardized interchange format used to provide internet ready information (e-book data, test questions, etc.) to any LMS systems. We need to export formatted InDesign documents – which for us are our Lab Manual (book) publications which include: text, graphics, pictures, etc.
Adobe advertises SCORM compatibility as part of its e-learning suite: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elearningsuite/els/extensions/WSD40882CF-6 C5C-46c0-8D51-273830EB036B.html --- however, I cannot find anyone who can tell me how to get there from InDesign.
In addition, I find it very frustrating that after many calls to Adobe sales and technical staff that I can't find anyone who can help me with the details of how to get from InDesign to Adobe's "SCORM Packager" See: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/01/scorm_packager.html which I believe is a part of the e-learning suite.
Is it possible to find a high level technical resource within Adobe that I could talk to who could help me with this issue --- we need to test the ability to produce SCORM compatible files from our InDesign files before we can make a purchase decision.Adobe's Multi SCORM Packaging tool is designed to take existing single SCORM packages (in zip file format) and merge them into a multi SCORM package with a rewritten imsmanifest.xml file at the root level to tell the LMS what the package contains. This allows the LMS to build the array of links that its SCORM player requires to allow the course user to navigate from one module to another.
So if InDesign is not currently capable of creating even a single SCO SCORM package, the Adobe Multi-SCORM Packaging tool is not going to be much use to you.
In reality, the Adobe tool is quite limited in functionality. It's more designed as an add-on for Captivate to allow multi-SCORM courses to be created. Your best bet would probably be to investigate other SCORM packaging tools such as RELOAD that allow you to take content created elsewhere and add them to a SCORM package as resources.
You may need to export your InDesign content as PDF files and have these set up as individual resources or assets in the SCORM package.
However, for any of this to work with an LMS is going to require the final package to have a SCORM API (done with JavaScript) so that user interaction with the individual components of the course is relayed back to the LMS via JavaScript variables. Packaging tools such as RELOAD may be able to do this with some types of content (e.g. HTML) but I don't know if InDesign output is going to be compatible with this approach.
Have you designed your InDesign course content with interactivity in mind, or is it just straight content delivered in a documentation format? -
Indesign file re-open causes freeze/hang - but not on other Macs in the studio
Hi,
I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 and Indesign CS3 5.0.4, as are the other 4 Macs in our studio.
I created a document on my machine, saved it to the network and have now come to edit it again; the machine freezes every time now when I try to open the file.
The file opens perfectly on any of the other machines in the studio. I have tried resaving, copying/pasting content to a new document, saving as an Exchange format and nothing seems to work.
I've run Onyx system tools, cleanded the caches etc, even verified Hard disk and Permissions using Mac OS installer CD.
All other indesign files I have tried to open using my Mac are fine, open with no problems.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I can post the report Mac OS generates if that would help anyone.
Thanks in advance,
Roland Kasickiquicktime is a program not a format
even .mov is not a format but a container which can contain a vide range of formats
the core of your problem is finding out what the format of your files are
and if they are on the list of supported formats
if they are not you will have to convert your media

converting them should not reduce quality at all
