Is it possible to convert InDesign to html?

A client of mine want to convert an existing design—all finished in InDesign, into an html file. I know there is an expot function, but all it does it grab the text and images—but not the design or the layout. I guess what I am looking for is to conver the page the way a pdf would—hold the design and layout, but saved as a pdf. I want to hold the design and layout but saved as an html.
Possible or do I need to recreate the item in GoLive, Dreamweaver or other software?

Can't be done easily and for the most part shouldn't be. Print layouts are far different than web layouts. If they want an exact duplicate then post a PDF.

  • Possible to convert PDF to HTML?

    Hello, I basically want to take this fancy PDF I created that has a ton of hyperlinks and beautiful images into an HTML version for the web (on Wordpress).  Is this possible and if so, could you please point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!
    EDIT: I have tried "save as HTML" and it totally messed up my pdf

    Your best bet is as Graffiti said recreate  in BreamWeaver or something similar.
    You could simply somewhat by taking the original document you used to convert the Document If it was a Word Document To save it as an HTML document.
    Then use DremWeaver's setting to "Fix Word HTML" to  make it W3C compatible HTML.  That would save some typing.

  • Is it possible to convert mhtml (mime html) to a PDF?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if its possible to publish a dynamically generated HTML (may contain tables/text/pics/anything) in PDF using XML Publisher. If so, how, any pointers to examples and/or documentation?
    Thanks,
    Chiru

    The InDesign method Steve mentions is the best option. You can also place it in Illustrator as an import but you'll need to have the same fonts as the PDF file. This option will allow you to edit the files, pending what objects are editable. It will have a few quirks, and the text lines might be separate objects.
    I'd go InDesign, but just in case you don't have ID, you can use Illustrator, but be prepared for a little work.

  • Is it possible to convert inDesign files to jpeg (for web) without fonts breaking up?

    We want to include some of our layouts as case studies on our website. The idea is that a preview image will, on rollover, produce a larger version of the image/layout as part of a case study - full size image dimensions from, say, 400px x 300px. However, using the export command (CS3) produces poor quality text even at 'Maximum' at 300ppi - to say nothing of the unacceptable file size! Site to be constructed in Flash. Any ideas?? Thanks. Alex

    My apologies if I sounded harsh. I didn't mean to be.
    I just wish the world would recognize that there is no such thing as "screen resolution" or "web resolution" in the sense that 72 ppi is an "appropriate" number. When you "save for the web" in Photoshop you are doing any number of things, including downsampling to reduce the number of pixels in the image, and adding compression to make the files smaller still so they will load faster, both of which can make your image useless for print purposes.
    That the default might be to save at 72 ppi is irrelevant -- it's just a convenient number. If you open your freshly saved image in Photoshop and go to the Image Size dialog, uncheck "resample image" and change the resolution, you'll see that the file size and pixel counts remain unchanged (along with the screen dispaly in Photoshop), because the image data is unchanged. All you have done is say "If you choose to print this image at 100% size, it should be x units wide and y units tall, and should have (whatever the the value you used) pixels per unit." You can freely scale this, if you wish, knowing the "effective" resolution varies in reverse proportion to the scaling factor.
    If you put this image on the web, it will have whatever pixels were saved, regardless of how large or small (in print) those pixels would be rendered.

    HTML to PDF with Java, using OpenOffice.org - example here: [http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/|http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/]
    You can use OpenOffice.org, running as a server and command it remotely for document convertion.
    Besides HTML to PDF, there are also possible other convertions:
    doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
    xls --> pdf, html, csv
    ppt --> pdf, swf
    Code example:
    import officetools.OfficeFile; // this is my tools package
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("c:/test.html"));
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:/test.pdf"));
    // suppose OpenOffice.org runs on localhost, port 8100
    OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
    f.convert(fos,"pdf");

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to convert HTML to XML in as2?

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop a stock widget to use in my mobile using flashlite 2.x.
    I have chosen "http://charting.nasdaq.com" to obtain 5days chart /6months chart..
    But I am not able to use XML object for this and parse.. The values are in table format.. So I have to use LoadVars.. but writing a AS2 code
    to obtain values like High/Low price of the stock or volume is very lengthy since the data obtained are not in XML format..
    i tried this
    var example_xml:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    example.ignoreWhite = true;
    example_xml.load("http://charting.nasdaq.com/ext/charts.dll?2-1-14-0-0-75-03NA000000www-&SF:4|5-WD=539-HT=39 5--XTBL-");
    example_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
         if (success == true) {
              trace(example_xml);
    Is it possible to convert them to xml and use relevent methods or xml properties?
    If I use example_xml:XML = new XML() then tracing example_xml (as above) doesn't give any data
    Any help?

    I had a project a few years ago where I converted 10s of thousands of TestStand HTML files from TS 1.0 and 3.0.
    Most of what I did is specific to our internal data structures, but I'll try to help get you started.
    The general idea is to pick out the report header and data sections from each file, then eliminate the HTML formatting.
    The attached file will extract the Report Header and data sections.
    To use this, you will need to download this additional VI that I posted here in the regex board a few years ago.
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Regular-Expressions-Board/m-p/1269088#M14343
    Here is one more file that will parse out each data record and dtermine it's Name, status, type value, limits and duration/timestamp info
    Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
    If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

  • Is it possible to leverage InDesign Server templates in a custom web app?

    Hi there,
    I am building a custom web app and was hoping to leverage our existing InDesign Server templates within our web app. What I would like to do, is based on user input, show my template with the user's input in the browser. I have looked through the API guides for InDesign Server CS6, but I haven't been able to conclusively find anything that will allow me to use the APIs to call the server, send the data points the template requires, and then get an image back from the server.
    I believe this is possible, I am just not sure how to achieve it! Any ideas or articles that help push me in the right direction would be extremely helpful!
    Thank you!
    Marshall

    Yes it's completely possible. There are two parts to making something like this work:
    1. The scripts themselves. You can generally script InDesign Server and desktop InDesign exactly the way using ExtendScript. So that's the part of the process where your script receives variables and passes them into the template and replaces something you've identified as variable, whether text or an image or something else (perhaps a color theme, etc.). You should get your scripts running on desktop before playing around with server.
    2. The messaging between your web app and the server. Whatever language you are using (i.e. PHP, .Net, Java, Ruby…) there is a way to make a SOAP call to InDesign Server to tell it basically "run this script with these parameters". You should get the "hello world" script running from a SOAP call on the server before using your real variable-driven document.
    The documentation of these things is available here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
    You need to download the InDesign Server SDK (don't worry if you're on CC and it says CS6, almost nothing changed) and the InDesign Scripting SDK. The Server SDK deals with part #2 above, the Scripting SDK with part #1.
    It really isn't that hard. I should warn you, though, that it is addictive and once you do your first one you will become all-powerful and want to do nothing else. :-)
    Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.

  • Is it possible to convert .doc to pdf  ?

    Hi..
    I am very new to Livecycle Workflow...! I just want to know whether it is possible to convert .doc to pdf  ?
    Just by googling i came to know that CreatePDF2 Service will do this Conversion ! But it throws me an Exception like "Conversion Exception :" Cannot connect to Adobe Service "...!
    Can u guys pls help me out to slove the problem ?
    Thanks & Regards
    Karthik.

    you don't know the format of a word doc? well, that's good for you because it's a nightmare.
    - check POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html) to see if you can load-up the .doc then generate the .pdf with iText
    - personally i use the Open Office Bean to open the .doc, i save it in .sxw (OO format which is a jar of different XML files), then i use XSLT to transform content.xml in .fo then use FOP to build the PDF. sounds crazy but works fine (only on a machine with graphic support - not via Telnet, etc...)

    I realize English is probably not your first language, but you are not really making sense. Perhaps you could use more words and write in more detail.
    It seems you already have your script in AppleScript. Why do you need to convert it to JavaScript?
    It's going to be inconvenient at best and probably not worth anyone's time.
    Just use the AppleScript.

  • Emac OSX 10.3.9 Possible to convert to Linux OS ???

    Folks,
    I have two pretty much pristine emac's that are running fine. Probably 5-6 years old. I am curious as to whether it's possible to convert these to Linux OS. How would this be done (internet?). Anyway at least one of is destined for donor or recycle. The others maybe too, if I can't find a good use for these. We now have 2 MB pro's, 2 emac's, a IBM PC, and a gaming pc and I wish to simplify / cutback on this clutter.

    If a mac can run OS X, it can also run Linux. See http://lowendmac.com/misc/06/0918.html

    That depends. If you bought the disc version, you're good to go, since your serial number works on both platforms, so just install the mac version. If you lost the discs or your mac doesn't have a disc drive, you can download it here:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10 <https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html>
    However, if you bought the windows version as a download, you're out of luck. Adobe does do a crossgrade, but for older versions you have to pay to upgrade to current version on the new platform, and that's more expensive than just buying it, if you search around for a good price.
