Limitations of indesign flash page turner

Hello,
We have a company newsletter that we wish to launch digitally as a document that can be:
a) be viewed as spreads
b) incorporate a realistic page turning action
c) has a zoom function.
InDesign has a function that will turn the PDF into a Flash file where the page turning function works. Unfortunately, there is no zooming option, and when viewers click on the page (the text is too small in this format), it opens up a PDF of that particular side of the spread, defeating the purpose of a special format where you can turn pages realistically. There is a program called Page Turn Pro which incorporates all of these functions, but it is very expensive, at hundreds of dollars per year. Are there any other alternatives out there?
Thanks,
Neal

  • Adobe pdf to Flash page turning book

    First of all apologies as this isn't strictly an Indesign itself question - more the end product of Indesign brochure query.
    Can anyone recommend a particular professional PDF to Flash page  turning book effect software. I've googled but there's a fair few out  there and not sure which to go for. Anyone recommend a software in  particular or know if any have been approved by Adobe? This is following  a request by corporate client of mine but I'm stuck on which one is  best to go for.
    Thanks

    eDocker is not a PDF to Flash FlipPage software, it´s more like InDesign to Flash FlipPage solution, but it´s aproved by Adobe.
    You can download trial version from Adobe Marketplace at:

    Thanks for your reply Dave
    Just tried exporting an ID file using the swf export settings but it does seems to be just be limited to a page curl effect. Is good but not quite what I'm after. What I need is something that produces page turns, zoom in and out options, a 'go to locked pdf' version and a print option that prints from the pdf and not the swf. Not sure this can be done in the ID export menu? I might be missing something though - so really after recommendations on software that would let me to do this to a pdf but not sure which would be best choice out of the options that are out there.
    Really appreciate your help.

  • Flash page-turn quality

    Ho do I maintain image quality in a flash page-turn. I create the pages in InDesign and export as a swf file then import to flash. Once I export the movie from flash the images are degraded. Especially noticable in zoom mode.

  • Flash Page Turn etc

    I want to create a page turn effect in Flash, but not just
    simply that... I want the user to be able to search the text, links
    to be active... Am I better off just using Flash Paper?

    A quick right-click tells me it's done with a program called
    iPaper. I'd have a quick look at their site or consider purchasing
    their product as it's often easier not to reinvent the
    wheel.

  • InDesign: Creating interactive PDFs with Page Turn and Flash animations | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV

    This episode gives an answer to a question Rufus hears very frequently: "Can I have page turns and animations created in Adobe InDesign in a PDF?" - The answer is yes. Find out how.
    http://adobe.ly/wmHCbl

    Not an expert, but would think you still get 508 compliance by the normal PDF reader controls  -- the page curls are visual extras only.
    I understand these 'techniques' perfectly -- but they sure seem awkward.
    - why doesn't InDesign properly emit the combination page turner PDF in one step?
    - why doesnt InDesign show the actual background of the embedded Flash animation as it will be, and why doesn't it allow you to set background transparency right there in InDesign, again showing you what the result will be?
    I hope this is done in such a straightforward and clear way, in InDesign CS6.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Can we keep page turn and accessibility in InDesign/PDF CS6?

    Hi there
    I have been working on an accessible PDF for awhile now and my client wants this doc look more interesting by applying 'page turn' and animation. Understanding we only could export as SWF for the page turn functionality but at the same time we lose all the accessibility. Is there anyway we can keep both? If it's not, are there any software to do that?
    Also, for my understanding, these SWF files are not compatible with iOS device except Android? Ummm its a bit of drag when you can export SWF from InDesign and yet can not be view in Apple??
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Cheers
    Karen

    There are some solutions outside InDesign which will convert pages with page flip effect compatible with iOS.
    At the moment is a cheap offer available, for this price nothing to do wring: Convert PDFs into Interactive Animated Publications - only $9.97! - MightyDeals

  • I am looking to have a page-turning feature in Flash

    Boss wants the page-turning look - does Adobe have a plug-in for Flash CS4 or what would you recommend?

    Best would be to grab the source here: http://pageflip.hu/ (even think about paying for the not free version) more feaures, faster, AS3

  • Can you automate 'page turn' transition when exporting a document to Flash?

    I have created a multi-page document with a page turn transition which I have exported to Flash to upload to a website. The page turning works fine manually but I want to automate the effect, remaining on each page for 30 seconds before automatically turning. Is there a way of doing this? Any advice gratefully recieved!

    Only if you export using File > Export > Adobe PDF  (Interactive). Not if you're using File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print),

  • Trying to make a page turning book on a Mac in InDesign, won't work

    I have been trying for a few days to create an interactive book (where the pages turn) but when I go to preview the navigation button won't work (they show the roll over but don't actually move to the next page).  Also I try to export and save as a .swf file but it says that it is 'not supported'.  Can anyone help, I would be very grateful!

    Alright thanks! Ok this is what happens in my end:
    - The interactive PDF you sent me works fine. The iD file opens fine as well and is exactly the same process so that checks.
    -I exported your iD file to .swf, created a new iD document and imported the exported .swf file from the file you created. I exported this new document to interactive PDF. I open it and again I click the links and only google chrome windows open
    This is the link it probably works fine on your end
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/on5tun0v0eunjhu/buttons%20email%20text%20swf%20imported%20to%20i nteractive%20pdf.pdf
    I think there is something going on in my end. "Google Chrome" or "Flash" might be intersecting email links or something becuase I cannot get these .swf + interactive pdf combo to open the email client not even after I used your iD file, exported .swf, imported it and export again to interactive pdf.
    Again the interactive pdf you sent works fine and when I export my file to interactive pdf it works on my end as well, its only after i export to swf and then I use the file inside iD and export to interactive pdf that it does causes me trouble. I will see what I can do to fix this. At least it was working for you so if its only in my end then its not that bad but it will bugg me forever haha!
    Thanks again for your help!! Sorry to take your time Salah!

  • InDesign - page turn option

    How can I convert an existing InDesign file to incorporate 'page turn' transitions prior to creating a PDF for use on a website please?

    I know how to add the button to every page using Master pages, but  the problem is, when you turn the page, the button turns with it.
    I want the button to NOT turn with the page. That is my question here. How to turn pages WITHOUT turing the button?
    I want to do this in InDesign without purchasing seperate loader.

  • Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

    I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
    If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.
