Using indesign for a website

Can I build a book in InDesign and export it to my web design program? I'm looking to incorporate a "turn the page" book on my website. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thx, E.

If you're looking for the page curl that's a SWF feature. The SWF file can easily be placed into any webpage.

InDesign for wireframing websites?

Do any of you use InDesign for wireframing websites? I need to create a wireframe for a site. I was all prepared to do it in Fireworks. Fireworks has some fantastic features, but I need better PDFs than what it can export. (I tried every setting I could think of but PDFs created from my wireframes always looked fuzzy -- I guess Fireworks can't export vector into a PDF.) So next up: I was considering Illustrator. Then, I saw something on InDesign Secrets about how some folks use InDesign for wireframing. And I do know InDesign better than Illustrator. So wondering if I should try it that way. Do any of you use InDesign for that purpose? If not, got any recommendations for software for wireframing (something that will give me better PDFs than Fireworks)?
Thanks, Phyllis

Hey Phyllis!
So recently I've created a REALLY basic wireframe using InDesign. I basically created the visual direction so my client could easily understand how the Web site would flow. In other words, boxes with page names and lines connecting them. It can be really simple if all you're trying to do is show the site's direction.
From there, we will create the in-depth visual layout for the splash page, home page and a global page (This is where I utilize Photoshop/Fireworks/Illustrator or Flash). This is where we will dive into color schemes, and layout schematics. In our case, this a site where we have no logo established, but have the overall concept in place, so that's why we haven't decided on an overall theme just yet. Still working out the kinks!!
Hope this helps!

Use InDesign for online manual

Our training team would like to use InDesign to convert paper manuals to online manual.
What are the pros and cons of using InDesign for online manual. They also would like to have interactivity (e.g. exercises) created in certain part of the manual. Can it be done with InDesign? How easy is it to convert Word documents (it was originally created in) to InDesign and then to something viewable on SharePoint. What are the options in saving the files as interactive online manual? HTML? Flash? HTML5?
Thanks for your advice,

It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

How to use indesign for developing a magazine

Hi Friends,
i am using Indesign for the past 2 1/2 years. Now i have to use indesign for developing a magazine. But i come across few problems. Pls help me to solve.
1. the page dimension is 210 x 297 mm. i want a bleed area of 5 mm on each side. Then should i have the document size as 215 x 307 mm (for one side). Or is there any way to mark bleed.
2. Is there any scripts, especially to be used in pagination of the magazine.
3. I have placed Auto page number in the master page, but when im placing picture in a page for the full extent, the page number is not visible (as it is in the mater page). Should i manually type the page number there or any other way to do it.
4. Is there any exclusive tutorial to learn to the core about developing a magazine in indesign.
Should i furnish any more details?
Please help me in these problems. Thanks in advance to all.
regards
karthik.r

1. the page dimension is 210 x 297 mm. i want a bleed area of 5 mm on each side. Then should i have the document size as 215 x 307 mm (for one side). Or is there any way to mark bleed.
No you should make your indesign page size the size you want the magazine to be when trimmed. If it's 210 x 297 mm then make the size of your document that size.
When you make a new document you can click the More Options to reveal the bleed setting. Use 5mm for all sides.
Make your document using facing pages, you don't need bleed for the inside edges, as this for the spine. Make sure that all your images, backgrounds etc. go out as far (or beyond) the red line. You don't need to this for things that will not be near the edge of the page.
Set up a "Safe Area" for your images, that will be an area roughly 5 mm from each side where no text or anything will go near the edge of the page. If it goes beyond this area you should consider extending it into the bleed area.
DO NOT PUT TYPE near the edge of the page. Keep it well away, possibly 10 - 15mm.
2. Is there any scripts, especially to be used in pagination of the magazine.
Pagination is usually done by prepress when you send the final pdf. Setup your magazine with the pages flowing in sequential order, e.g., 1 - 100.
Make sure the amount of pages in the magazine is divisible by 4. That is, a 94 page magazine would not do, as that's 23.5. But a 92 page or 96 page would be better because it's dvisible exactly by 4, ideal for printing.
3. I have placed Auto page number in the master page, but when im placing picture in a page for the full extent, the page number is not visible (as it is in the mater page). Should i manually type the page number there or any other way to do it.
If you want page numbers on pages like this, you should think about putting master items on a new layer and sit that layer on top of all the other layers. You should also consider making different pages, based on the current Master Page (making child and parent masters

http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1323251&seqNum=12
http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1324255
You can google more yourself
But the idea is to make master pages with different coloured folios, like white folios for pages with dark images, as black folios would not show up. But it's up to you. It's best not to manually inser the page numbers.
4. Is there any exclusive tutorial to learn to the core about developing a magazine in indesign.
Three are no hard and fast rules about developing a magazine in InDesign. Follow a logical procession of thought. Start with thumbnails, develop sketches for each content, create content in InDesign, proof it, etc.
There are some pointers here http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/articles/Magazine_layout.htm
You should look into Grids http://www.thegridsystem.org/categories/templates/

Preparing images for Dreamweaver cs3, using InDesign for templates

Hi, I'm about to start putting all my files together for my
website, but need to know in what form to save my images. I know
they should be jpegs or gifs, but what resolution, and what size?
Should I size them close to the size I want to see them on my
website? For example if I want to make a little linked (like a
thumbnail that you click on) image of a painting, and have the full
size image of that painting open up, should I save that image in
two different sizes?
Also, the tutorial I'm learning from says I can make a
template for use in Dreamweaver, with Photoshop or Illustrator, but
I'd rather use InDesign. Can I use InDesign files as templates in
Dreamweaver? If so, in what form should I save them?

> Can I
> use InDesign files as templates in Dreamweaver?
it won't be of any practical use, except to print out and use
as a guide.
on the images, make them the PIXEL size they need to be in
the web page.
If you aren't sure yet what exact size they will be, make
them a bit
oversize. Then after changing the html display size of them
in dreamweaver
(click on the image, then press shift key and drag corner of
image to
resize) you can jot down the pixel size shown in the dw
properties
inspector, and resize the image in an image editor to those
pixel
dimensions. For a resolution, just use 72 ppi as a number to
put there.
It's the pixel dimension that matters.

How to use IWEB for multiple websites?

Okay.
I have two websites. One on a 3rd party, one on .MAC.
Computer 1 = .MAC website
Computer 2= 3rd party website
I want to use computer 2 to edit my .MAC website and moved the DOMAIN file but haven't open it in iWEB on the second computer as I need to know how to open and not destroy the 3rd party website.
How is this done?
Thanks.

You can rename the domain file to something descriptive of the site and open them manually. But I find it much safer to use iWebSites for managing multiple sites, over 25. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Using iweb for school website

Hi
This may have been answered before but I cant find it in the discussion. I want to set up a website for a very small school (24 students)using iweb. Do I have to use Apple for the ISP and if so is it the same rate as for a private individual?
Anyone out there done the same thing? I have been using the moogle style and they are unbelievably complicated for someone like me! Iweb seems to solve those tech problems and I would love to use it.
Thanks

It is extremely easy to produce a site like this within iWeb. Just start with a white template so that you can design is yourself as they have done.
To get the colours, what they have done and you can do is create a text box and then use either colour fill or gradient fill to achieve the contrast in colours. They have then placed photos and their logos over this. You could even achieve the same effect with a shape too with a rounded or a square edge that is colour or gradient filled.
For the navigation bars, all you need do is to go to the Inspector and hide the page template nav bar and create your own as they have done. They have probably created theirs by using either shapes or text boxes that are again colour/gradient filled. You can then enhance the look by using picture frames to make them stand out more. Don't forget to hyperlink them though. The other nav bar is just done using different text styles and colours.
It is really as simple as that and to make it even more effective you can change the colour of the page background and also the browser background for even more effect. Just open Inspector and go to Page Layout where all these changes can be made.

Proxy.pac file not working for using proxy for selected websites

After changing my ISP, i cant connect to Bluenest.org directly but with proxy. I can also connect by setting manual proxy server for all websites. But I dont want to do that as there is a bit security problem. I just wrote Proxy.pac files to use proxy sever for that particular website & put its location on Automatic Proxy Configuration. But its not working. I va tried with two types of .pac files. Given the code of the files below.....
First one..........
<pre><nowiki>
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if (shExpMatch(url, "http://bluenest.org") || localHostOrDomainIs(host, "http://www.bluenest.org"))
return "PROXY 204.45.138.4:80";
else
return "DIRECT";
</nowiki></pre>
Second one......
<pre><nowiki>function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if(!isResolvable(host))
return "DIRECT";
return "PROXY 204.45.138.4:80";
}</nowiki></pre>
but none of them working. Please help.
Can you please tell which proxy server is fastest & safest.
Thanx in advance

I submitted a bug report to Apple. The problem is present since 10.9.2, now with 10.10 and iOS. I hope they will take this problem seriously.

Should I use flex for my website

Hey, I am having trouble figuring out if I should be using
flex for a site similar to the BBC site:
http://www.bbc.co.uk. I have
started the site in flex but I am running into a lot of problems.
It could be that I am a newbie to Flex, but wanted to make sure if
I should still be going a head with this in Flex. Any advice would
be appreciated.
Thank you,
Vinny

I would say that if you don't know the answer to that
question, then the
answer is probably no. You need to have a pretty firm
understanding of how
sites like that work under the hood before trying to build
one in Flex.

I am having problems exporting to PDF using InDesign for Mac.

Hi all!
I just started using the Creative Suite on Mac and have run into a couple problems. One is that when I set up a document in InDesign using "Facing Pages" and then export to PDF, the document exports each set of "Facing Pages" as one singular spread (my 20 page InDesign document becomes a 10 page PDF). Once it is a PDF, there are no page break lines in the center of the spread to indicate that they are two separate pages, and when I try to set up viewing preferences in Acrobat (single or double page), it too recogrnizes each spread as a single page.
When I used to do this in InDesign using Windows, whether I exported to PDF or printed to PDF from a document set up with "Facing Pages," each page would still be considered separate once converted to PDF (20 page InDesign docment becomes a 20 page PDF).
This also leads me to my next question : I see that on Mac, there is no option for printing to PDF, but I notice a quality difference specifically when it comes to linework (vector information) that has been "placed" in the document from Illustrator. Is there any way to achieve the quality of printing to PDF on Mac?
Thank you in advance!
Gabby

Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
Unless you know something else I can do...
Best, Marilyn

Detecting if the user doesnt use InDesign for a certain time

Hi,
I made an InDesign CS3 plug-in that logs in to an extern program.
What I now want is to detect if InDesign isn't used for 5 minutes.
So I can log off the extern program automatically after these 5 minutes.
Many thanks,

hi Harshmeet,
you can use Alerts (reminder) to show your message on contextArea on Web Client (IC scenario).
but if you really want to trigger a popup, I think the easiest way is to use JavaScript on the HTML page like:
