First Look: InDesign CS5.5

Just spent a day getting out of the InDesign print world into the InDesign digital publishing world and my head’s still spinning. I’ve published a few local history books in ID and converted them easily to PDF for iPad viewing. I’ve also done a couple of pieces in ePub format but I was interested in learning about the wider multimedia possibilities that ID 5.5 offers – embedded video, audio and interactive objects.

At the end of the day I’m not sure if I really know what I’m doing but I’ve got a rough three-page document ready for enclouding in the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. I’ve got a text box (duh!) an image you can zoom and pan on, an image you can explore through 360 degrees, a movie, an audio file and a slideshow

So how did I get here? Start with ID 5.5. The .5 upgrade is mostly about digital publishing and has some powerful new tools to get you there.

I started with a couple of videos on the Adobe site by guru Terry White (no relation) which gave me a glimpse of the path I needed to follow. Yes ID 5.5 has powerful tools which do a lot of work for you but that doesn’t mean no pain at all. For starters I found I needed to download Adobe Air and then its satellite Adobe Content Viewer (both free). I also found I needed to make the acquaintance of some new items in ID’s Window menu. Firstly Articles which holds the various components of my publication; then Extensions which contains the Overlay Creator and the Folio Builder which I shall explain shortly; and finally Interactive which contains nine tools to make the interactivity work.

Given the choice of using a finished ID document or starting from scratch I chose the latter, choosing Web rather than Print, which I had been advised was more suited to my digital destination. As well as the choice of Portrait or Landscape orientation there was also a Both option. As this involved some extra work I courageously avoided it.

I imported a .doc into a text frame (good) and then a TIF image (bad). JPEG or PNG please. I set the imported image into a smaller frame so I could use the Pan and Zoom features from the Overlay Creator panel. Clicking Preview launched the Content Viewer. To simulate the iPad environment click to simulate tapping and drag to simulate swiping. Use the + and – keys to simulate pinching. All worked fine as I moved my pic across, in and out with my mouse. You can also press R to rotate between portrait and landscape orientations if you have taken the trouble to use the Both option mentioned before.

Google's fast Web protocol gains a little speed

Why so cheap? In general it is 100% fully functional software. But it lacks manuals, promo-discs and bulk-boxes. It’s normal for OEM software to be cheap. That is what makes OEM software cheap. Not only that cuts down the price of OEM software. Wholesale has always been cheaper than retail. All programs are the 100% full working versions. There is absolutely no shipping needed.
