This is an intensive one day course for existing InDesign users that aims to introduce a wide range of functionality available in InDesign for producing interactive PDF, SWF and EPUB documents. The goal is to understand the possibilities, both the strengths and limitations, of each of these export options and then begin to build interesting, engaging and compelling interactive InDesign documents.
To examine a variety of techniques for setting up navigation systems in interactive documents. To integrate video and audio within interactive documents. To create a variety of animations and control the sequence in which they play. To integrate multi-state objects and transitions into interactive documents. To understand which options are specific to PDF or SWF and which are available for both.
