Release 6
When an article (called a “stack” at the time) is flattened, each page in the article essentially becomes a separate article,
allowing customers to scroll horizontally to view the pages of an article. Only the first page of a flattened article shows up in the TOC, but all the
pages appear in Browse mode and as scrubber thumbnails. You cannot flatten a article that is set to smooth scrolling.
You can now build an entire interactive issue without an OverlayResources folder. In previous releases,
the source files for overlays had to be in the OverlayResources folder, and the exported SWF files had to be in the Links folder of the documents
in which they were placed.
The PNG file for the table of contents that was previously required is now optional. If your article folder does not have a
PNG file, the Content Bundler generates a TOC icon automatically based on the first page of the article.
In addition to PNG and JPEG, the Bundler can output page images in PDF format. Using the PDF image format significantly
reduces the file size and offers additional possibilities for future releases such as pinch and zoom and searching and selecting text.
You can now use either InDesign files or HTML files to create articles in an issue. When you create an article using HTML files,
you can use the same HTML file for both orientations, or you can create separate HTML files for horizontal and vertical orientations.
For InDesign articles, the Viewer automatically generates the thumbnails that appear when you drag the scrubber.
However, generating thumbnails for HTML articles takes more time, sometimes resulting in poorly rendered thumbnails. To improve thumbnail
performance in HTML articles, you can allow the Bundler to generate thumbnail images based on the first page of each HTML article, or you can
manually add image files to the HTML article folders.
Users complained that the scroll bar to the right of each article was too thin, so we widened the scroll bar. We also
improved the appearance and performance of page thumbnails in Browse Mode.
Scrollable content frames are now transparent by default. If you don’t want the contents of the container
frame to appear, apply a fill to the content frame.
In the Content Bundler, the Issue Title metadata text never appeared anywhere in the Viewer, so this option was removed, as
was the Dimension/Type Settings information. In addition, the Use Cover option was changed to Include Cover.
Release 5
The only way to create interactive slideshows and hyperlinks is through native features. Use the Object
States panel, the Buttons panel, and the Hyperlinks panel to create interactive objects. Change settings by typing the appropriate lines in the Script
Label panel. (We hope to include a UI for these settings in the next release.)
You can create navigation buttons that jump to the next or previous slides in the slideshow. If you add the
“SS_swipeEnabled=yes” line to the Script Label panel when the multi-state object is selected, users can swipe to scroll through slides in a
slideshow.
You can now create hyperlinks or buttons that jump to a specific page within an article.
You can specify navtos hyperlinks using either of the target article’s source document names, with or without the
.html or .indd extension.
You can create a portrait-only or landscape-only issue. Simply include only the portrait or landscape InDesign
documents in the issue folder. The issue maintains its orientation even if the iPad is rotated.
When creating a Web View overlay, you can specify an HTML file from your computer. In the
