Create source InDesign documents (InDesign CS5 and CS5.5)
1. In InDesign CS5 or InDesign CS5.5, choose File > New > Document.
2. (Optional) For Intent, choose Web.
Choosing Web makes the layout easier to work in for mobile devices. If you’ve already created a document with Intent set to Print, you
cannot change it to Web. However, you can manually change the settings.
3. For Page Size, specify the dimensions of the device reader.
The standard definition iPad models use 1024x768 pixels. The high definition iPad uses 2048x1536. For best results, create a 1024x768
document, and use PDF image format so that the content looks good on all iPads.
A 6-pixel area on the right side of the page is cropped on the mobile device. The actual design area is 1018x768 (or 762x1024) pixels for
SD iPads.
For Android devices, content in an Android viewer is scaled up or down and letterboxed as needed to fit within the display area. See
Creating documents for multiple devices.
If you want to allow smooth scrolling, you can specify a custom page size (such as 1024x3000). See Smooth scrolling articles.
4. For Orientation, choose either Portrait or Landscape.
Creating a document for a device reader
A. Set Intent to Web B. Specify Page Size C. Choose Portrait or Landscape
5. For a dual-orientation article, follow the same procedure to create a second document.
When you save the files, include _v and _h suffixes in the filenames if you want to import articles. For example add an _v suffix for the
vertical (portrait) document, such as article_v.indd.
