Create source InDesign documents (InDesign CS6 and CC)
InDesign CS6 and CC includes several new features that simplify the DPS workflow. See the links below for more information on these features.
Note the following issues:
Folios you create or edit using InDesign CS6 or later are not compatible with any viewer version before v20.
If you create alternate layouts, you can create articles based on these layouts only through the Add Article feature, not through Import Article.
If you rely heavily on importing multiple files, continue using different documents for each layout until the Import Article feature supports
alternate layouts.
To create a source document in InDesign CS6 or CC:
1. In InDesign CS6, choose File > New > Document.
2. For Intent, choose Digital Publishing.
3. For Page Size, specify the target device such as iPad. If necessary, change the width and height values.
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 iPad models.
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 1024 x 3000). See Smooth scrolling articles.
4. For Orientation, choose either Portrait or Landscape.
Creating a document for a device reader
A. Set Intent to Digital Publishing B. Specify Page Size C. Choose Portrait or Landscape orientation
5. Leave Primary Text Frame selected if you want your text to reflow when you create alternate layouts. If your article does not have a main
story thread, deselect this option.
