Placed HTML and Adobe Edge HTML animations during export
For more information see, Export content for EPUB.
NOTE: EPUB3 validators may report errors if placed HTML or HTML animations are not fully XHTML-compliant. However, EPUB3 viewers may
still function correctly. Adobe Systems cannot guarantee how placed HTML or Adobe Edge animations will perform in third-party EPUB3 viewers.
EPUB3 with layout
EPUB3 with Layout is an experimental format that builds on the EPUB 3.0 specification. Support for alternate and adaptive layouts including:
multiple columns, text wrap, and liquid layouts has been added. Using this technology it is possible to create true adaptive layouts that look good
on all devices and screen sizes and minimizes autoflow issues.
Adobe has submitted this technology to the IDPF for consideration as an extension of the EPUB3 specification. At the time of CS6 launch, there
are no publicly available EPUB viewers that support this feature.
HTML
Enhanced Export to HTML supports the following:
External CSS files for style information
Fallback support using Adobe Flash Player for placed video
Placed HTML and Adobe Edge animations
Linking to multiple custom CSS files
Linking to multiple custom external javascripts
Interactivity
Create PDF forms
You can design forms in InDesign and export them directly to PDF. InDesign now supports form fields and additional form actions. The Buttons
and Forms library (Window > Interactive > Buttons and Forms) contains items that you can use to design interactive forms. You can also specify
tab orders and tool tips without post-processing in Adobe Acrobat. Accessibility tags are also added to the exported PDF form.
Watch
by Lynda.com for a quick overview.
Buttons and Forms panel with PDF form components
1. Choose Window > Interactive > Buttons and Forms to display the form components, and place them on the page. You can then modify them
as desired, with custom labels, different colors, or different sizes.
