Export interactive PDF as pages

You can now export interactive PDFs as either spreads or pages. In the Export to Interactive PDF dialog box (File > Export), choose either Pages
or Spreads. The default selection is spreads.

Place Adobe Edge designs

Use the new Adobe® Edge web motion and interaction design tool to bring animated content to websites, using web standards like HTML5,
JavaScript, and CSS3. You can place an Adobe Edge package on your layout to add interactivity and animation to your Folio or HTML export.

Choose File > Place and navigate to the file (.OAM) to place it. The design is placed and InDesign fetches a poster image.

When you preview the folio or export to HTML, the placed Edge design plays.

Older versions of Adobe Edge do not support exporting to OAM. Zip the output folder and rename the extension to OAM.

Embed HTML snippets

You can embed common HTML elements, such as embed codes for YouTube videos or Google Maps. You can copy the HTML embed code and
paste in into InDesign

Choose Object > Insert HTML, and paste the HTML code

Copy the code to the clipboard and paste it on your layout

InDesign automatically fetches a poster image. The embedded object is not interactive in the InDesign layout. Export the layout to HTML or
preview the folio (File > Folio Preview) to interact with the object.
