A client wants me to design a standout pitch document for them, they normally present with in-house produced PowerPoint documents via video conferencing. I am thinking of using InDesign for this, can I publish online so my client can access the presentation whilst making it private so nobody else can see this confidential document?

Thanks

Perhaps I'm missing something here, but you could create the presentation in InDesign, and output to fixed layout ePub. This would create a file that your colleague can present from his/her computer and no one else would have access. If using Mac, show the file using iBooks, if on PC, try the Readium extension for Chrome. I'm not sure how this would be a security/confidentiality risk as mentioned. But maybe I'm missing something?

Readium has gone to hell in the last year.

It’s not very good at all.

Too bad. Is there *anything* on Windows that can read an InDesign-created fixed layout ePub?

Hi,

my piece of advice: If PowerPoint is required, do a PowerPoint presentation.
Parts of it could be done with InDesign and exported to PNG that PowerPoint could import.

FWIW: There is no confidential way to use the InDesign feature Publish Online.

If you are looking for HTML as presentational form and want to use InDesign as authoring tool look into Fixed Layout EPUB or to a plugin like In5.

Uwe

I agree - it's right advice

You can also try to use PDF interactive but this way without InDesign animations.

Saving your document to EPUB allows to share these work to computer and this would be confidential
