Correct answer Test Screen Name

I think there is a lot of confusion here. I see your question as wanting to do one thing, and most of the answers deal with trying to do something else completely. Can you please clarify your aims:

* to include live web pages in a final published document somehow

* to include live web pages in a panel shown by a plug-in during the InDesign editing process, which don't become part of the design [as, for example, showing live help information or tutorials from the web, but integrated in the InDesign UI]

* something else?

I'm assuming this is a third party plug-in for which you are the programmer. If not, I can't see any way to understand your question - yet!

    Hi Jothi,

    (I appreciate that I am restating what is above, but I still do not know what you are trying to do)

     

    Are you wanting to provide a external URL to a website that will be shown to the user, like a help manual?  (basically a browser inside InDesign)

    OR

    are you trying to pull resources from a website to use on the document that the user is working on?

     

    I think both are doable, but the approach may be very different depending on which.

      you dont need a plug-in. you can create a web overlay. why would you need a plug in?  and how can we know the plug-in if you don't tell us? also, what is the way in which you want to deliver this file?

        Hi,

         

        I am not sure what you mean by render inside a plug-in? do you mean import the html? do you mean create a panel and place and html page in it?
