I'm making an interactive paper for iPad

I'm making an interactive paper for iPad.

The raeders sent my paper to iBooks and thats good. Unfortunately there are always miniatures at the bottom of the pages and I can't avoid that. I also don't like the information at the top of the page.

This is the information I use during sfing the document: 

I don't include miniatures on the page!

Is there a simple solution for this problem?

 

Thanks,

Janmac

Why are you opening PDFs in iBooks?

Pdf in Books at a iPad gives very a good connection to internet. The pdf is interactif and the raeders now can switch quickly to internet and back to the Books app.

That may or may not be, but the InDesign export settings are only going to be reliable for Acrobat or Reader on desktop computers, not the Apple Books app on any device.

Page Thumbnails are not the same as the page miniatures in iBooks. The thumbnails are only visible when opening the Pages navigation pane. Also, you don't have to embed them--they are generated automatically whenever the Pages pane is opened.

Thank you very much for your clear answer.
Does this mean that a part of the page is always invisible in iBooks?

This may simply be a function of iBooks. Others are more familiar with this issue and may comment.

But I also wanted to ask if you might publish your document with Publish Online instead. Publish Online documents look really good on an iPad. Here are some great examples that may provide inspiration to give it a try: http://bit.ly/PubOnCollection
