InDesign Pages

I am new to InDesign but want to create an interactive workbook. The workbook will be used by people who will place images in the workbook along with the link they are found on and any notes of importance. My question is this: what if someone uses the tabbed workbook and runs out of pages? Is there a way to have an "Add Pages" option? If not, how would I resolve this issue?

You can use InDesign to create the base interactive workbook, then export to an interactive PDF, you can then use Acrobat to add fuctionality, search "Spawn page" and "image field" on the Acrobat forum. Your users would need to use Acrobat or Reader to work with your workbook, and using a phone probably won't work.

I am having trouble visualizing any such interactive document that could be built with InDesign, but I may be missing something. A production that allows input and placement of outside content is... a horse of a very unusual color in the spectrum of "interactive books."

 

Simply giving the user as many pages as you can conceive them of needing/wanting/using, within reason, is a negligible issue with respect to this more fundamental one.
