Interactive ebook for my website

  • April 2, 2022

Greetings,

 

I want to create an interactive ebook with Adobe InDesign and put a link on my website for visitors to follow.  If at some point in the future I cancel my InDesign subscription, will my visitors still be able to view the ebook? Thanks for any help.

      You should also note that not all ebooks can be "put on a web site".

        Let me make sure I understand:

         

        I could create an interactive document (video, animation etc.) with InDesign and export it as "FXL ePub"; "Interactive PDF"; or "in5" and this would give me the ability to put a link on my website which visitors could click and it would take them to this document.   The document would still exist even if I later cancelled my InDesign subscription.

         

        Is that correct?

        You can't successfully have an Interactive PDF for distribution that contains video. Best to have a hyperlink to an external site, such as a YouTube video, or similar.

        Any exported data stays accessible, except it is an Adobe service (like on-line publish), that is linked to having an active subscription.
