Publish Online (Preview) is a technology preview feature that is available in English versions of InDesign CC 2015. The feature lets you effortlessly publish InDesign documents online. These documents can then be viewed with full fidelity in a desktop or tablet web browser with a delightful viewing experience, and without requiring a plug-in. If a richer document experience is desired, you can add buttons, slideshows, animation, audio, and video using the interactive authoring features of InDesign before publishing the document online.

The published document is intended to be a digital version of an InDesign document that will simply work on all devices that support a web browser. You can email the published document URL or simply share it on Facebook.

Try publishing a finished document by clicking the Publish Online button on the Application Bar or you can also choose File -> Publish Online (Preview)..To access or manage all your published documents, choose File -> Web Dashboard..For more details, see online help.

After trying it out, please give us feedback on the feature by filling this survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PublishOnline_Survey

Hi Bob,

Few things would be needed to find out cause of the issue, first are you on latest InDesign 11.3, if not please update to same as in this version when upload fails, there is error code and ID that comes after failure. Please let me know error code and ID, it will help in narrowing down the issue.

Thanks

Ive got this document which works fine as a interactive PDF. You can hover over on the right menu as well as on the numbers above the map. The 1st 2 numbers in the list also have a click state, these corresponding numbers on the map do the same.

On desktop browser (chrome mac) all works fine. On my ipad mini 2 in chrome the click buttons work but not he hover, on my iphone nothing seems to work. But thats old 4s so could explain that.

Is there a list of supported features etc?

Just curious--why is it not possible to embed a Twitter feed? I'm able to embed a YouTube video or a Google Map using their embed code. I've tried to get an embed code to work using the new embed code from Publish.Twitter.com, but haven't been able to figure out how to get it to work either as a Web Overlay or as an Object/Insert HTML. Is there a way to get this to function?

Thanks very much!

I have been having problems uploading a file. The file contains 2 videos, both created in Premiere and rendered through AME. I used the YouTube preset and reduced the data rate by more than half.

I get this error whenever I try to upload. I removed the videos and uploaded without them, which worked. Here is the file:

https://indd.adobe.com/view/dae00026-5b88-4764-ac1b-bed366e03bfe

Here is the file with the videos:

Fishwrap_03 copy.indd - Google Drive

Following other posts here I reduced video file size and changed file names to be only letters and numbers - no special characters. Also tried to sign out and back in to CC.

I just tried again to publish, and the upload is stuck at zero (About 20 minutes now).

I don't want to cancel, but I'm not sure what options I have.

Any help will be appreciated.

Love this feature, but why can't I select text from the published document? I'd like the reader to be able to copy/paste text from my doc.

As a workaround, Marcus, check the "Allow viewers to download the document as a PDF (Print)."

They can copy and paste text from the PDF file.

Hi,

Thank you! I noticed that was an option, but in this case we're posting this document on our intranet and would like for employees for always get their hand on the latest issue. I'm suspecting they will download one version and then, when we do changes, they will sit with the old one still not aware that it has changed.

this is great as a means to view roughs/visuals/work in progress,

but agree [re pro use] this is not currently suitable for final file/live client project use, where client has privacy of information in mind.

so, a few things that would push it into client project area:.

privacy - option to host on client/private server.

searchable text [as per pdf online]

selectable text [as per pdf online]

scaling - more [predefined, in setup] control over zooming [or live auto/fit to page/fit width option... as per pdf online]

a way to deal with tablet and mobile v/h orientation issues.

amazing, but unfortunately i think that it is not appropriate to embed it in a website because the publish online button on the left side of screen, also when there are "adobe.com in full screen" in fullscreenmode.

Please advise if there are ways to remove a publish online button.

Thank you

So, I wanted to share some of the 'best practices' that we have been using since we started implementing Publish Online for our online documents.

• Since we can't host the pages locally (yet), we build a basic responsive website and embed the book in an iframe.

• Even though the program auto changes resolutions on photos/etc, we go ahead and have our images be no more than 200 dpi and RGB by using PS, enhancing our control on the output of the image. We have noticed that this helps the upload and viewing experience as well, no matter the upload resolution you choose.

• We use only JPG/TIFF/EPS/PNG images. They tend to output better. PDFs when placed in the document tend to hurt the upload and viewing experience.

• If you have the issue of multiple audio/video streams starting when a book first opens (only happens on those that are set to play on page view), the workaround we came up with is to have any AV stream that is set to play on page view to have a fade-in animation that starts on page view, with a fade-in animation of two seconds.

• We never use 144 PPI, unless the client specifically asks for better resolution on images (because they are looking at a desktop version).

I am curious to hear others best practices!

Hi Rahul,

The fact that Adobe puts an advert button on any document we want to embed makes it impossible to use for clients.

And clients want to embed the document on their own website and not have important - and sometimes even confidential - documents on the Adobe server.

Will we get the possibility to use Publish Online and have files being generated locally soon? Before that happens we can't use it professionally…

Thanks!

The fact that Adobe puts an advert button on any document we want to embed makes it impossible to use for clients.

Them by all means remove this, easy. Change 'embed' to 'view' like this: 'https://indd.adobe/view/

You can also embed it in a simple html that you can host on your own website and no one will even notice they are looking at an embedded file.

Example:

http://fvdgeest.nl/example.html

A simple HTMl file containing this code:

"<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="1" height="768" src="https://indd.adobe.com/view/3a6b62fa-a0ad-4242-9d7a-fe3a9ceaa36f" style="border: 1px solid #777;" width="1024"></iframe><br />"

Perfect! Changing "embed" to "view" made it happen. Thank you so much :-)

Hi I have been publishing online and find this feature great- however when I am in the publish online dialog box it does not give me the option for "viewers to download as a pdf" check box. I need this facility enabled. Why can't i see it? HELP

Go to About InDesign (InDesign menu on Mac, Help menu in Windows) and tell us exactly what version of InDesign you have. You need InDesign CC 2015.2 (11.2) for that feature.
