Turning Pages in Indesign 2020

Hi,

I am trying to create a pdf in Indesign with pages that flip and turn.

I have opened up a new document, Intent for Web, and set up multiple spreads.

I have then right click on the pages, 'page attributes' and then 'page transactions'.

This gives me all options like fade, uncover, dissolve etc but it DOESN'T give me a Turning page option.

Please help...... I am really stuck!

Am I doing it correct or is there a new way?

Thank you

The page flip effect becomes irritating for the reader after a while, but if you must have this effect, have a look at this:

The website issuu.com offers this still I believe.

I am also looking for a page turn animation. I agree it was possible with Flash. That doesn't mean the function (animation?) is no longer design/business requirement. Via third party, I've seen very nicely contained flipbooks with easy, elegant page turns. I am disappointed that Adobe does not offer a standard animation that imitates a page turn. I know I can fly in, or swirl in, etc., Believe it or not, people just don't see the L/R page turn arrows on the EPUB template. What I need to meet the business requirement is a simple page turn. Any ideas/tips?

There are a number of third-party apps that apply page turning effects to PDFs, for example: https://www.paperturn.com/uk/

@Moira28997738tjsn,

Page turning animation gimmicks are so "been there, done that" #YAWN, #SNOOZE.

KindleDirect Publishing -- PageFlip with a purpose.

I use the free access to http://issuu.com and embed the result in sites.

I am not selling or promoting this service. It works for what I need.

Hi,

Anyone got any more solutions which can publish to desktop rather than publishing to someone else's website and that don't require subscriptions or using last year's software.

Thanks
