Hi, 

I've got a problem with files Indesign that I export with "Publish online" : on mobile phone it's impossible to read because impossible to zoom on it ?!? Is it normal ? Is there any solution ?

Thanks a lot.

I just started to use this tool and what I did (this is not the perfect solution for mobile) is that I embedded my document on my site and disabled the fullscreen option. Width is 100% and height to what ever you prefer. I still hope they do serious improvments to this, because sometimes the embedded document freezes on mobile. I used Android and Chrome.

This is still an issue and, as stated in previous comments, makes this tool unusable as it alienates a large section of our audience. Is this being looked into? Wanting to be able to zoom in on a document and change pages isn't a big ask in 2022. I've tested it on Oppo, Samsung and Motorola phones and all don't work.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. On Smartphones, it totally depends on the browser how it handles the content. For example, if I open a published document on Chrome on my android phone, I can not zoom on it but it works on Firefox.

Try changing your browser and see if helps.

Hope it helps.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh
