A client wants me to design a standout pitch document for them, they normally present with in-house produced PowerPoint documents via video conferencing. I am thinking of using InDesign for this, can I publish online so my client can access the presentation whilst making it private so nobody else can see this confidential document?
my piece of advice: If PowerPoint is required, do a PowerPoint presentation. Parts of it could be done with InDesign and exported to PNG that PowerPoint could import.
FWIW: There is no confidential way to use the InDesign feature Publish Online.
If you are looking for HTML as presentational form and want to use InDesign as authoring tool look into Fixed Layout EPUB or to a plugin like In5.
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but you could create the presentation in InDesign, and output to fixed layout ePub. This would create a file that your colleague can present from his/her computer and no one else would have access. If using Mac, show the file using iBooks, if on PC, try the Readium extension for Chrome. I'm not sure how this would be a security/confidentiality risk as mentioned. But maybe I'm missing something?
How about I create an InDesign Interactive document and host it on my Adobe Portfolio site with Password protection? This way I can work in a program I am comfortable with, it is private and my client can access it with either a Mac or PC ... what do you think?
That might work. Frankly, I'm not familiar with Portfolio, but apparently you can password protect pages. The question I'd have is how to get the interactive document on to Portfolio so that it's interactive. In Behance, this is done by using "Embed" and inserting the iFrame code from a Publish Online document. Like so on my Behance page: Behance
