How to display tall document in scrollable fullscreen mode?

I'm creating a tall document of 1920x10800p (for the purpose of a scrollable website with the dimension).

I would like to enter full screen mode in 1920x1080p resolution to see how everything would eventually look like in terms of dimensions and readability once I publish it.

When I press shift+W it shows me the enitre image very small in the middle of my screen.

Is it possible to do this? If not, are there any workarounds?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

AFAIK you cannot zoom in when in that View Mode

There are several workarounds - that involve you leaving InDesign.

A similar way without leaving indesign is with nothing selected hit TAB key and it should hide all the panels and tools (hitting it again should show them again).

And you can zoom in or out and scroll as you normally would.

You can even change the background to Black in the Preferences

Hope that helps.

Do it the right way - as separate pieces.

Then upload as bunch of images.

Doing it in one piece means that author of the example has no idea how material for the website should be prepared.

I'm open to do it in seperate pieces but how do I paste images that cross the borders?
Do I have to cut them each time?
The whole reason I created the 1 big page is to avoid this issue and get a much clearer and easier idea of the layout...

Simple - duplicate your image and place it at the top of the next page - move up accordingly.

Or... you could create multi-page spread - and rotate it 90 degree - then you'll have 2in1 - one big vertical banner, automatically split into separate pages / pieces.

If you put the document on a website in image form, it will be inherently scrollable according to the browser window size, and load from the top down to the first screenheight. The issue will be exporting it with enough resolution for small type to be clear and readable.

If this is destined for Publish Online, there are probably better approaches.

Exaclty, my intentions are to upload it on my behance, a bit like this:

"The issue will be exporting it with enough resolution for small type to be clear and readable."
Indeed, that's why I'm trying to figure out how I can preview the doucment in scrollable fullscreen without having to constantly upload it and adjust it along the way...

Can't you put a PDF on Behance?

Publish it how? Do you really intend for it to be scrollable? Are you thinking about it being a Publish Online document? You could conceivably do it with Universal Scrolling Frames but I'm not sure how successful you're going to be.
