Hello Community, 

 

Does anyone knows whether it is possible to do Flipbook with InDesign 2020? I watched a couple of videos on youtube - there used to be such an option in the past - I checked in the newest version and it looks like Adobe got rid ot this option. 

 

I'm enclosing printscreens how it supposed to look (from youtube videos), and printscreen from my InDesign where option of PAGE TURN which is needed for flipbook is not present.

 

Is anyone able to help me? :))

Flipbooks used SWF. 

SWF uses Flash Player. 

Flash Player is going away forever at the end of 2020. 

Wisely Adobe took the feature out of InDesign so people wouldn’t make flip books that beome useless so soon.

    There are countless threads on this subject here. The bottom line is that it is a horribly annoying effect that is best avoided. If you want it, find a third party application that can convert it or display it depending upon your end use.
