Question

InDesign Web help needed...(ADA and other issues)

I am using the InDesign web version to create pages for the CANVAS course management system.  I have embedded videos, so I cannot convert this to a pdf or use InDesign's print version.  I need the following:
1) to have the webpage load true to size as a default (one page, for instance, is 8.5" x 40", and it is loading tiny, so students have to enlarge it).
2) to be able to label images for ADA compliance in the web version for a screen reader.
3) to have the entire web document within InDesign ADA compliant for a screenreader 

How do I do this?  This looks like it is being rasterized for the web version of InDesign.  College students may need to use a screen reader, so this needs to be fixed.

Please help!  :0)

 

Best,

MDR

I'm sure there's some kind of confusion in terminology here.

 

For starters, there's no "InDesign web version" or "InDesign's print version".

 

There's only a desktop version of InDesign.

 

So can you please elaborate on your workflow? Maybe post some screenshots of what you're referring to as "InDesign web version" and "InDesign's print version".

 

Or maybe you're referring to documents created via the Publish Online feature in InDesign?

P.S. If indeed you're referring to documents created via the Publish Online feature in InDesign, then such documents are not editable via the web interface. To make any changes, they have to be edited in InDesign, then republished.

**Also, when one enlarges the webpage (so it is legible/ true to size), the embedded videos are nto formatting correctly.  As the page enlarges, the Closed Captioning (cc) on YouTube, for example, disappears.  It is not staying true to size when the web page enlarges.

 

Thanks,
