Navigation Arrows InDesign Published Online

At work we have used InDesign to create a catalog. When we publish the document online it is creating white arrows on the left and right for navigating between pages. We are getting complaints from customers that they can't see the arrows, the arrows shouldn't be white, etc (obviously these are not are most tech savvy customers)-- we are wondering if there is a way to change the look of these arrows or offer another navigation option for our customers that is easier to see.

TIA

    Why are you creating a catalog in InDesign? Nothing with nothing, because Publish Online is brilliant, but shouldn't you be putting this information on your own website?

    I assume you using the Adobe Publish Online feature. Or are you using some other service?

    Why not put your own navigation buttons directly on the page in InDesign? That way, users can use either method.

    Yes we are using the Publish Online Feature.

    I wonder if there is a way to disable to default arrows that appear...

    You cannot disable the white navigation arrows in Publish Online. However, as someone suggested, perhaps it would ease your viewers' concerns if you include other, more visible navigation arrows in the document itself. This could be done with buttons or hyperlinks.
