Try the new Publish Online (Preview) feature in InDesign CC 2015 !

Report · Jun 19, 2015

Publish Online (Preview) is a technology preview feature that is available in English versions of InDesign CC 2015. The feature lets you effortlessly publish InDesign documents online. These documents can then be viewed with full fidelity in a desktop or tablet web browser with a delightful viewing experience, and without requiring a plug-in. If a richer document experience is desired, you can add buttons, slideshows, animation, audio, and video using the interactive authoring features of InDesign before publishing the document online.

The published document is intended to be a digital version of an InDesign document that will simply work on all devices that support a web browser. You can email the published document URL or simply share it on Facebook.

Try publishing a finished document by clicking the Publish Online button on the Application Bar or you can also choose File -> Publish Online (Preview)..To access or manage all your published documents, choose File -> Web Dashboard..For more details, see online help.

After trying it out, please give us feedback on the feature by filling this survey - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PublishOnline_Survey

Just a thought.

Could it have anything to do with the Rollover state which is only present in desktop? Does this duplicate the button action?

No, removed the rollovers but still the same issue!

Hi Glenn,

When you select 'OnClick' event for the button, can you see any actions for it, if yes please remove them. If not can you check if there are multiple buttons on the same place, you can try moving button a little and see if there is other button as well.

Please see snapshot of a button having GotoPreviousPage action on OnClick event.

Thanks

Thanks Anshul,

I will give that a go. Are you suggesting that I do not use the On release or tap in preference for on click. I believe I tried that previously and it works on desktop but not on a mobile device?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Glenn,

In your buttons, there are same actions attached to multiple events. You can use either of the event and even multiple of them depending on your need. But here your need is that page should go to next/previous page on click of a button so you can add go to next/previous page action to any one of the event either OnClick or OnRelease but not to both of them. If you want to use OnRelease event then select OnClick in the event dropdown of button and delete action attached to it.

Thanks

Thanks Anshul,

I will have a trawl thought the document to find the multiple events. Didn't realise that you could have multiple events on one button!

Anshul, you are a star.

That has sorted it.

Really appreciate your help. I could have been looking forever!

Anshul,

Aspect Ratio is incorrect (stretched horizontally) in Interactivity Previewer, so my subjects are stretched out of proportion.

This happens without a crop applied, and more radically with a frame fitting crop applied.

Media is initially edited in Premiere, encoded in Encoder, placed in Indesign as Interactive Media.

Thanks for your help, Marian

I have been publishing to Online Preview for months now, but I just started getting this error which is very vague. Any Ideas?

Thanks!

An error occurred while uploading your document. Please try again.

Try signing off and on in the Creative Cloud app. Go to the Gear icon > Preferences > Sign Off. Then sign in with your Adobe ID.

Also make sure InDesign is signed in with your Adobe ID.

And if that doesn't work, restore your InDesign preferences:

Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences

Perhaps there is some corruption in your file.

Save it as an IDML file:

Clean corrupt files by exporting to .IDML or .INX

After rebuilding, try it again.

Hello Marian,

Were you able to publish same document in past, have you added more things in it may be some media files or so. Did you by any chance have any network limit tool running on your system, sometimes it causes failure because of upload limit set to lower values. Which OS you are on.

If you are still seeing the issue, can you please copy your packaged indd folder somewhere and share the link at sharewithid@adobe.com with subject ForAnshul, it will help in reproducing the issue.

Thanks

What happens to the doc in the web dashboard when one's trial of InDesign expires? Will it still be accessible? Thank you!

Report · Nov 16, 2015

The uploaded doc in web dashboard is not affected by the expired copy of software.

Hi, I'm trying to use Online Publish in InDesign 2015 (CC). I have a one page document with 'digital publishing' as intend. Uploading to Publish Online seems to work with all default settings, however, when I click the Show Document button (or use the URL provided), the result is "Document not Found - The document you requested does not exist. Please check the link used to make sure it's accurate." https://indd.adobe.com/view/02f9db2f-b3fa-41e9-be47-88391fa7b252?ref=ide

Also, my web dashboard and recent publications remain empty. What am I doing wrong?

‌I can see your document when going to the URL you mentioned: Conservatorium Amsterdam. You say you can not?

Thanks for checking, Frans and Larry. Changing to another computer, also worked for me. The problem, apparently, was my pc, not Online Publish. So, solved!

Hello, does anyone have the solution to the "reverse on roll off" button not working? Please see here: https://indd.adobe.com/view/e25a29cc-181a-4444-a859-274394d843d4

This will preview correctly when using the key command <cmmd + shift + enter> and shows up as a swf preview. It will not preview correctly as shown using the "publish online" button or the menu item under "file".

thank you.

I submitted the survey monkey but just thought about something else, it would be nice if you could add a notes section where notes could be added and collaborated back to the original author. I use this feature to send previews of documents we are having printed, instead of sending pdfs.. we have people who think office max and an offset press are the same quality.. They sometimes need changes it would be great if they could mark the document up via the web. That way they don't have to have Adobe Acrobat to Mark it up. It would also be a great idea for graphic design firms working with outside clients.

Tried it and like it so far.

Errors: If you don't have an object (set as a hyperlink) moved to top most layer and it's overlapped with copy-some people are missing the hyperlink. curser doesn't change until portion of the object that's not covered with text appears.

Error: animation previews fine but after it's published the animation plays but objects bounce into place. Every object with an animation completes the motion then appears to "snap" to an invisible grid line or something.

Question: We found an editing error in our publication after it was published. Is there anyway to edit the file and keep the same url it was assigned the first time we published it online?

Looking forward to updates.
