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

Hi there. I am very frustrated because the publish online feature is not working properly for me and I have spent 2x days reading all answers on this forum and elsewhere.

Here is the text received as requested to do so. Every other attempt to fix hasn't worked i.e. sign-out, proxy, firewall etc.

{"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://cc-api-cp.adobe.io/api/v2/limits","type":"application/hal+json"}},"small_file_upload_limit":52428800,"rendition_size_limit":2048,"copy_job_subtasks_limit":1000}

My buddy managed to post online using his CC so it is not the file I believe.

What else am I doing wrong? Really appreciate peoples help and feedback asap.

Cheers Greg.

Hi Rahul, I am trying to publish our document and have tried to log out and log back in several times without much success. It gives me a #38 error. Screen shot below:

Also, the notepad message is as follows:

{"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://cc-api-cp.adobe.io/api/v2/limits","type":"application/hal+json"}},"small_file_upload_limit":104857600,"rendition_size_limit":2048,"copy_job_subtasks_limit":1000}

Please help/advise so that I can get the document published.

thank you

Jyoti.

Hello there!

Our company recently published a guide online using Adobe Publish online. The clickable elements (buttons, interactive elements) are not clickable on touchscreen PC devices in Chrome or Firefox, but the touchscreen works (sloppy, but works).

This issue is not present when the PC users are in safari or internet explorer. All content was created and published on a Mac, and no macs have had an issue with buttons. The content is private, but I can send the guide to anyone from Adobe on a person-person basis.

Has anyone found a good work around this besides putting a disclaimer when sending it out to have the client disable their touchscreen in their web browser? That seems to be the only way I can get the buttons to work properly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Do you have any large video?

Can you tell us what happens if you just try to publish 1-2 pages of the document?

Can you try to re-publish documents that were successful previously?

Please let us know the result.

Thank you.

I've been having the same issue, where the file errors when trying to publish. I found the video that was causing the problem and saved it smaller. It's now publishing however the control setting I selected for all of the videos in the documents no longer works and I can't even play them. Any idea why that is?

Also, funny thing is that I've published this document many times before with no problems until yesterday when I changed a few things in the text (didn't even touch the videos) and all of a sudden it's not publishing because of this video. Why?

I've encountered a problem when trying to publish my Indesign document online, I have made interactive spreads with a video/buttons etc. This error message appears every time I try to upload, it gets to 95% and then does this. I have tried changing the file type of the video and getting rid of all errors. Can someone please help? Need this uploaded ASAP if possible.

Make sure you're logged in to your Adobe ID in the CC desktop app (in the menu bar on Mac, task bar in Windows). Click the "gear" icon > Preferences > General > Sign Out, then sign in again.

Also, see you it's just this particular publication. Try a simple page or two first to see if that's working.

Good morning,

I like the online publishing available through Indesign but just wondering why the document is not searchable? Search feature does not seem to work for these and would be really helpful.

https://indd.adobe.com/view/b2e41d0f-b829-46b8-9717-79a9ff26f969

Also there are times the thumbnails get locked up and people can't move through the larger document easily.

Any help that would help shed a light on what is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

It’s not searchable because there’s no text in it. Feel free to file a feature request:

Is there a way to make it searchable on my end? Original document has text. Pdf's are searchable, other flip book services have boos that are searchable. I think I was hoping to receive more instructions or helpful tips?

See my reply just above your comment. Look at the link (repeated here):

Troubleshoot Publish Online errors

The solution is listed as the same above.

Also make sure you're logged in properly to your Adobe ID in the CC desktop app.

I am constantly receiving an error #40 when trying to upload my document. I used to publish my documents all online, but have not been able to successfully create a link for my uploads since November 2017.

Please advise?

From the Troubleshoot Publish Online Errors document:

"Try one of the following:

File size is too large. Reduce the file size and try again.
Set the system time accurately and retry."

I have successfully used "Publish Online" for an EPUB version for our December magazine issue; however, i get an "error 16" with our February issue. I'm pretty sure it has to with a two videos I have embedded, as I can publish the issue without the videos.

Do you have some tips for embedded videos? What format should I use? (I exported from Premiere as H.264, .MP4 file.) Is there a size limit? (One video is 418 MB, the other is 1.39 GB.)

The videos work in the InDesign preview of the EPUB document...

Thank you for your assistance!

It would be useful for us all to know if there is a size limit, especially on videos.

Perhaps Adobe staff such as AnshulJain19 or other can help. There is an earlier question in this thread and the person posting found if they used Handbrake to reduce the size of the video, they could successfully publish.

Would you have a chance to eliminate the larger one of the two, see if you can publish, then if not, try to reduce the size of the remaining, etc.?

Thank you for the tip! I didn't use Handbrake, but I did export the files again from Premiere, still H.264, MP4 but sized for iPad. This reduced the file sizes to 57.8 MB and 61.8 MB.

I don't know what the magic size is, but I do know that this worked. Thanks again!
