Hello all,

I am studying mediadesign in germany and need help with my bachelor thesis.

I am looking for something where I can create a digital magazin with, like the weird magazin did in 2010.

​Introducing the Adobe Digital Magazine Workflow |...

I know there is no DPS anymore, can you reccomned an other option to create a interactive magazin from InDesign files,

where I can switch between articles horizontal and read the articals vertically?

Thank you all in advance!

Hi Leoniloves.

What version of InDesign are you using? InDesign CC has a great feature called Publish Online. You create your magazine and when you are ready to publish it click the Publish Online button in the top right corner of the Application Bar.

You can share it on Facebook/Twitter as well as copy the url to share it with someone or get the code so it can be included in a website.

It supports many of the interactive features DPS did. Here is a link to what it can do.

Use Publish Online to publish your InDesign documents

However it won't switch between landscape and portrait unless you have built both versions (this was also the case for DPS).

    The disadvantage of Publish Online is that content can't be monetised.

    Have a look at ePub and in5 Ajar Productions: in5 - Home

    You may find this chart helpful (reproduce with kind permission of Keith Gilbert).

    As it's for a Bachelor thesis it won't need to be monetised so not an issue for Leoniloves I don't think.
