In the previous session (Accessibility Fundamentals for InDesign), we laid out the basics: what every InDesign user needs to know. Now, we’ll take the next step and explore some of the most important rules for building accessible PDF files.
Topics include:
Ensuring that the PDF files you produce are accessible to everyone is not only a good idea, it’s the right thing to do! In this session, learn about what accessibility and “Section 508” means and how you can produce PDF documents that are accessible to all!
Remember, as George Kerscher of the DAISY Consortium said, “Access to information is a fundamental human right.”
This tutorial is split into five separate sessions. This session takes you through the steps of adding accessibility features to your InDesign files.
Topics include:
This session is a 4-minute romp through WordsFlow, a workflow plugin for InDesign that solves your most common production problem: last-minute or ongoing changes by authors and editors using Word & Excel. WordsFlow works by providing live links to your Word & Excel documents, and performing its “magic merge” on link update, rather than losing all your work.
(DocsFlow provides the same function, but using online Google Docs documents & sheets.)
It will be followed by immediately by a live Q&A session.
This session brought to you by our partner, Em Software.
Have you ever exported an interactive PDF from InDesign only to find that the interactive parts were missing?
It turns out that a PDF doesn’t really support most of InDesign’s interactive features. In this session, you’ll learn why that is, and what options you do have to create interactivity without coding.
In addition to PDF, we’ll look at
You’ll get to see live, interactive projects that were created with InDesign and include
This session brought to you by our partner, Ajar Productions.
This session is packed with even more interactivity that you can add to your InDesign digital documents. We’ll learn about MSOs — Multi-State Objects — how to create them, and how to control which state is showing, using both buttons and arrows.
We’ll also learn:
You already have Adobe InDesign, so why not use it to help you make your presentations? After all, laying out a slide is very similar to laying out a page.
Join us as we explore:
Augmented Reality (AR) is a new medium for designers and marketing professionals to explore and take advantage of.
You’ll learn:
In earlier sessions today, we’ve learned about creating animations and multi-state objects, adding timing and buttons, and more. Now, let’s put it all together, incorporate video and custom HTML widgets, and create a rich, interactive document!
If you’re curious how InDesign can create engaging interactive documents, this is the session for you!
We’ll start with a quick overview of exporting an interactive document out of InDesign (including Interactive PDF, Publish Online and in5/HTML5). Then we’ll explore InDesign’s rich toolset for adding buttons, hyperlinks, and animation. We’ll take a look at what’s involved to producing a series of interactive effects, using some obvious and not-so-obvious techniques.
If you’ve tried InDesign’s interactive features and found them frustrating, join this session and look again.
We’ll cover techniques for creating:
(And… if you want more interactivity, stay for the next session!)
Are you interested in creating rich, interactive documents? It’s likely that your existing design skills are more useful than you realize. This session will present an overview of your options, from Interactive PDF to HTML, fixed-layout EPUB, Publish Online, and more!
