What is Publish Online (Preview)?
With Publish Online, you can now repurpose your print documents by publishing them online. You can publish a
digital version of an InDesign document that works on any device, in any modern web browser, without the need to
install a plugin.
For a richer document viewing experience, you can publish an interactive InDesign document that includes buttons,
slideshows, animation, audio, and video using the interactive authoring features of InDesign CC.
After you publish your documents, you can provide the online document URL to anyone to view the document in a
beautiful, yet simple, online reading experience, on any device and on any platform. You can even share the online
document on social networks like Facebook and Twitter or over email with a single click. The document can also be
embedded on any website or blog using the embed code provided on clicking the embed option on the viewing layout.
Here are two sample interactive documents published using InDesign CC 2015.
• Five Days From Nowhere
• An interactive brochure courtesy Morisawa
Multiple page spread You can create an InDesign document that contains spreads with more than two pages, the
published document displays multiple pages on a spread in the same way as they are displayed in InDesign.
Publish documents with multiple page sizes Publish documents that contain pages with different sizes. The published
document maintains the size of individual pages and displays the content on the pages appropriately.
Text hyperlinks Hyperlinks created on text are supported in published document. InDesign maintains all types of
hyperlinks in the published document:
• URLs
• Emails
• Page destinations
• TOC markers
• Index markers
• Cross references
Image resolution The image resolution of the published output supports 96 PPI and is the default value for better
quality images in the output.
