Tip
If you've installed and opened the Adobe Viewer app on your iPad and
your iPad is connected to your computer, the Preview menu in the Folio
Overlays panel provides an additional option that lets you preview the doc-
ument on your iPad.
1.
Click Preview in the lower-left corner of the Folio Overlays panel, and then choose
Preview On Desktop. If it's installed on your computer, Adobe Content Viewer
opens and displays the page that's currently displayed in InDesign. Because Allow
User Interaction was selected by default in the Folio Overlays panel for the web
content overlay you created, the hyperlinks on the web page are functional, and
you can click them to navigate to other web pages.
2.
While you're in Adobe Content Viewer, you can navigate to the other pages in the
publication by dragging. For example, drag page 5 downward to display page 4. If
you want, you can test the other interactive elements that you created earlier in this
lesson.
3.
When you've finished previewing the publication, quit Adobe Content Viewer and
return to InDesign.
Creating an alternate layout and applying liquid layout rules
Tablet devices can display pages in either portrait or landscape orientation. To take advant-
age of this capability, InDesign lets you create alternate layouts within the same InDesign
document.
The Alternate Layout feature duplicates the content of the existing layout, placing it on
newpageswithanalternate pagesize. Theability toinclude boththeportrait andlandscape
layouts for a tablet application in one InDesign document simplifies the task of designing
for tablets and helps ensure that text, linked images, and interactivity are consistent across
multiple layouts. Alternate layouts are intended to make the design process faster, but most
layouts still require human judgment and manual adjustments.
Next, you'll create an alternate vertical layout and assign a liquid page rule to determine
how the objects on a page are adapted in the alternate layout. You'll then modify the layout
of one of the pages in the alternate layout to accommodate the change in orientation.
1.
Use the Pages panel (Window > Pages) to navigate to page 2, or press Ctrl+J (Win-
dows) or Command+J (Mac OS), enter
2
in the Page box, and then click OK.
