From creating interactive PDFs to full-fledged Flash sites, the expanded
capabilities of InDesign now make it possible to design projects that go
beyond print, into the world of Web and interactive. Designing for
Interactivity with InDesign CS5 is the first book of its kind, expressly
devoted to the interactive capabilities of InDesign CS5 and their use in
creating documents destined for output to interactive PDF and Flash SWF.

Both a reference book, with sections broken out by topic, and a training
guide, with real-world exercises and/or projects provided for each
chapter, the book includes exercise files available for download on an
associated Web site. It goes beyond simply teaching the function of
InDesign to familiarize readers with the basics of Web and interactive
design, audio and video compression and conversion, and the fundamentals
of animation. Power-user tips are peppered throughout as are productivity
tools and techniques. An entire section is dedicated to best practices
for successful output to interactive PDF, Flash SWF and Flash
Professional, with how-to's for using Acrobat and Flash Professional
to extend the InDesign-generated files. There's even a section on Type
and Layout making this a soup-to-nuts guide on the InDesign-to-
interactive workflow.
