Digital Book in InDesign

This is a quick tutorial on how to create a book in InDesign. The digital book will have real page turning graphics. This is not as complex as the flash based version of designing a digital book and should only take about 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

[Printmystuff]

@stefan91sd You can use any type of image you want. For this example I just used some jpeg's, but you can use png, jpeg, raw, illustrator, pdf, photoshop, any format will work.

thanks you guys exactly what I needed to know..now one last question, can this be burned to a dvd? and say I wanted a page flip for a dvd menu how could I do that?

[Printmystuff]

@silenteyesspy Since YouTube will not let me place the link into this text box, just search for this title in Google:

"Create an animated DVD menu transition using Encore and After Effects"

It is the first link and should take you to the Adobe site.  They are a great resource!

I have question, will this work on all platforms? (i.e ipad, iphone, android, and others) since it's going to be a swf, I'm making a interactive comic book and I was wondering if this will work on all platforms.

@stefan91sd To get more pages, open a new document and tell it to have 12 pages. You can also work with a pre-existing document and click on the page tab, then add more pages. I'm not sure how you are saving your document to get 2 files. That sounds correct. I would recommend saving the document in flash format SWF (I believe it is called)
