Default Page turner


Hi Guys,
I just watched Tom's Screenr about edits to Engage's Page Turner. I have found limitations to the page turner:

1) you cannot mix text and pic’s on the same page;
2) you have limitation to DTP layout ect;
3) and I have found it locks sometimes and leaves parts of the page turn artefacts on screen and I have to reset (not good in a live presentation).

So, it’s clear that Adobe is moving to a more holistic integration of their products. If you want a very nice Page Turner - here is an idea that maybe worth considering.

Indesign Desktop Publishing tool (Adobe’s Quark and Pagemaker killer) can output an interactive swf – especially page turners, wipes etc


Try this tut
Adobe InDesign Tutorial | CS4 | Export InDesign Layout to Flash Presentation | Layers Magazine

Hope it helps
Gazzzz

Hi gazzzz,

Have you tried using Youblisher? Publication Network - Youblisher.com - turn pages / flippable pdfs - pdf's zum umblättern

You can then include the document as a web object into a presentation.

Thank you Brian,
I was looking for a standalone swf so I could embed the solution - Onsite presentations are sometimes problematic for web access. Thanks again for the tip
Cheers
Gazzzz

This tutorial is great Gazzzz. I have InDesign but have not used it. This gives me a reason to.

Gazzzz

This is something that I have been looking to try and do for some time now.

I have used the page curl function in a standalone presentation fine, but cant seem to get it work with / in articulate.

I have embedded the .swf file that has been exported from Indesign, but when I publish the course it seems to lose the interaction.

Can you advise as to how you got around this?

Thanks!!
