Meeting Summary

Creating Interactive Content from InDesign CS4

Event Details

On Tuesday, January 27th, almost 50 people gathered at the Cleveland Institute of Art to get a first-hand look at creating Interactive Content from InDesign CS4.

April Clark, Co-Chapter Representative, showed how to add buttons, hyperlinks, and page transitions to an InDesign page, and then export to either PDF or SWF.

She also showed a small bit of Adobe Flash CS4 while explaining the new file format (XFL) that allows InDesign files to open directly into Flash.

One web site that shows off a magazine using the cool new page turn effect can be found here: http://www.astronomy.com

Members enjoyed Valentino's pizza and we raffled off a full version of Creative Suite 3 Design Premium as well as a version of Adobe InDesign CS3.
