How can we improve InDesign?

Publish Online for INDB (book) file

Please extend Publish Online to Books. I use recurring elements as chapters in presentations and would like to publish online instead of exporting and transmitting PDF files.

    I didn't know this WASN'T an option for books. : (

    I guess I will combine the book into 1 ID file as a workaround.

    This would be really beneficial, especially for collaborative projects. My team breaks up sections that come together as chapters, so the indd documents alone are too small of chunks to publish separately. I would also love to be able to publish online existing pdf documents (since sometimes we re-organize pages after export).

    I agree it would be a good option if you could publish online an Indesign book with several chapters. I vote for it so that they take it into account for the future.

    My long textbook is segmented into a book. Publish online allows me to share the latest build of the book during the review process with a nice flip spreads UI. Right now I combined the book into 1 ID file and its cumbersome as a workaround. Let's get more people to vote on this! Share in your network of CC creators.

    Got my vote for Publish .indb file.
    I know I can select the whole book or the chapters I desire and export them as a single PDf file but online would great.

    Yes please! I can't believe this isn't possible. I work with book files on a daily basis!

  • Camilla commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Totally agree, a Publish Online feature for books would be absolutely lifesaving!

    I create a 900+ page catalog and would love to use Publish Online, but I create the catalog by combining separate InDesign documents into a final book. Also, I would love if Publish Online made text searchable.

    I work every year in a 1.500 pages publication (44 chapters). This would be very useful. There is no way to work in 1.500 pages in one INDD document.

  • anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, here is another vote for this feature. It would be very helpful for all who create long documents!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This would be HUGE for me. I have to publish approx. 24 page book in 8 chapters. Merging into one document will be a nightmare!

    yes please. I'm not sure why this is not an option? I'd love to publish my entire book and not waste time figuring out a work around.
