I mean include video, animation, slideshows, notes and quizing? If correctly understood I could export projects twice, iPDF for computers and ePubs for mobile devices. Embedding video in ePub is dodgy. Is there other ways more advanced?? Yes you can email PDFs. I googled to search for articles about using InDesign for creating an ebook. You have been very generous and informative in your delivery and it will be terribly useful for me, as I am interested to start writing ebooks.

I just have a few questions that I hope you could help answer? Would creating the cover in Illustrator be an issue and how large or small would the file size be? And last but not least…for the cover, there will obviously be a front part, but will I need to design the back part too? Yes you can import or paste an Illustrator vector into InDesign.

Do you know if that is doable in Indesign or do we need to create an app? Your advice is welcomed. Hello Kirsten, audio files can be uploaded using the Media palette and then played using the button interactivity when something is clicked. This all depends on how you want the resulting e-book to be viewed, what you want it to do and on what devices.. Rob, do you have experience using ibookauthor — the apple program? Hello Sean. Hi Ron, Thanks for the good info. I followed your instructions and saved the document.

I opened the file again in Acrobat Pro and checked the settings. They remain set as you directed. Have you tested this before? Do you know of anything else I can do to prevent copying of content? However, my main reason for adding the password is to get rid of that Mac bug that puts a pink bar at the top of the PDF in Acrobat saying that you have to fill out a form whenever there are interactive elements in the PDF.

I explain this in more detail here here. They are probably more secure on Kindle? It's nice to meet you!
