You are no longer being asked only to create documents for print. Your client or boss also wants you to create presentations for PDF or the web. Adobe has taken the interactive features added in InDesign CS4, and greatly expanded them in InDesign CS5.

interactivity.
In this training program, you will learn how to:
* Create buttons, including those that add actions to particular states of an object
* Use the Preview panel to preview interactivity within InDesign
* Add Flash animations within InDesign, create custom motion paths, and set
timing for the animations
* Build multiple state objects
* Incorporate Flash video
* Learn what features will export to Flash Player (SWF)
