Can I convert an existing InDesign layout to HTML

Aug 20, 2012 8:41 AM

I have a client that we created an 8 pg ebook for in InDesign then saved as an interactive pdf with links. They are now asking if we can convert these files to html. Is there any way to easily do this that keeps the formatting using any of the Adobe suite products (acrobat, indesign, muse...)?

    File > Export.

     

     

     

    Make sure all of your styles are mapped to tags to keep the HTML clean.

     

     

     

    Note: this is for CS 5.5 and CS 6.

    Thanks. Unfortunately it wasn't set up with styles in the beginning so that doesn't solve the "do it cheap, easy and now" request from our client. At this point I've exported it as .swf which at least provides the pages and interactivity even if it does lose the searchability of html since every page is basically an image. Hoping that solves the problem for now and we can set it up right using DW next time around.

     

    Thanks for the quick response!
