InDesign 5.5 for iPad design question

joekidd191919 Apr 19, 2012 12:32 PM

Hi,

Just started designing a magazine for use on the iPad using InDesign 5.5. I have watched several videos concerning laying out articles both horizontally and vertically so that they will rotate accordingly when viewed on the iPad. After I upload it to the content viewer it just shows 1 way and won't rotate.

I know I must be missing a simple step but I can't seem to figure out what that step is.

ANY help at all would be appreciated!

Thanks!

PS: This is what I am currently doing:

Create folio.

Add article. In the article I have added both the tall and widescreen versions. Then upload.

thanks again

One possibility is that you added the two layouts as different articles. You should add (or better yet, import) the two layouts in the same article.

This is how it looks in the folio builder

FOLIO NAME

>>Article Name
>>>landscape layout
>>>portraint layout

if that makes sense?
is that how it is supposed to look basically?

again i appreciate any help

Yes, that's correct. When you preview it on the iPad, what happens?

(Also, check to make sure your iPad's orientation isn't locked.)
