On Wednesday's, I post quick tips for Adobe apps. For building presentations in InDesign, your best bet is still to export a PDF and present in Acrobat. If Adobe intended for you to use this mode to show presentations, they would have supported transitions. Those transitions aren't shown in Presentation mode. Users can add transitions in InDesign that export with a PDF file. Although it seems clear to me that isn't Adobe's intention with the feature.

And if you are like me and build "PowerPoint" presentations in InDesign, it will be nice to preview your artwork in full screen mode before you export to PDF.Ĭould you actually use InDesign to show a presentation? I suppose you could. Presentation mode will be helpful when showing artwork to clients and coworkers. It's very similar to Full Screen Mode in Acrobat. Or you can click to advance and shift-click to go back. You can page between them using arrow keys. PaulEC, garrettm30 and emmrecs01 3 Quote Fixx Members 3. Of course you cannot do any custom transitions for text elements or images, but again that is why you should set up in Powerpoint if you need that. So, what is Presentation mode? It hides the palettes and toolbar and displays only your InDesign document surrounded by black. Design your pages and export as PDF and just plop them in Powerpoint.
