Join Mike Rankin for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a folio, part of InDesign CS6: Interactive Documents.
After you've created your InDesign layout and added interactivity with folio…overlays, the next step in the DPS project is to create the folio itself.…In this movie, I want to create the folio for the Roux Academy that will include…the course catalog and the reasons why it's great to study at Roux.…A folio is what will appear as a whole publication or as an issue in the Library…view of the Adobe Content Viewer or a multi-issue custom viewer.…To create a folio you work in the Folio Builder panel which you can open by…choosing Window > Folio Builder.…
I have it open here and the first thing I'm going to do in the panel is to…sign into my account.…I'll go to the Panel menu and choose Sign In, or I can just click here.…I'll enter my credentials and click Sign In.…Now I can see from the filled in circle icon on the right that I'm signed in.…You don't have to be signed into your account to create a folio, you can create…a local folio on your machine and upload it later.…So create a new folio, I'll click New and I'll name it Roux Academy.…

Q: I'm following along with the movie "Using a SWF slideshow in a PDF," but when I go to the Tools menu in Acrobat, there is no Multimedia option. Can you help me complete the tutorial?
A: With each new version of Acrobat, Adobe seems to enjoy moving commands to different menus, and sometimes renaming them. To remove the background in Acrobat XI, take the Selection tool (black arrow) and right-click anywhere in the window and choose Properties. This opens the Edit SWF dialog box where you can select Transparent Background in the Launch Settings. You can do the same thing by choosing Tools > Interactive Objects > Select Object and then double clicking anywhere on the SWF.
