Answer 1

Nope nope nope.

This is not an InDesign feature. That's something that's programmed in Acrobat. It's called Page Transitions.

You can create an interesting effect that occurs each time a page advances by using page transitions.

You can also set page transitions for a group of documents using the Batch Processing command.

1. Do one of the following:

• Choose Advanced > Document Processing > Page Transitions.

• In the Pages panel, select the page thumbnails you want to apply transitions to, and choose Page Transitions from the options menu .

2. In the Set Transitions dialog box, choose a transition effect from the Transition menu. These transition effects are the same as those set in the Full Screen preferences.

3. Choose the direction in which the transition effect occurs. Available options depend on the transition.

4. Choose the speed of the transition effect.

5. Select Auto Flip, and enter the number of seconds between automatic page turning. If you do not select this option, the user turns pages using keyboard commands or the mouse.

6. Select the Page Range you want to apply transitions to.

• If users select Ignore All Transitions in the Full Screen preferences, they do not see the page transitions.
