Here you can preview a Flash-based animation of each effect.
(Alternatively, you can Control/right-click on a page icon in the panel.) The Page Transitions dialog appears. In the Pages panel of InDesign CS4, select Page Transitions Choose from the panel menu. Here's how to add page transitions to your PDF presentation: 1. It's easy to do, and, while you can't actually preview the page transitions in InDesign, you get some Flash-based previews in its new dialogs and panels so you can get some idea of what each of the transitions look like before you actually create the PDF file. Page transitions is one of the improved interactivity controls (along with hyperlinks and buttons) which can be used in either PDF files or SWF files generated in InDesign CS4. You also have no way to preview the appearance of the effects listed there. In Acrobat 9 Pro, you must choose Advanced Document Processing Page Transitions. Page transitions have been available in Acrobat for many versions, but they always had to be added after creating the PDF file.
Page transitions give visual sparkle by creating a 'Powerpoint-like' effect when switching between pages. But we can give them some extra sizzle by adding page transitions within InDesign CS4. Many of us send off presentations we create in InDesign as PDF files so they can be read by our colleagues, customers, or clients.
