Open up the Animation menu and at the bottom press the Convert to motion path icon.ĥ) Using the SWF Preview menu, you can preview how the animation will look through the little window just by pressing the play icon.Ħ) You can adjust the speed the star moves at by selecting it and going back into the Animation menu. Draw a wavy line starting from the center of the star.Ĥ) With the Selection Tool, select both the star and pencil line. Then using the Selection Tool, move the star just on the outside edge of the page like so:ģ) Click off the star and select the Pencil Tool (N). Click onto the canvas and on the pop-up window enter in these settings:Ģ) Set the star’s Stroke to none and its Fill to yellow. Here we’ll be animating a star along a wavy path:ġ) Open a new document and select the Polygon Tool on the side toolbar. But don’t worry, as I will show you how to get around this problem and produce your own interactive, animated PDFs.īefore we begin, make sure you have the right menu windows ready by going Window > Interactive and selecting Animation, Media, Buttons and Forms and SWF Preview. One problem though, is that InDesign can’t directly export these animations onto a PDF. In this tutorial I will demonstrate how to animate a shape along a path and how to make a shape animate on click. Although InDesign CS6 is primarily used for desktop publishing, it actually has some fairly sophisticated animation tools built into it.
