Plug-in for Adobe^® InDesign^®

A New Challenge

Publishers and enterprises across industries must solve a new, but core business problem: How can they publish interactive content to multiple digital devices - simultaneous to print and Web publishing - without increasing cost and staff? They need tools that allow them to publish quickly and economically on paper and digital.
They need to let designers, not programmers, create digital publications while they create print and Web publications. Aquafadas’ plug-in for Adobe InDesign is the answer to the challenge.

You Decide How Much You Invest in Digital Publishing

Our tools provide solutions for simple as well as complex needs. Some companies just want to publish existing documents digital at low cost. Other companies want to accomplish more ambitious projects, like the creation of an entirely new digital publication. Aquafadas’ plug-in for InDesign offers a wide range of options. Our clients can create design, content, and elegant navigation for an exceptional user experience from scratch. But they also can use existing publications, which were once created for print, and enhance those with video, slideshows, image galleries, interactivity, and more.

Designers can review their designs and content in real- time by downloading their documents into MyKiosk, an iPad app designed for testing apps on the iPad.
