You can override some of these preferences for an individual index by selecting new options during the index-building process. In the Preferences dialog box under Categories , select Catalog.

How to make a responsive Ebook without coding. We are revising a massive, multi-chapter handbook for field professionals in early childhood special education to use either online or print out, and we would appreciate your suggestions for the best software in which to create the document.
The handbook is not particularly complicated: One volume of approximately pages will be narrative text with pages that enable users to make notes online. A second volume will be a collection of pdfs and other files for use as reference. Both volumes will contain live links to a variety of web-based resources resource centers, regulations, etc.
An additional challenge is that the document be accessible to the visually impaired—that is, compliant with Section of the Rehabilitation Act of requiring that federal agencies make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities.
The handbook sections will be posted for access and download on two websites. Some users will access and use the document on their mobile devices; others will print and keep it in binders as a desk reference and training resource.

Yes, you can. You can create an interactive PDF eBook for sure. The biggest question I have is what is the difference between publishing the ebook to DPS versus just exporting it to an epub file? Second, I created a print booklet using indesign, and now it needs to be converted to an interactive ebook. Do I need to recreate the booklet and adjust the set-up for Digital Publishing?
The major differences between DPS versus exporting to epub is, with DPS you will get broad interactivity more user engaging content , mp4 video support, high fidelity output. DPS provides you interactivity and rich media display, eschewing flexibility in display for immersive and engaging design. Whereas EPUB provides you limited interactivity, very less support for video depends on device , and the layout depends on the device.
