I am designing my portfolio and would like to create two different layouts with the same document.
Layout 1: Digital PDF that is like a one-page website where there are not several pages, just one long one that you scroll through
Layout 2: The long sheet PDF is able to break into pages to fit Letter size paper when printed.
My beginning solution was to make a single long page document in InDesign then use the poster setting in Adobe Acrobat. But this isn’t always reliable and some people don’t have acrobat.
My theoretical solutions that I need advice on is if I could create page breaks in a long single page document that would be read when trying to print it (but would keep the homogenous single page when read digitally), or to create multiple pages for the print version that would then combine as a single long page when opened digitally? Would liquid layouts be a solution? Or is there another method?

Hi there. Curious why you don’t want to use continuous view?

Hey Brittany,
Another possible solution to this problem, besides the one Brandy has given, would be to create an InDesign document with the pages connected vertically as a “spread”. Be sure that each “page” is connected in the file. The idea here is that you would have 2 separate documents to export. Just when you export as a PDF be sure to select “Spreads” under “Pages” when you want the long document and “Pages” under…”Pages” when you want the document divided.
I know you wanted just one document for this but besides the “Publish Online” or Digital PDF option this is about it.
If you have any questions about this, you can contact me through my website at http://www.shaneoconnelldesign.com
Thanks and good luck!
