Hello all,
I’ve been searching for hours with no success. (Please note I am a self taught, 10% capacity InDesign user, but I love the pain, I’ll stick with it)
I want to add a form to an ebook that will be published online. The only thing that works is the submit button. Text fields and check boxes are not responding (not editable, fillable). I tested the PDF interactive version, everything works beautifully.
Is there a trick to make it work online, or is it just for PDFs?
Thanks a lot!
Unfortunately, form fields are PDF only… I wish we could put them in EPUB or Publish Online, but it doesn’t work.
There is a tool that lets you export HTML with form fields, though, called in5. It’s a commercial tool (costs money), but is well worth it. See this page to see the fun stuff they’re doing with forms: https://ajarproductions.com/blog/2018/10/14/more-designer-control-for-interactive-projects-from-indesign-in5-3-3-update/
Thank you, David.
