Zoom in and out

Use the Zoom tool or the Zoom commands to magnify the size of documents.

Zoom in or out

indesign zoom in presentation mode

  • To magnify to the next preset percentage, activate the window you want to view and choose View > Zoom In . To reduce the view to the previous preset percentage, choose View > Zoom Out .
  • To set a specific magnification level, type or choose a level in the Zoom Level box in the application bar.

In Mac OS, you can display the zoom percentage in the status bar by hiding the application bar (Window > Application Bar). In Windows, you cannot hide the application bar.

  • To zoom in or out, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while using the mouse scroll wheel or sensor.
  • To magnify by dragging, select the Zoom tool and drag around the area you want to magnify.

Use power zoom

Power zoom offers a quick way to scroll through your document pages. Using the grabber hand, you can use zoom in or out and scroll through your entire document. This feature is especially useful for long documents.

You must be in Layout view to use power zoom.

indesign zoom in presentation mode

To activate the grabber hand, you can also hold down the spacebar or hold down Alt/Option while in text mode.

The document zooms out so that you can see more of the spread. A red box indicates the view area.

  • With the mouse button still held down, drag the red box to scroll through the document pages. Press arrow keys or use the mouse scroll wheel to change the size of the red box.

The document window returns to its original zoom percentage or to the size of the red box.

Zoom to Actual Size

  • Double-click the Zoom tool.
  • Choose View > Actual Size.
  • Type or choose a magnification level of 100 in the Zoom Level box in the application bar.

Adjust the view

Focus on the desired area of your document by fitting pages and spreads within the active window and by scrolling the view.

Fit the page, spread, or pasteboard within the active window

  • Choose View > Fit Page In Window.
  • Choose View > Fit Spread In Window.
  • Choose View > Entire Pasteboard.

Scroll the view

You can easily adjust the degree to which pages or objects are centered in the document window. These techniques are also useful for navigating between pages.

Click the horizontal or vertical scroll bars or drag the scroll box.

Press Page Up or Page Down.

Use the mouse scroll wheel or sensor to scroll up and down. To pan left or right, press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you use the mouse scroll wheel or sensor.

InDesign makes it easy to jump from page to page in a document. For example, just as most web browsers provide Back and Forward buttons to navigate through pages you’ve visited, InDesign keeps track of the order in which you’ve viewed pages in a document.

  • To move through pages in the order in which you viewed them during the current session, choose Layout > Go Back or Go Forward .

indesign zoom in presentation mode

To go to a specific page, choose Layout > Go To Page, specify the page number, and click OK. Or, click the downward-facing arrow at the right of the page box, and then choose a page.

indesign zoom in presentation mode

  • To go to a parent page, click in the page box at the lower left of the document window. Type the first few letters of the parent page name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS). Or, in the Pages panel, double-click a parent page icon.

Work with additional windows

You can open additional windows for the same document or for other InDesign documents. With additional windows, you can compare different spreads simultaneously, especially spreads that aren’t adjacent. You can also display different magnifications of the same page, so that you can work closely on details while watching how the changes affect the overall layout. In addition, you can display a parent page in one window, and pages based on it in other windows, to see how editing the parent page affects various parts of the document.

When you reopen the document, only the last-used window appears.

  • To create a new window for the same document, choose Window > Arrange > New Window.
  • To cascade or tile windows, choose Window > Arrange > Cascade to arrange all windows into a stack, with each window offset slightly. Or, choose Window > Arrange > Tile to display all windows equally without overlapping.
  • To activate a window, click the window tab or title bar. Or, choose the name of the view in the Window menu. Multiple windows for a document are numbered in the order they were created.
  • To close all windows for the active document, press Shift+Ctrl+W (Windows) or Shift+Command+W (Mac OS).
  • To close all windows for all open documents, press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+W (Windows) or Shift+Command+Option+W (Mac OS).

Use anti-aliasing for smoothing edges

Anti-aliasing smooths the jagged edges of type and bitmap images by softening the color transition between edge pixels and background pixels. Since only the edge pixels change, no detail is lost.

  • Choose Edit > Preferences > Display Performance (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Display Performance (Mac OS).

You can enable or disable anti-aliasing for each of the view settings. For example, you can enable anti-aliasing for High Quality view and disable it for Fast view.

  • Select Enable Anti-aliasing.

When display capabilities are insufficient to show text at a small size, InDesign displays the text as a dimmed bar. This behavior is called greeking type. Any type at or below the specified type size is replaced on‑screen with non-letterforms that act as placeholders.

You can specify different Greek Type values for each of the view settings.

  • For Greek Type Below, type a value, and then click OK.

To control whether to greek text and images when you scroll a document, open the Interface section of the Preferences dialog box, drag the Hand Tool slider to the desired level of performance versus quality, and then click OK.

Calculate values in panels and dialog boxes

You can perform simple math in any numerical edit box. For example, if you want to move a selected object 3 units to the right using the current measurement units, you don’t have to work out the new horizontal position—simply type +3 after the current value in the Transform panel.

Panels use the measurement system selected in the Preferences dialog box; however, you can specify values in another measurement instead.

To replace the entire current value with a mathematical expression, select the entire current value.

To use the current value as part of a mathematical expression, click before or after the current value.

For example, 0p0+3 or 5mm + 4.

  • Press Enter or Return to apply the calculation.

In the Control panel and the Transform panel, you can duplicate the selected object and apply the calculation to the duplicate (instead of the original). Enter the calculation and press Alt+Enter (Windows) or Option+Return (Mac OS).

Enter values in panels and dialog boxes

Panels and dialog boxes use the measurement units and increments defined in the Edit > Preferences > Units & Increments (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > Units & Increments (Mac OS) dialog box. However, you can specify values using any of the supported measurement units at any time by temporarily overriding the current preference settings.

Type a value in the box, and then press Enter or Return.

Drag the slider.

Drag the dial.

Click the arrow buttons in the panel to change the value.

Click in the box and then use the up or down arrow keys on the keyboard to change the value.

Select a value from the menu associated with the box.

When you make a change using the arrow buttons, arrow keys, or pop‑up menus, InDesign applies the change immediately.

Create Awesome Slides from InDesign using in5’s Presentation Mode

' src=

Adobe InDesign has long had methods for publishing presentations—directly from InDesign using the  Presentation Mode or via PDF using  Full Screen Mode —but these methods never reached the level of sophistication and control found in Powerpoint and Keynote presentations.

That’s because those methods didn’t support many of InDesign’s powerful interactive features like Animation and Multi-State Objects. They simply produced static slideshows with no controllable transitions between slides.

In the past, I’ve modified my in5 output from InDesign so that I could present slides using HTML and include interactivity in my presentations.

When I noticed that my favorite conference— Creative Pro Week —now includes an entire day on presentations (dubbed the  Click conference) it got my wheels turning about adding explicit presentation capabilities to in5.

Presentation expert, Mark Heaps , is heading up that section of the conference and also presenting an InDesign session on presentations.

I reached out to Mark and asked him what it would take to make InDesign an awesome presentation tool. You can see the results of our discussions below.

This first video shows a simple presentation in action.

Why Make Presentations with InDesign?

Here are a few reasons why you might want to create presentations with InDesign and export them to HTML using in5 .

  • Sophisticated Master Pages.
  • Unlimited Paragraph and Character Styles for your text.
  • The ability to create interactivity ( e.g., Object States and Buttons).
  • The ability to create Animation (and connect it to Buttons).
  • The ability to share your presentation on your own site, including on mobile devices.
  • Option to embed HTML ( e.g., complex animation from Adobe Animate or Tumult Hype).
  • Option to easily port your presentation to Sales Enablement platforms, kiosks, and retail displays (more on that below).

Setting up Presentation Mode within InDesign

Once you have the latest version of in5 installed, you find two new menu items under  in5 > Enhancements .

The first one is the  Presentation Mode panel.

This panel enables all of the settings shown in the video above, such as Slide Builds using bullet items and animations.

It also sets up the typical slide navigation (keyboard presses and clicking) and enables full screen mode.

It even lets you enable the  Save to Home Screen —the closest thing to full screen on iOS —a capability on iPhones and iPads in case you want to take your presentation mobile. When you save to the Home Screen, you can also have a custom icon on the desktop and your presentation launches without the web browser interface (without going through the App Store).

Check out how the Presentation Mode panel works in the video below.

Presentations of all shapes and sizes

Presentations aren’t limited to slide decks that are presented to a live audience.

Consider these other types of slide-driven presentations.

  • Museum displays
  • Interactive kiosks
  • Retail Store displays
  • Tradeshow booth

There are two other types of presentations that I want to address in a bit more depth.

Sales Enablement (what the heck is that?)

Sales Enablement is a process or a platform that makes it easier to sell a product, especially a complex product.

Many sales enablement platforms come with a Content Management System (CMS), shared directories, and mobile apps.

The mobile apps let salespeople access up-to-date presentations on their mobile device (offline) so that they can present to potential customers (even in an elevator).

Thus, Sales Enablement is a bridge between content creators ( i.e., marketing & design) and the people inside their business who need to use that content ( i.e.,  salespeople).

Marketing & Design > cloud repository > salesperson’s mobile device > in-person pitch

There are several platforms that support HTML content for sales presentations.

  • Mobile Locker

Self-Running Slideshows

Some presentations don’t need someone clicking through them to be useful.

David Blatner, co-host of Creative Pro Week, asked about adding an autoplay feature so that he could show InDesign-based slides with animation between presentations at the conference.

Check out the autoplay features in the video below.

Custom Slide Transitions

Part of my discussions with Mark Heaps centered around the ability to create “push transitions” (almost like parallax scrolling) where one slide seems to shove another slide over with a continuous background.

You can see examples of that effect, and how to create it in the video below.

To create these effects, there’s now a  Custom Slide Transitions panel under  in5 > Enhancements .

The panel lets you control  in and  out transitions for each slide (InDesign page).

How to make those push transitions super easy

Slicing up a big image into multiple images is doable from Photoshop or InDesign, but it’s time consuming.

Why not make it easier?

That’s what the  Slice Multi-page Image dialog can do.

It automatically cuts up the image for you, and optionally arranges on the pages (adding new pages when necessary) and applies push transitions based on the position of the slices.

See it do the cutting, layout, and push detection in the video below.

Note that the Enhancements described in this article are available to in5 Pro plans (or higher).

in5 Export Settings

Once last thing to make life even a little easier.

I’ve bundled up the export Presets to use with the in5 dialog for presentations.

Hi Justin: Awesome this new feature of In5.But I’m unable to make automatic bullets on my text.

I’m using the live text preset to export my work.

Hi Iñaki, Send me your InDesign file and I’ll take a look.

' src=

I’m also unable to get the automatic bullets to work. Is there something that needs to be applied to the bullet text box for In5 to know I want to animate them? I’m running InDesign 2018 if that matters

how do you save these interactive files to be show when completed?

There’s an HTML file and a corresponding assets folder. The two have to be distributed together, so zipping is usually the way to go. https://ajar.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/26000033384-sharing-zipped-html-files-via-email

Hello Justin,

It is possible to see the file exported by in5 in the computer before publish? Thank you

Yes, in5 exports to the local computer and immediately gives you the option to open the file in your web browser.

' src=

I’m using Presentation Mode and On Page Click Animations in a pitch deck. The animations are working perfectly in Firefox and Safari, but not always in Chrome. Do you know why?

We’ll be happy to help with that! 🙂

First, make sure you’re on the latest version: https://ajarproductions.com/pages/products/in5/download.php

InDesign Tip: Viewing Layouts in Presentation Mode

Many designers using InDesign find that too many distractions in the application window prevent them from getting a clear view of their layouts. Many choose to either save their layouts as PDF files and open them in Acrobat, or print paper proofs each time they make a change. Options that can save time and trees  are InDesign’s Preview Mode, which suppresses all non-printing page elements like grids and guides when displaying a layout, and Presentation Mode.

To use these options, make certain that nothing is selected in the layout and press W to toggle Preview Mode on and off, or press Shift-W to toggle Presentation Mode on and off. You can also change the visibility of the items in the layout and application window with the Screen Mode button at the bottom of the toolbox, or choose  View>Screen Mode .

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode displays an InDesign layout as a presentation, which is similar to viewing it as a PDF. With Presentation Mode selected, the application menu, panels, guides, and frame edges are hidden and a dark background is added. This display mode is a great way to view a multi-page layout for proofing or when sharing your screen to deliver a presentation.

The following keystrokes are also available for navigating through a layout while in Presentation Mode:

Note: You cannot edit a layout in Presentation Mode. 

For more information about viewing layouts in other screen modes, see Workspace Basics  on Adobe’s InDesign Help page.

Zoom in InDesign

Switching between the tools in InDesign can make you lose valuable time and make your arm hurt! My left hand is always on my keyboard, so I use my modifier keys to switch between my tools.  Hold Command and Spacebar (mac) | CTRL and Spacebar (win) while you’re on any tool. The zoom tool will be temporarily active. Use the tool by either a single click or a click and drag around the area you want to see closer.  Release your keys on the keyboard and you’ll return to the tool you were previously on.  Keyboard Shortcuts  Command and the “+” key | CTRL and the “+” key – will zoom into the selected item in both InDesign and Illustrator (2017)

Command and the “-” key | CTRL and the “-” key  – will zoom out 

Command and the “0” key | CTRL and the “0” key – will fit the page into the window (don’t use the “0″ key on the numeric keypad.)

Command, Option and the “0” key | CTRL, Alt and the “0” key – will fit the spread (InDesign) or all the art boards (Illustrator) in the window.  Happy Zooming!

Make engaging presentations in InDesign.

We all know what to expect with the usual slide presentations — and they can start looking the same. When stakeholder approval is riding on your project presentation, it’s critical to make it unique, engaging, and memorable. This is where InDesign comes through.

Decorative background

InDesign lets you easily customize screens and text and include surprise elements, like .psd files or movie clips — so you can add your own illustrations and both sound and video files to make your work really stand out. Plus, it’s a simple two-step command to export and immediately preview, so you can quickly see it through your audience’s eyes and tell if it’s ready to go.

Let’s look at how you can use InDesign’s easy-to-use, powerful tools to make your presentation impactful and entertaining.

Set your page dimensions.

1. Set your page dimensions.

Click on File in the InDesign main menu, then New Document . A dialog box will open.

If you’re not sure what dimensions to use, set the page width to 12 in and the page height to 9 in. These are good general dimensions for a slide deck. Click Create and a blank page will appear..

2. Choose a background image.

A simple approach is often best when it comes to slide decks. A striking background image with some text overlay can be very compelling. The deck’s title can also become part of the background.

Choose a background image.

3. Add images and text.

Once you’ve created a blank page, you can drag just about any image file into it — including Photoshop (.psd) files, PDFs, Illustrator (.ai) files, JPEGs, PNGs, or GIFs.

Add images and text #2

4. Insert page numbers.

Adding page numbers will help you and your audience keep track of any sequentially paged documents. To insert page numbers, select Type from the main menu, then Insert Special Character , then Markers , and finally Current Page Number . InDesign will automatically number the slides.

5. Complete your presentation.

Take advantage of InDesign’s ability to add interactive features for your presentation. From movies and sound clips to hyperlinks, cross references, and page transitions, you’ve got options to make your story — or case — more compelling.

Complete your presentation.

6. Export your slide deck.

When you’ve finished creating your deck, the final step is to export it in a format that can be projected or distributed. Exporting as Adobe PDF (Interactive) lets you play or click through on interactive content directly in the presentation.

Click File in the main menu, then Export . From the Format dropdown menu, select Adobe PDF (Interactive) , and then click Save .

We’ve barely scratched the surface of the presentations you can create in InDesign.

You can export content from an InDesign document to XML, HTML, and other formats for publishing on the Internet. After you’ve tagged the document or content section, changing the format is as simple as selecting from a dropdown. Learn more on our InDesign help page .

Presentations are sometimes your one shot to keep your project moving forward. With InDesign’s tools allowing for creativity, you have more ways to communicate your vision, designs, and project goals — and have fun with it from start to finish.

Adobe InDesign Cheat Sheet: Every Shortcut for Windows and Mac

Speed up your workflow by using these handy Adobe InDesign shortcuts for Windows and Mac.

Adobe InDesign is without doubt the best and most popular application for desktop publishing in the world. It simplifies the process of making print and digital documents, enabling you to lay out graphics and text exactly where and how you want them.

Like most of Adobe's creative software, it's also incredibly deep. You can create all manner of documents while barely scratching the surface of what it can do. The menus are jam-packed with options.

But you can save yourself some valuable time by learning all the keyboard and mouse shortcuts. These allow you to do more in less time, making frequently repeated actions less laborious.

You can create your own keyboard shortcuts by heading to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in InDesign.

FREE DOWNLOAD: This cheat sheet is available as a downloadable PDF from our distribution partner, TradePub. You will have to complete a short form to access it for the first time only. Download the Adobe InDesign Keyboard Shortcuts Cheat Sheet .

Adobe InDesign Keyboard Shortcuts

Using indesign with other adobe tools.

InDesign is great by itself, but it's even better when used with Adobe's other tools, particularly Illustrator and Photoshop. You can do some basic image editing and vector creation in InDesign, but it's nowhere near as powerful.

Illustrator is, of course, a vector graphics application, so it's ideal for creating illustrations and background images, which you can then import into InDesign. You can also use Illustrator to create vectors of raster images .

Photoshop, meanwhile, enables you to edit raster images, like photographs. It's best if you want to apply filters, resize images, or make other edits that would be difficult or impossible in InDesign. It also converts images from one format to another, which can be essential when creating print documents with high-definition pictures.

Zoom Tool in Adobe InDesign

How to change the magnification view in InDesign

  • PHP Programming
  • Java Programming
  • Javascript Programming
  • Delphi Programming
  • C & C++ Programming
  • Ruby Programming
  • Visual Basic

In Adobe InDesign , you'll find the Zoom button and related tools in the following locations: the magnifying glass tool in the Toolbox , the current magnification field in the lower corner of a document, in the magnification pop-up menu next to the current magnification field and in the View menu at the top of the screen. When you need to work up close and personal in InDesign, use the Zoom tool to enlarge your document.

These instructions work for both the Windows and Mac versions of Adobe InDesign CC.

Options for Zooming in InDesign

InDesign supports several different methods for increasing the zoom:

  • Choose the Zoom tool — the magnifying glass in the Toolbox — and then click an area in your document. You can choose the Zoom tool by clicking it or by using the keyboard shortcut Z . It zooms into the next larger view size based on your current magnification. Each additional click moves the magnification to the next present zoom percentage. To zoom back out, choose the Zoom tool, hold down the Option key on a Mac or the Alt key in Windows and then click on the document. Each click reduces the view. When in zoom-in mode, your mouse pointer becomes a magnifying glass with a plus sign. In the zoom-out mode, the magnifying glass has a minus sign. When the document is at maximum zoom, the magnifying glass is blank and displays no sign.
  • Temporarily select the zoom-in tool by holding down the Cmd + Spacebar keys on a Mac or the Ctrl + Spacebar keys in Windows to zoom in.
  • Switch to the Zoom tool using the Cmd or Ctrl + Spacebar keystroke combination and then click and drag a rectangular selection box around the area you want to zoom in on and release the mouse button. InDesign zooms in on that selection to make it fit the publication window.
  • Zoom to a specific magnification from 5 percent to 4000 percent by typing the percentage in the magnification field in the bottom corner and then pressing Return or Enter . 
  • Click on the arrow beside the magnification field to display the magnification menu and choose a preset increment.
  • Use the View menu to Zoom In or Zoom Out .

Learn how to create an interactive slide presentation in Adobe InDesign

indesign zoom in presentation mode

In this tutorial, learn how to create interactive slide presentations for mobile platform, using Adobe InDesign. While the focus for this lesson is creating the layout for mobile, the techniques used will carry over to any intended platform.

The topics that will be covered in this lesson include setting up button structures as well as applying animation to the illustrations on each page in the document. I'll also go over publishing online and show you the how the slides look on mobile platform.

So, let's get started!

The first step, once you have your design in order, is setting up the navigation structure – essentially taking viewers through the presentation seamlessly using the left and right arrow buttons. To do this, we'll set up button interactions to the arrow icons placed on the pages.

Setting Up Buttons

On Page 1, click the Right Arrow icon and in the Buttons and Forms panel, convert the object into a button.

Rename the button Forward 1.

Click the Plus icon to add an Action and choose Go to Page under the EPub Only header. (Tip: You can also use the Next Page or Previous Page options if the document is meant for PDF Interactive).

Select your Zoom option. In this lesson it's OK to leave it on Inherit Zoom.

Type the page destination. Because this is the first forward button on Page 1, we'll type the destination to go to Page 2.

You will repeat the same steps for the remaining forward buttons in the document, setting respective page destinations for each. Once the forward buttons are done, you can repeat the same steps for the previous buttons throughout.

Great! Now that you've set up all the button structures, it's time to add animation to each illustration in this layout. The goal is to have the animations load when the transitioning to the next page. In this lesson, I set up the animations to fly in from left and fly in from right – alternating with each page flip.

Adding Animation

Open the Animation panel, which can be found by going to Window > Animation.

Click on the artwork on Page 1 and in the Animation panel, select the preset of Fly in from Right.

Set the Duration to play at 1 second.

In the Opacity dropdown choose None for a nice hard transition when flipping through the presentation. Having a Fade In effect is fine, but I found for something like the project, having the Animation play in on a hard transition is better.

To have the animation play from a longer distance, click on the green motion path indicator once with the Selection Tool and drag out the end point of the path off the page.

Go through all the illustrations in the document and repeat the same steps – altering the preset from Fly in from Right and Fly in from Left as well as setting the motion path indicator distances respectively.

In this lesson we'll also go over how to publish the work online and I'll show you how it'll look in a mobile web browser. Remember, this is an HTML5 interactive design and is not an alternative to a mobile application.

However, it can also be exported as an ePub (Fixed Layout) document and opened in your favourite E-Reader, such as Apple Books or Adobe Digital Editions.

  2. How to change zoom settings in Indesign

    In the Adobe world at least InDesign, Illustrator and PhotoShop are using Alt + Scroll for zooming with the mouse wheel. On Windows and on MacOS. Acrobat Pro and Adobe Reader are different with Ctrl + Scroll on Windows 10. FWIW: You can zoom in and out with the Ctrl key in InDesign on Windows.
