IDML files are identified by the *.idml file extension. The files in an archive are described thoroughly in Adobe InDesign CS4 IDML File Format Specification. The entire set of these files represent a complete InDesign document.

IDML files (or packages) are ZIP archives, containing numerous XML files.IDML is used in several InDesign and InCopy file types: IDML (InDesign Markup Language) is an XML-based format, introduced in Adobe InDesign CS4, for representing InDesign content. I anticipate adding an equivalent scripting sample in the near future. It’s more likely you would use scripting to build and export SWFs. This last step demonstrates processing the kSWFExportCommandBoss and kXFLExportCommandBoss commands. Adds appropriate events (back and next) to these two buttons.Creates two text frames on the master pages and converts them both to buttons.At 100% scale this is 72 pixels per inch.The pages dimensions are small to create the desired SWF size.The code snippet does the following in C++. SDK/source/sdksamples/codesnippets/SnpExportDynamicDocument.cpp The source file lives in the following location in the InDesign CS4 Products SDK. Note: We added a few enhancements (XFL export, and output file selection) in the 6.0.1 update. The above SWF was exported using that code snippet. If you need to export SWF from a plug-in, take a look at the ExportDynamicDocument code snippet in the InDesign CS4 Products SDK. Release the mouse button when the page appears close to having turned.Hover the mouse cursor over the top right corner of the blue rectangle and drag it to the left.To turn the pages using drag and drop do the following: More interesting, you can use drag and drop to turn the pages as if you’re turning the pages of of a book or a magazine. After the first page you will also see a “Previous” button. This text was converted to a button in InDesign. You can turn the pages by clicking the text “Next”. The following is a 10 page InDesign CS4 document exported to SWF (Flash). InDesign CS4 adds the ability to export pages to Flash (SWF and XFL files).
