PDF files can be uploaded directly to your app on the Twixl Platform. You can even mix InDesign .article files, HTML articles and PDF files in the same app.
TIPS:
How your PDFs have been generated is not important by itself, but there are a few things to take into account when creating these PDF files:
- If you export from Adobe InDesign, use the "Twixl Publisher PDF" export preset that has been installed automatically when you installed the plug-in.
- Make sure the PDF is RGB and not CMYK.
- Make sure the PDF doesn't use any ICC profiles as these are not supported on mobile devices.
- It's preferred not to flatten the PDF but to retain full transparency in order to avoid output artifacts and large file sizes.
- Please note that the Twixl Platform will not fix any of these problems automatically in PDF files that are uploaded.
