    Putting together a publication for iPad using cs6.

    I have content that fits a standard iPad format BUT I also have these very long timelines (170cm x 21 cm). These need to be displayed zoomed in – with the reader swiping right to accessing the remainder of the content. So a horizontal scroll. Whenever I test it on the iPad it displays the full image (so zoomed out and tiny).

    So how do I make sure I view them as I require?

    Sorry a bit of a novice with ePub (and pdf’s for iPad).

    See example of what I mean here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6718644#6718644

    Thanks!

    That is a good question, I’m pretty sure this is not possible straight out of InDesign and you will need to find a developer or company that could help you with horizontal scrolling. What you are seeing currently is how most images on an e-readers are set to display by most developers out there, everyone fits them to the view port. I want to say that you might have to look into non-linear content in ePub3 to do something like what you are wanting, but even then I’m not sure if it can do everything you are wanting. This is something that will need to be hand coded by an ebook developer and I might call up eBook Architects or Aptara to see if they can help you achieve this and let you know what is or isn’t possible.
