PDF Presentation

Greetings and Salutations Treehouse Buddies,

I need help with presenting my working in a fun a cool way! :)

I have written a few movie scripts and I want to present them with a page turning effect from the bottom right corner. I also want to place it with a side bar on the left were someone can select other scripts, along with a download button next to the title.

How would I go about accomplishing this and what should I brush up on?

I never wrote a movie script and don't know much about this trade, BUT i know they have a lot of formatting and presentation conventions and they use specific software like Celtx. Since you already wrote the scripts, I'm assuming you did your research and followed all the conventions etc., but, just to be sure... have you? Regarding your actual question, sorry, I also don't know much about PDF and all that, but I'm sure some InDesign (or some other tool) wizard will be able to help you.

The scripts are done and I have it in PDF format, I just want to present the PDF format on the web and allow views to flip through other pages

Searching on google, I found a 99USD program that does exactly that. And also found that JS library: http://www.turnjs.com Yeah, I know, it's expensive, but, as I said, I think it's possible to do that on InDesign. Maybe with a good tutorial and a 30-day Adobe trial... Anyway, sorry for posting an answer without actually knowing the answer.
