Abstract
Object interaction preservation from design to digital publication is described. In example embodiments, a design includes overlapping objects with object interaction effects. The design has a document object model (DOM). A digital publishing module constructs a DOM tree with each node having an object of the design. The DOM tree is analyzed to identify objects that interact with an overlapped object. Objects with dynamic content and those with no overlapped object can be excluded. A bounding region of each identified object is investigated with regard to object layering data and object interaction attributes. Based on these design aspects, the digital publishing module prepares an object snapshot of the bounding region to reflect an appearance resulting from the interactive objects within the bounding region. The object snapshot is incorporated into a digital publication DOM tree while maintaining the object layering data. Using this DOM tree, the module produces a digital publication.
