Digital magazine apps freelancing projects

Hi,
My name is Jay. I'm a Digital apps designer for ipad and iphone. Can anybody help me find some DPS freelancing projects? If anybody having such projects in hand please mail me : [email protected]

Yes, Adobe includes JavaScript API support for geolocation. For example, you can use these APIs in the custom library or store to determine where a reader is located and filter content based on that location. Or, you can display different content in an article depending on the user's location. The free DPS Tips app includes an example that shows the nearest seafood restaurant (DPS Tips > HTML Examples > Geolocation APIs).
See Getting Started with the geolocation API | Adobe Developer Connection.

Flash Digital Magazine iPad app in the appStore

Hi everyone,
our first iPad only app just got accepted in the appStore. It's a digital magazine solution for small buisnesses, created with AS3 and the Adobe Packager.
Users can download issue's when they are available, and store them on the ipad for offline reading. Each issue is fully interactive, and can be deployed on our own servers for distribution.
The app can be found in the Dutch appStore (the magazine is in dutch only) on the following link:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=425656038&mt=8
Many thanx to all who posted on this forum, developing sure had it's share of problems and the topics here helped a lot.
If anyone has any question about how the app was made, feel free to ask.
Greetings,
Kriz

REPOST: Making a digital magazine using Indesign, How to publish it without purchasing DPS?

Hi there,
So I have posted this on the Indesign forum, bit have been told to repost the question here.
I am creating a Digital Magazine for a school project. It is getting marked by a marker and they obviously need to see how the magazine works etc.
I am not looking into purchasing DPS just for this project. I just want to find a way to put the magazine on the iPad so its fully functional, I am in no way looking to publishing it to the App Store or anything like that.
Someone suggested I still download the Adobe DPS tools installed (Folio Builder and Folio Overlays).... (Does that require me getting the Digital publishing suite?)
Or I publish it as an Interactive PDF..
My final question is how would I go about doing both?
Thank you.

Before you start I suggest you to understand the difference between Apps and documents. An App It's a self contained content that could be delivered only by the marketplaces (iTunes, GooglePlay, Amazon). If you choose this solution you have to respect their policies.
If you choose a document such as a PDF you are free to deliver it as you prefer, by your store, by your network, via mail, etc.
To read a document you need an App such as a Acrobat Reader.
In between the document and the App there is the device and the operating system. That's why It's not so easy to mantein all the interactivity that you can potentially place in a PDF when you read on a device such as iPad.
So we can define many scenarios:
- Deliver your content using a PDF - lower compatibility with interactivity, no adaptive layout
- Deliver your content using ePUB - lower compatibility with interactivity, adaptive layout
- Deliver your content using an App created with a solution like the DPS - high compatibility with interactivity
- Deliver your content using the developing - everything your target devices can support
In my opinion I suggest you to adopt a CreativeCloud for education (very cheap) so you can deliver your content in all this ways than choose a good consultant :-)

Im creating a Digital magazine using InDesign. How can I publish it without using DPS?

Hi there,
I feel really stupid asking this question.
But Im creating a digital magazine for a school project and I only need to publish it or view it on an Ipad just for the marker who is looking at it, Can see how it works and Can mark it. Is there anyway I can go about doing that without purchasing the DPS. As its alot of money and I dont wish to buy it just to put this one magazine on an Ipad. Its just for my final yearlie school project. So again I dont see the point of purchasing it just for this one project, In which I will never use it again...
Thank you.

As long as you have the Adobe DPS tools installed (Folio Builder and Folio Overlays), and you have a free Adobe ID, you can create folios and can view them on your iPad. You can share them with another person who has an Adobe ID. You cannot publish the folio on the Apple App Store without a Creative Cloud subscription, or by purchasing the rights to publish a Single Edition app.
For further questions, please ask on the Adobe DPS forum:

Can you move a magazine app designed by another company to Adobe DPS?

My company had a digital company (who shall remain nameless) produce their magazine app under the (digital company's) information. I want to transfer everything over to Adobe DPS because frankly, this digital company did not live up to their promises, have terrible customer service, and are strictly just adding buttons to a pdf (not interactive at all). With that said, do I need to start from scratch and build a new app? Or can I just obtain the app that's already been created? If not, do I just tell the other company to delete our app? Thanks!

If you move to DPS you'll wind up building a new application using our tools and submitting that to Apple as an update to the existing application. Your readers will see an update to the app and when they download it they'll have the new version.
What is more complicated to sort out is whether readers would still be entitled to content they'd previously purchased. That depends a lot on you previous setup, how the previous product handled purchases, etc.

Digital Publishing and Interactivity with digital magazine on my own server

Hello... I am researching what would be the best plan of action for my project... need to design a digital magazine for the web that is interactive and has rich media like video, animations, etc.
I am thinking of doing the following... design my animations in Edge Animate that will output html5 friendly animations, then use Indesign to design my master digital magazine like the way I want to with embedded rich media and symbols that have interactivity options.
I am unsure of my next step, or if I am on the right track... should I bring in this Indesign file as a format compatible with Html5, CSS3, Wordpress or what? And use Jquery plugins within the overall structure to add flash like effects.
Any suggestions?

What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

Hello..
"what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
Thanks and Regards..

We are all users here.
There is no one here from Apple.
In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules. You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
No one here is going to be able to help you.
Good Luck.

Can I design a digital magazine with CS2?

I am for the moment using InDesign CS2 and I need to design a digital magazine. It will be uploaded onto the App Store to be viewed on tablets etc. I have seen many videos on how it's done on newer versions, but I need to know if it can be done on CS2 and if so are there any tips I could use?
Many thanks

You need to upgrade to CS6 or move to CC.

Digital Magazine Questions - Photos and Sizing

I am in the process of helping to create a digital magazine. As I have never participated in this medium before, I have some questions. Before I really start laying out my project in InDesign, does anyone have thoughts on page sizing? We plan to publish our magazine via 3D Issue, with a primary goal of it being viewed on desktops and laptops. What size should I make my pages?
Also, photography is playing a key role in this magazine. What file format, size, etc should I use? I tried putting some full page photos into a mockup I was working on, and they came out all blurry. Sugestions?
I am using a Mac Pro running Adobe Creative Cloud, and ID CS6.
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply.
So I was thinking this could be an inactive PDF viewable via Acrobat Reader or a browser, and or iPad / Tablet magazine.
Ideally I would export one file to all formats if possible?

Publishing digital magazines

Hi Guys,
Can anyone advice me what is the best way to published our Digital magazines (Pdf format) to sell on iTunes..
Appreciate your help.
Thank you

I have a website where I want people to be able to download the magazine : This is only possible with DPS Enterprise edition, not using DPS Single Edition/CCM. Moreover it needs Apple iOS Developer Enterprise License as well.
Is my only option to build an app for the magazine to be viewed : All supported overlays and interactivity is visible on Adobe Content Viewer on iPad. If it is not working in ACV, most likely it will not work on the app.
Since you have CCM you can build Single Issue apps and would have to submit it to Appstore for mass distribution or individually add upto 100 UDID's in your Mobile Provisioning files for distribution to specific devices.

Make Flash Builder "Magazine" App. Appear in iOS 5 Newsstand?

I know that the Digital Publishing Suite/Service (DPS) can create a "magazine" app that will appear in the iOS 5 Newsstand. I'm evaluating creating my own "magazine" app. using Flash Builder or Flash Pro. Any clues on how to do so? I can understand if this isn't supported, since publishers using the DPS is in Adobe's economic interest. However it would be cool if I could somehow use the "app. descriptor" file to configure an iOS app. exported from the Flash development to appear in the Newsstand.
Thanks for any thoughts/opinions/answers!

Here's the solution:
The problem did not exist on an installation of Flash Builder on a spare MacBookPro.
On my main computer (the one with the Flash Builder issue) I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder 4.5 (then updated to 4.5.1). Creating an iOS Mobile Application now creates the correct code.
I have no idea why it was creating dodgy code.
The only difference with the new Flash Builder install is that SourceMate 3.0 is not installed yet. Perhaps something had gone wrong in the Adobe Updater when going from 4.5 to 4.5.1, who know...all speculation...anyhow it works now!

Where I can download viewer builder so i can build my magazine app in android?

Where I can download viewer builder so i can build my magazine app in android?

I'm not sure what Viewer Builder is part of and it doesn't seem to have its own subforum.
However, I'm afraid this Digital Editions subforum is not the right one.

Digital Magazine layout & data merge issues

If anyone can help or offer some advice on the following I would be extremely grateful. My main problem is applying a data merge to either an existing layout I have created or creating a layout from scratch but having varying box sizes containing merged data and specific numbers of records on particular pages.
The brief is:
Create a 28 page digital magazine.
The magazine will be published either weekly or fortnightly and contain around 500 'listings'. Each listing has an image, and 4 pieces of variable text.
My initial plan was to manually enter the listings information - this will take far too long each week. I am hoping to keep the same layout each week but just change the data on the listings pages by creating a new .csv file each week and applying it using the data merge feature.
22 of the pages contain 'listings'. The remaining pages are editorial.
I'm relatively new to data merge in InDesign. My knowledge of it's feature is limited to being able to create multiple records but they are all the same size and I don't see any options where I can designate how many records I would like to appear on a particular page and to then keep that layout so I can come back to it each week with a new .csv file and literally just drop it in and i'm done.
I need the layout of the 'listings' pages to vary so that in some cases there are 30 listings (records) on one page and on other pages there are 23, some are to have 35 etc. Also on the pages where there are 23 listings - the first 3 listings are to take significantly larger amoutns of space on the page (as featured listings of the week).
If anyone has used data merge in this way before and can help please let me know. I have produced a complete layout of the magazine but i'm guessing i'll have to scrap this and start again if I'm going to start using data merge.
thanks in advance!

like i said, the XML learning curve is steep as indesign's ability to handle XML on its own is pretty user unfriendly, but ID does get the job done.
depending on how dirty you want to get your hands, there is an additional book in conjunction to the title i'd mentioned earlier, and it is called "InDesign CS5 Automation Using XML & Javascript" by Grant Gamble which you may want to read. however this is a LOT to digest and certainly not for anyone unfamiliar with programming in javascript.
is the data for the publication exclusively coming from excel or is it coming from Management Information Software (MIS) which can export XML information? excel on a PC can generate XML but it is useless as a jelly pickaxe as there is a lot of extraneous information saved with the exported XML file.
there are several people on this forum with a wider experience on this topic than me, and hopefully they are reading this and can carry on with more detailed explanations.
i'm used to using online converters to take csv files to convert them to XML but the only real advantage of using XML generated this way is to create variable data which flows on in the same text box. This is opposed to ID's data merge which would not flow on the information but instead start the next record in a brand new text box, meaning if an entry has to move from the start to the end, it means making the merge again, whereas if an XML file was used i could simply open up the structure pane and move the record from record 1 to the last record.
AFAIK apart from indesign and the MIS used to generate the data, i believe that a piece of software called oxygen XML would help in editing the XML once it is generated, but i do not use oxygen XML myself, but perhaps other readers do and can assist you.
FYI, the project you are talking about is remarkably similar to one which i deal with at work... but we only ever receive the finished art as a PDF, but it appears that the construction method was the same as your idea - that is, take database file, parse it through indesign using different templates and then output it to a media, in my case a printed magazine. unfortunately i can't tell you exactly how they made it as it is proprietary to the client.

Building Digital Magazines using InDesignCS4, FlashCS4 & Dreamweaver

Can anyone help?
I am a designer using InDesignCS4 to export a 16 page document as a SWF file with a page curl page transition.
I am also exporting a static footer bar that holds a client logo and website address that acts as a hyperlink to the client's website. I currently place these 2 SWF files in Dreamweaver, 16pager above the footer, 1 above the other, and save as .html, upload to an ftp site to get the whole thing to work as a FlippingBook page curl Digital Magazine with static footer bar and hyperlink that directs to the clients website to download the corresponding PDF and print.
Now
I am no Flash developer, but what I would LIKE to do is export from InDesignCS4 as an Adobe Flash CS4 Pro (XFL) document, open up in Flash where I know each spread imports as its own frame, save as a new .fla file, create some great Text effects with actionscript, which I CAN do. But what I can't do is export this as a SWF file AND retain the page curl transition it would have had as a SWF from InDesign??? Is there a way, despite handing over to 'my' Flash developer to encode (according to every video tutorial I have seen on the subject!), where I can 'stitch these page frames together to export my frames from flash with page curl, have the footer bar independently at the bottom, have the whole thing scale as one flash animation but also include some features such as print, zoom and 'goto' page field? At the moment all this appears to be alot of coding work.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
S

The page curl is certainly just a referenced pre-compiled SWF file, which in theory should make it possible to include in a loadMovie() or similar procedures in Flash. Sounds easy enough to me to copy it from the ID presets to the project folder and include it, I'm just not sure if al lthe variables and parameters it may accept are documented somewhere...
