About Digital Publishing Suite Subscriptions...

Hello, everyone!
I bought the Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition Monthly, but I didn't receive a Serial Number.
Is this subscription different than getting a Single edition serial number for a publication? or should I be able to upload apps to the iTunes Store / Android Market? That's what I was told when I got it, but no one has been clear about it at customer support.
Does someone around here has this service? I really could use some orientation about it since I already got it.
Thanks s lot!

Serial numbers are required only if you don't have a pro or enterprise subscription. When you sign into the Viewer Builder with the appropriate Adobe ID, you'll get more options, and you won't be prompted to enter a serial number.

I would like to learn more about using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

I would like to learn more about using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. I really don't know much about it nor do I know anyone who uses it yet. Is it specifically for creating apps for tablets? What about smart phones? We sometimes produce PDF publications that are posted to our website. Can DPS be used to produce more interactive online publications? What is a .folio application? What platforms are .folio apps used on?

DPS currently supports iPads, iPhones, and Large and XLarge Android devices. You can start here to get basic information and watch a few videos:

If you have an iPad or other mobile device, you can download and play with any of these apps created with DPS tools:

Status of Digital Publishing Suite inclusion in Creative Cloud?

What is the status of the DPS being included in Creative Cloud subscriptions? I signed up for notices of when this was happening, but have heard nothing. Adobe said it would be included some time in 2012.

Digital Publishing Suite: many are confused by the term

Call me pedantic but I know that many people are confused by the term Digital Publishing Suite. This name describes an extension to InDesign CS5.5/CS5 that provides a set of authoring tools but it also identifies a completely separate subscription service that Adobe runs to hosts Apps. A distinction should be made between these two.
Also in this forum it would be useful to flag items that only pertain to subscribers. Bob’s announcement today that Viewer Builder 1.5 is available stated For DPS Subscribers Only which is useful, but often in threads it is not clear whether comments refer to those with a subscription or those without.
Also I urge Adobe to include a Feature Requests section on this Forum (like the prerelease) in order for Adobe to keep in touch with the needs of “real” users.

Hi Graham,
The DPS name covers the full range of applications and services as they are all intrinsically linked. The InDesign Folio Builder and overlay creator tools, are used to produce folios to be uploaded to Acrobat.com. The Folio Editor tools available through digitalpublishing.acrobat.com allow the user to reorganise these same folios, add and edit the metadata and, if they are a subscriber, publish these folios to the fulfillment server so that they can be download to the iPad/Android tablet/Playbook. The viewer builder exists for subscribers to create the iOS or Android apps their customers will use to download the folios from the fulfillment server.
I agree with you and Bob on the other points however, there does seem to be a lot of confusion about which elements are available with a standard Adobe ID and which require a subscription.
While we don't have a requests forum, we do have the [email protected] alias, which users can email to make us aware of issues, requests and obviously feedback.
Regards,
Alex

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Single Edition For Other Countries

Hi, What would be the best way to buy the Single Edition to other countries ?
My client sits in a country where DPS is still not available ! Can I buy the subscription on his behalf ? Are there any consequences ?
Is their any restriction on buying the Single Edition from the US store from another country ? For example, can my client make the purchase directly from the US store or does he need a US Credit Card / Address, etc ?
Can someone please clarify

Using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition

Hello to everyone,
I'm intrested of using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite in my work and i have a few questions.
First of all, I want to make some newsstand application for apple and then for android. I got about 5-6 different magazines that each one maybe can publish 5-12 issues annualy.
In which license can i use the software for as many as magazines i want (that means e.g. 10 apps, each one for each magazine)?
What is the cost for that?
I appreciate your time,
Thanks in advance,
Nick

You can either purchase DPS professional or enterprise edition. In both edition you can create ios including newssatand and android apps.
Professional Edition is available as an annual agreement or a month-to-month subscription.
Professional Monthly subscription purchased through the Adobe store will cost US$495.
Professional Edition Annual subscription purchased through Digital Publishing Suite Channel Reseller Partner and the Adobe store will cost you US$5,940
Enterprise Edition is available through a custom quote based on platform, service, and support fees.
Below are the links you can compare features in editions:

How much does the Digital Publishing Suite cost?

Digital Publishing Suite is available in both a Professional Edition and an Enterprise Edition. Pricing for the Professional Edition is based on a monthly Platform fee--which lets publishers access the Digital Publishing Suite and create apps for all of their titles and publications--as well as a small Service Fee for each publication downloaded by a reader. The Enterprise Edition is a custom, multiyear platform agreement that includes access to APIs for integrating back-end publishing services such as subscription management, print fulfillment, and e-commerce. For more info, see: http://www.adobe.com/products/digitalpublishingsuite/pricing/.

I don't know anything about Newsstand but I doubt that any Adobe software is required. Apple would probably prefer that you use iBooks Author. Usually these things are free (more or less) to publish and it is up to you to negotiate fees from readers. Read more here: https://developer.apple.com/newsstand/

ANN: MEI Portico Version 2.0 for Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Now Available

Jenkintown, PA (November 28, 2012) — Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) today announced MEI Portico™ version 2.0, the latest in the premier Adobe® development partner's lineup of solutions for publishers. The new version of MEI's custom storefront software for tablets was built to empower Adobe Digital Publishing Suite™ customers and is now available for purchase.
MEI Portico lets publishers create custom branded UIs for their mobile and tablet apps on Apple, Google Android, and Amazon Kindle Fire platforms. Custom storefronts enable multiple gateways for showcasing user-targeted tablet content within the app. App administrators can enable search capabilities and organize their DPS folios as they see fit, so that navigation is easy and readers can effortlessly find the issues they want or are entitled to. Portico allows publishers to override in-app purchases for authenticated subscribers, and enables restricted distribution capabilities for corporate and educational institutions using Adobe DPS as part of their digital communications strategy.
MEI Portico 2.0 introduces custom canvases to the original Portico toolbox. Rather than having to rely on templates for their storefronts landing view, designers can now create their own HTML designs to incorporate into an MEI Portico-driven interface. Using web design skills, designers have full control over every aspect of their apps look and feel — from storefront layout to images, login pages to RSS or social media feeds, subscriber views to featured folios. And because administrators can launch canvases at a moments notice, implementing new features into your app can be completed without a time consuming app update.
"Custom canvases mean that DPS apps can take advantage of Porticos robust feature set without compromising their brands look and feel," said Brett Kizner, MEI's director of new product marketing. "Portico 2.0 has delivered greater flexibility with the ability for our customers to design their own app experience on their app landing page."

Digital Publishing Suite Help | Sell digital content

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/sell-digital-content.html

Apps are great but nothing about stock illustration companies for selling digital content. Are they still good?

Digital Publishing Suite - Professional, is the price correct even though CC member?

We already have an Adobe Creative Cloud account.
We have Digital Publishing Suite - Single Edition already but have now realised it is only possible to create ipad apps on there and not iphone apps.
As a company and as we already pay for an annual Creative Cloud membership, we want to know if the price of £400 odd per month would be correct if we were to look into purchasing the Professional Edition, as this pricing seems excessive considering.
Thanks

Hi I saw your question and reply and what frustrates me is that none of the replies outline the actual cost of producing something via the dps. I will give you and example.
I have a client that has been using Acrobat since 1992 to disribute documents. The same client has always been an Adobe advocate and now they wish to move from pdf files to an "App" I use the word app in quotes because it is essentially a magazine. They do not sell through the mag so no opportunity for in app purchases, they do not sell the mag as it is an information tol, they do however have video content that they wish to share. They have exciting articles that can be interspersed with slide shows etc...
However, imagine their surprise when like yourself, having paid for the design kit that to produce a magazine like this would cost the client a licence fee of $20,000 for upto 50,000 downloads if they are the publisher – and a whopping saving to me if I publish at a reduced cost of $10,000. Then there are my costs as a creative on top which some of my clients already find hard to swallow.
Now I might be wrong but taking the attitude that "Is that the right format for the client" is pretty crappy given that everyone from the age of 5 years old up knows how to and are using ipads and android devices.
Where is the middle ground?
pdf to send costs pittence but time.
html emailer a few cents per opened email
Adobe DPS "$kerching"
The sales chap then told me that if the client wanted a Mercedes but was unwilling to pay – tough really.
Now I have used Adobe software through Aldus Pagemaker in 1989 all the way through to the first version of InDesign. I encouraged the uptake of InDesign at several studios as a creative director ousting Quark because of their unreasonable prices. Now Adobe are doing just what Quark did. Why?
Given that we have all been led a merry dance and have been told that rich content and electronic formats are key to modern businesses I feel that Adobe have just given me a huge middle finger. Its like the rise of the internet all over. The promise of WYSIWYG which never materialised making it very hard for small businesses to ever get online unless it looked like something produced by a Microsoft Office techy.
And what about my charity clients? They would love to have their documents published onto the ipad "other tablets available" so are we just to ignore their cries for halp as they lanquish behind because the costs just dont add up?
Oh and once you have paid for the licence that only is for one client. So if you have 30 or so clients they would all have to foot the extra cost which by the way is an annual cost!!
Ok I am going on a bit now but you get the picture.
What the hell is going on? I am just dissapointed.

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Workflow

We are looking into the professional edition of the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite for a magazine and have a few questions about the workflow:
Is this the correct workflow:
Create document in indesign for magasine issue
Turn an indesign document into a .folio file? (Would a .folio file be considered an "issue")
Create an app somehow (where is this part done)
Submit the viewer app to apple, submit to amazon..etc
Is there a site somewhere that shows visual of the entire process?

Here are some resources:
DPS product page
Workflow overview
Getting started
The "getting started" link points to some good overview videos. If you have an iPad or other mobile device, you may want to download the free "DPS Tips" app to get an overview and experiment with some of the features.

Which Digital Publishing suite do I need to buy?

Okay simple question I hope. My wife is starting her book publishing biz and will be doing Digial (eBooks) and Print publishing of books. She wants to publish books on multiple platforms including Kindle, iBooks, and Nook which includes Android and iOS devices. She will not be creating book covers herself. Which Digital Publishing Suite should she buy, entire CS or just the Digital Publishing Suite Pro or Single edition? Should do a cloud suscription vs the other method you can buy these Abobe products? She's student so she can get students discount as well.

None of them. DPS is for highly interactive publications. She should be learning all about epub, for what you describe.
That said, as a student she can take advantage of highly discounted rates for Creative Cloud. The first year is only $19.99/month.

New restrictions imposed to users of the Digital Publishing Suite (professional edition)

We are a communication agency and we have just be informed by Adobe about the new "rules" imposed to users of the Digital Publishing Suite (professional edition). We are outraged by these practices: Adobe abuses of its leadership position on the market and hold us hostage.
We currently produce institutional magazines for one of our big clients. These magazines are produced in several languages and contain several thematic folios: therefore we manage several individual apps (multi and simple folios). We are planning to add more content and to develop new apps.
The new restrictions imposed to us by Adobe call into question our digital activity. If we follow the new rules, we now will have to buy 6 or more licenses instead of only 1 before. Given the fact that our corporate publications are not sold like commercial magazines, the rise in production cost is unacceptable. We can't forward the significantly higher fees to our client either who will quit the project for sure.
We have chosen the Adobe platform after a careful analysis of its functionalities and its production costs. We trusted Adobe and the DPS platform but the new rules invalidate our choices and overthrow the projects already developed with our client (needing continuous updates), the investments we have made so far in training and development and finally the profitability of the agency itself.
We therefore ask Adobe to come back on its decision and to apply responsible commercial practices with regard to agencies. We also ask Adobe to make sure that agencies that built their digital activities around Adobe tools can plan these activities correctly in the long run and obtain decent returns on their investments. We thus invite Adobe to reestablish the trust it is currently destroying.

This topic is being discussed in detail here.

Digital Publishing Suite Developer Center launched...

For interested parties Adobe just launched the Digital Publishing Suite Developer center located here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite.html. There's lots of great information on this site for DPS users including TIps, tricks, lists of new features, bug fixes, sample code, tutorials and white papers. Take a peek and learn something new about DPS.

Nice.
But will they be keeping up with the fairly rapid process/workflow changes that Adobe implements? There's already a slew of videos out there - at Adobe TV and a slew of other places - in which info is woefully out of date.
