Adobe DPS Blurry Text

I am designing a magazine spread in InDesign for DPS.
When the document is taller than 2000px, the text rasterizes and becomes blurry. If I divide the document into canvases that are 768 x 1024, then the text stays clear. However, the Folio Producer will only allow snap to pages (selecting smooth-scrolling results in an error). I'd like sharp text on a long spread with smooth scrolling, but I can't seem to make it work.
Has any one else encountered this and discovered a solution?

Smooth Scrolling works only if the layout has a single page.

I have an issue in Adobe Reader, blurry text with a section of a PDF. Same file works fine on a colleagues PC. Even tried Pro?

I posted this question on Twitter last week, was asked to check the settings for rendering and this didn't make a difference. I then installed Adobe Acrobat Pro to see if this made a difference but no luck. Finally I was asked to print in B&W but again no luck. One of my colleagues is using Reader and the same file works fine for him. Please help...

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Adobe DPS - Selectable text

Hello everyone,
I was curious, is there a way for someone reading text on your App to be able to select that text?
For example: If I was reading a page of text and saw a word that I wanted to select and copy, can this be done? Im curious because I have a client who will be using product names etc... that he would like a reader to be able to select and copy to be able to search.
I know that I could just turn that text into a link so that it becomes active... but my client is looking for the text to be selectable.
is this possible?
thank you.

Smooth Scrolling works only if the layout has a single page.

Responsive Scaling Blurry Text

Hi all,
I've been having a lot of problems with the built in responsive scaling but have found work arounds for all my issue's except one, the blurry text. I presume it's common that people find text becomes a little blurry when responsive scaling is implemented (on certain browsers). Is there a work around for this to prevent it from happening? I have done a lot of searching but not found anything at all, other than a comment by adobe that it's a browser issue.
Thanks

Hi there,
Here is the practice site i've been working on:
COMPCADEMY - Computer Systems
If you look at this site using Chrome for example much of the text is not crisp at all. If you load it in Internet Explorer though it's perfect.
Thanks

Fuzzy/blurry text in Captivate 7

Hi alll,
We recently upgraded from Captivate 6 -> 7. Usually we use transparent text boxes for text, and when publishing in Captivate 7, the text gets blurry/fuzzy, regardless of color, size, font etc. We had the same problem in an earlier version of Captivate (I think maybe it was Captivate 3), and the workaround then was to highlight at least one charachter within each text box, but this does not work in Captivate 7.
Funny thing is that if I just drag the generated .htm file into my browser window, the text is crisp and clear, but when I run the same module from our LMS, it all gets blurry and fuzzy.
Any help to avoid this would be very appreciated.

Captivate text displaying blurry has been an issue since day one. I've had to deal with it and spend dozens of hours of R&D to try to figure it out... and as you see I'm still searching for an answer. It seems soooo simple but it must be extremely complex because Adobe just can't figure it out! It was the same thing in Flash. We are a global org producing e-learning for fortune 500 companies and at one point Captivate was our most used tool. Due to this issue and a bunch of others, our shop is now doing 75% of our projects in Storyline, 20% in Lectora, and we have ZERO clients asking for Captivate for the last 2 years. When a client spends tens of thousands of dollars on a project, they don't want to have to look at blurry, jagged text. I wish it wasn't this way because I am a highly experienced Cp developer now having to learn Storyline. But Adobe has either ignored this issue or just cannot fix it. In the image below, you can see the differences in the way Captivate displays text and the horrifying difference between Cp and Flash that I just don't get. That one causes a huge issue when we drop Flash stuff in a Cp slide and are required to stay consistent with font type and size.
Keep in mind, the problem everyone is frustrated about is mainly text that uses Transparent style caption. It appears better when in a styled caption bubble. The blurry text issue can be somewhat fixed by applying a white highlight on all the text. Although, it is still not what we are looking for. And, this extra step in development is painful, costly, and there is always a few that we miss and then we get complaints, etc.
Man, that first one is just nasty!
One last thing I discovered that works, but not all of the time, is that if you create a dummy variable with no value, then put your text in a transparent text caption, add a few spaces at the end and then insert that variable, you will see crisp, clean text as if it was html. Again, too much work and not a consistent solution!!
Hope that helps for those who are new to captivate, and for those like me, who have lost too many hours of precious life and money on this.
See ya, have to continue my Storyline training now...

Adobe DPS Roadmap RE iPhone Support

I do not really wish to ask a "by when" question, as I know it was frowned upon in the pre-release forums:)
However I am constantly asked this by our clients, and it has a bearing on how we approach business opportunities to create iPhone apps for people who are asking.
I woud love to be able to be able to field these questions with even the roughest idea about the following:
Is iPhone (or smartphone support in general) still firmly on the roadmap for Adobe DPS? If yes, is it high, medium or such low priority that it is still a year or so away from now?
What should I tell my clients who are interested in putting their content solutions on the Adobe DPS platform, but are wanting to know how long the wait for iPhone support might be?
Bob Bringhurst recently mentioned iPhone support om a post about scaling: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3889660#3889660 "I'm not sure if or how this will change when the iPhone is supported."
So I am hopeful this may be on the horizon, but would appreciate if the roadmap could be shared with DPS customers in a bit more detail, if not on this forum then perhaps through other channels?
Regards, Juergen

Hi Steve:
Thanks for your thoughts, I agree about the iPhone not being an ideal canvas. And no, we wouldn't create isolated iPhone apps using Adobe DPS, rather iPhone versions of existing iPad content:
For every app we have done clients have requested (and wanted to pay for) an iPhone version of the content. (we don't do typical periodical magazines, but occasional custom content single issue iPad apps, imagine how I feel about having signed up for pro license now that single issues will cost US$395)
Since we use inCopy in collaboration with clients, they seem most interested in making the text content from their iPad apps available on iPhone page templates, plus some resized pics. Nothing amazing from a UX perspective, but I could see re-flowing stories onto the iPhone with Indesign flexible layouts and inline scaled images.
IiPhone support had been requested by a lot of people at one point in the pre-release last year, not much interest now it seems...
So for now we use SenchaTouch or Appcelerator to convert the text to HTML5 to iPhone, but that's not as easy as having an Adobe DPS iPhone viewer and keeping it in the designers domain instead of having to code javascript etc.

Sending Push Notifications with Adobe DPS

Question.
I'm testing out all the Adobe DPS and Apple options. And one of the things I would like to test is Push Notifications.
I followed the iPad publishing guide to be able to get all the certificates so that's ok. Then I was looking for a way to send
push notifications. Because Adobe DPS doesn't really have a UI environment (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong ;-) to send push
notifications I have to do it 'by hand'. When I tested my app on my iPad I got the "app name wants to send you push notifications",
so i'm sure my certificates are working. Now I just need to send a push message.
So I followed this great tutorial:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/3443/apple-push-notification-services-tutorial-part-12
I was able to do everything and was able to send a push notification ... but I never received it. And the reason for this is because
I don't have the app device token, which is a 64 character serial number which acts as your app address. So I don't have any way of sending the notification
to my particular app. (which is a test sideload multifolio app).
Because the Adobe DPS is cloud based you don't get any code (which I love). But I think that is currently stopping me
from finding out my device token.
What I'm asking:
- Does this mean I can't send any push notifications to Adobe DPS created apps?
- If this is supported somehow, I suppose (again, correct me) I need the app device token for the created app. Where do I get this?
Thanks !

At this time, it's not possible to manually push notifications. When you enable push, only publishing a new folio displays the red badge. At some point, when third-party push is supported, manual pushes will be possible.

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.

On Adobe DPS and tracking.

Hello,
I am a completely new member to this community. Thank you in advance for all that may take a look at the following questions.
I am writing from the agency side of advertising. One of our clients use Adobe DPS, and our agency will soon be promoting the client's app to drive monthly subscriptions.
First question :
Once a mobile user is driven to download the app i.e. post-click through, is it possible to tie subscriptions back to the ad source through 3rd-party tracking implementation? I'm assuming the answer is no, but I would like to just double-check for reassurance.
Second question :
Once a user has accessed this digital-content through the app, is it possible for the client to get any visibility into the engagments that happen within the app?
I think it may be answered here : http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/ <--
but I am getting different answers about this issue from different sources.
The second part to that question : if those engagement metrics are available to the client using Adobe DPS, can those measurements customized? i.e. - would I be able to track how many page views each unique user has logged? I did take a look at the MPA metrics standard but those only seem to be sending back session duration, count of sessions, etc.
Thank you again.
mike

Hi Mike,
Here are the responses to your questions:
1) First question: The answer is as you suspected, "No".
2) Second question:Once the user has downloaded/installed the app then you can access to baseline analytics reports for basic reporting. You can also get access to Sitecatalyst that provides more deeper tracking. If you are entitling the users directly via direct entitltment; then yes you can track more detailed behavior on each user.

How can I replace an existing app on iTunes that was created with PhoneGap to a new version created with Adobe DPS? I get a 'supported devices' error message when I try to upload to iTunes! HELP!

I created an app using PhoneGap a couple of months ago, and have now just amended it using Adobe DPS. But when I come to upload it to iTunes, I get the error message "This bundle does not support on or more of the device supported by the previous app version" How can I correct this?

I suspect your PhoneGap app was flagged as running on both iPad and iPhone. You'll need the same from DPS. You can do this in AppBuilder at the start of the wizard where it asks what kind of devices you want to support. Note that this is only available to DPS Professional and Enterprise customers. If you are a Creative Cloud customer building a Single Edition application it will only support iPad.

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' - even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

Adobe DPS HTML/Javascript/CSS Web Console: why it is so difficult?

Why?
This is the type of question that i can not understand. Is it that difficult to make? Maybe an airpor to Google Chrome Adobe Edge Inspect? I have many files well written with CoffeeScript, that uses RequireJS, that is impossibile to forget a semicolon etc. that works like a charm on Google Chrome (desktop, AND Chrome iPad, AND Chrome Android). That works like a charm in the native iPad/iPhone web browser and in the native Android browser. But it didnt in Adobe DPS. And guess what: i cant find why it doesnt, because Adobe doesnt have a simple Web Console inside DPS / InDesign.
Is there any news on this field? Because using Adobe Edge Inspect is not a option: my code works inside EI because im browsing the page with my desktop browser. I want to know what is going on inside DPS.
And my code it is not "soooo" advanced. It is just a simple button with "on touchstart" event listener. Am i doing some stupid error? Fine! Just help me find out what it is, so i can fix it. Because in every single browser i tried, it works. But inside DPS. A sample code? Sure, here you go:
[Javascript Code]
Main.prototype.clicks = function() {
        var _this = this;
        $('#btnA').on('touchstart', function(evt) {
          evt.preventDefault();
          _this.buy('productA');
          return false;
        $('#btnB').on('touchstart', function() {
          return _this.buy('productB');
        return $('#clear_data').on('touchstart', function() {
          return _this.clearData();
[/Javascript Code]
The Javascript above is being generated by Node.JS compiling a CoffeeScript file. The buttons do work at DPS for iPad, but doesnt on Android. Maybe Android has a problem with 'touchstart'. Maybe jQuery has a problem inside Adobe DPS. But who knows? I dont have a decent web console inspector to check what is going on. Really frustrating.
Maybe Apple and Google dont give the neccessary hooks to implement the web console? But if you can do the Inspector from the desktop to the device, why not from the device to the desktop? Am i missing something on Edge Inspect? The strange part is: the above code works well on Edge Inspect but doesnt work on Android DPS.
Sorry if im a little angry or pissed. But this would be really great: a simple web inspector: HTML, Javascript, CSS. A way to inspect the <head> tag of the HTML, what was loaded, in what order. What script is missing, Javascript breakpoints, etc.
Thank you.

There is this one little widget called Safari Web Inspector, provided that you're using a Mac: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safa ri_Developer_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html.
Besides, referring to http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/create-html-articles-android-viewers.ht ml, you can give window.onappear a try when you are doing JS initialization.

ADOBE DPS

Hello All
Having teething troubles in my Adobe DPS training on Lynda.Com
I am learning to use the Folio Builder and setting up the folio from the folio builder section - where I'm giving it a name and given it Horizontal / Landscape co-ordinates as a starting document.
Q: Done all that and never see the folio to work on? How do I view this as I would in a normal Indesign document mode - it's just sitting in the Folio Builder menu box and can't access it?
What am I doing wrong here please.
Best: Daryl

Hi
The penny has dropped and see the logic....it's an empty shell for a Title you will make (say this months magazine issue) and then you add the magazine documents inside the folio).
Just getting to grips with procedure and terminology.
My thanks: Daryl
