Adobe DPS Status Page

We just launched a new site, http://status.adobedps.com/, that provides up-to-date status of the Adobe DPS servers. If you've ever wondered "is something down?" now you can check. Note that this is currently manually updated by our engineering team so there may be a slight lag between an actual event and the page updating.
Enjoy, and may the page always show all green
Neil

This is great. We will see over time if this info will be correspond with our experiences, but anyway, thanks for better support!

Adobe DPS Pro Monthly

In a recent post, it was suggested that the Adobe DPS Pro Edition would allow for monthly billing on the Adobe site this week. In fact, the Adobe DPS Pro page does, if you wait for a little bit, show a "Buy" button under Professional Edition Monthly. However, clicking it takes you to a reseller page for Southeast Asia, which I assume is not the intended behavior. I called Adobe support and they experienced the same behavior on the page. Can anyone shed some light on the current status of when we might see the ability to order direct for the monthly option? Thanks.

1/2/3/4: The app will remain in the store as long as you leave it there, but you must maintain an active DPS Pro subscription for the downloads to work. If you end your subscription immediately after uploading the one folio your readers will not be able to download the folio inside the app.
5. Yes, you can choose whether it is in newsstand or just a regular app.

Adobe DPS Reading SDK: how to get currently displaying page orientation?

Hi All,
I've been trying to extract page/article information using the Adobe DPS Reading SDK.
There is a tutorial (New APIs and features in r30, including folio navigation, article metadata and calendar events | Adobe Developer Connect…) which i've heavily reused but there is on last thing in the puzzle that I need to extract.
I need to extract the page layout / orientation when displayed on a device.
adobeDPS.folioDataService only extract article metadata and those methods do not contain any reference to orientation or layout.
Interesting enough, i was able to locate a "ApplicationState" object which is produced from the ConfigurationService.( Adobe DPS - Reading SDK 2.30 : adobeDPS-ConfigurationService : JsDoc Reference )
I haven't try this the "orientation" field description is not exactly what i want: "The orientations this view supports."
I need the: orientation which i'm currently displaying this page.
Any thoughts? Should i be using a different SDK?
Your help is very appreciated.
Regards

You can use the javascript native attribute "window.orientation".
Something like this should work:
    function currentOrientation(){
          switch(Math.abs(window.orientation)){
               case 90:
                     alert('landscape');
                     break;
               default:
                    alert('portrait');
                    break;
window.addEventListener('orientationchange' , function(){ currentOrientation() });
//Call it first if needed
currentOrientation();

Parallax Scroll with Muse Disables Page Swiping in Adobe DPS

Hi,
I haven't come across a satisfactory answer to this question in the Adobe DPS forum so I'm asking here in case anyone has more insight.
When using a Muse composition in Adobe DPS that features parallax scrolling, viewing the page as an HTML article leaves the swipe navigation between DPS page disabled. It has something to do with event handlers in the Muse script overriding the DPS left and right swipe functionality. Has anyone come across a solution for this problem?
Thanks.

I think this is a bug in the new update. I have made numerous sites since and all of them have gotten the horiztonal scroll. I mentioned it in the bug section and had a staff member help me with my first issue but have not heard anything else since.
This is a pretty serious bug, you can not launch a website with a horizontal scroll like this.
on another note, I really like the look of your site, very slick so far!

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.

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 - using video

I am trying to set up an FAQ page with a list of questions on the left which activate videos that appear in the same frame area on the right. I’ve uploaded the video as an object state, and used the button to activate and play the relevant video/state. It works ok in the SWF preview, but crashes InDesign everytime I attempt to upload it as an article. can anyone help me?

Having spent quite a bit of time scratching my head and googling i ended up finding the answer to this myself - so i thought i best post it to help others out.
What i could not comprehend was why a functioning backbone example on the ipad could not be directly copied across to work on the android device - what transpired was that the backbone example was using an older version of the AdobeLibraryAPI - taken from Derek Lu articles (from a few years ago) whilst the Angular version was using the most up to date version of the AdobeLibraryAPI. I found this mentioned and explained on another forum post:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1622729
so i went to Adobe DPS - Library and Store SDK 2.32 : Class Index : JsDoc Reference and got the latest version of the API, swopped it out and hey presto the backbone version now works on the android.

Why won't my adobe edge animations play from the start each time they are loaded on an Adobe DPS layout?

Hi there
I have an adobe DPS document with several pages, and edge animations on each page. I want each animation to play from the start when each page is opened, however, the playback seems to be very inconsistent. Some animations play from the start, others half way through, and some playback incorrectly. I want to also be able to return to each page and have the animations reload, instead of just displaying the final frame of the animation.
I have played around with the delay time which doesnt seem to fix it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Dan

Hi, Im DPS projects medias like video, audio, animation html5 dosen´t reload inside the same article, just between the articles. Better produce articles just one page and change pages with horizontal swipe Regards

Publish two publications from different customers with the same Adobe DPS ID

Hello:
I have a publication made on InDesign and I have uploaded it to the Adobe Server with my Adobe DPS account. For the first publication, I published the publication with the Folio Producer on the digitalpublishing portal, and then I created the app using the Adobe Viewer Builder. Then, I tried it locally on my iPad. It was working fine and I could see my publication.
Now, I do need to upload a new publication for a different customer with the same Adobe DPS account and I need to create a different app with the new customer look and feel but I don't want to show the first publication in this new app, only the last one.
In a nushell, I need to keep separated two publications (or more) when they are published if I'm using the same DPS Account... Is that possible?
Saludos Cordiales,

Hi Leo,
Every title should have its own publication AdobeID (a title can contain multiple editions / folios).
So you have to request for every title you want to work on a provisioned account with Adobe. Make sure that you have setup the corresponding emailaddress / emailalias. For example [email protected] and [email protected]
After the accounts have been provisioned you can:
* upload and organize multiple folios for that publication in the corresponding Folio Producer
* Create a viewer with your Viewer Builder and on the first page supply the AdobeID for the give publication
You can request new publication accounts any time and these are included with your DPS subscription.
When you first account got provisioned, you should have received an excel document to request provisioning for the various publications. In this document you can list the accounts you want to use for publications, individual users of the system and viewer builder access.
With kind regards,

TransactionCannotConnectToServerError - Adobe DPS - Library and Store SDK 2.30

Hi
Adobe DPS - Library and Store SDK 2.30
What does the adobeDPS-TransactionErrorType.TransactionCannotConnectToServerError mean?
I wanted to run a login request throught the authentication service. Our entitlement server sends back the authentication token with a status code 200 but the authentication is incorrect because if this transaction error.
adobeDPS-TransactionErrorType.TransactionCannotConnectToServerError
Value: -110
Indicates the Library could not connect to the particular server needed to complete a transaction.
Thanks,
Peter

This line in Colin's video is incorrect:
"Access to Store/Library API creates new possibilities in an article"
The information in the articles is correct. Specifically, if you launch the Information Screen from within an HTML article or a Web Content overlay, you reference the Reading APIs. If you launch the Information Screen from within an entitlement banner, a custom library, or a custom slot, you reference the Library/Store APIs.

How do i print from an app created with adobe dps from my ipad

I know Apple's own iOS apps can print from iPads and iPhones using AirPrint.
How do I enable support for printing from an Adobe DPS app on an iPad or iPhone

Neil,
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I was able to do this in the past, but it no longer works (probably because something changed in an update). We needed a folio in our app to be able to download and print a PDF. I set up a web page with a poster image placeholder that, when tapped (or clicked in a web browser) would download the PDF, display it, and from there you could print it. Tested successfully in both a live mulit-folio app and Adobe Content Viewer. It's been a while (almost a year) since we tested this, and I returned to it because a customer is asking for that, and found that it no longer works. I can't remember the last step (the "print it" step) and how it was invoked, but I think it was via the iOS share icon (the square with the arrow poking out the top) that no longer presents in the app. Am I going crazy, or is this something that was consciously shelved by Adobe? We really need this to work!
Thanks,
Steve

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.

Adobe DPS apps and cryptography/encryption

Hello,
We just used the Adobe DPS Single Edition to create an awesome animated storybook for kids (by placing m4v video overlays on every page). So, we are now ready to upload our app to the App Store.
As part of the submission process, we are being asked the following:
"Is your product designed to use cryptography or does it contain or incorporate cryptography?"
What does this mean?? Does this apply to apps created with DPS Single Edition? How would a DPS user even know the answer to this?

Select No. The custom viewer doesn't include cryptology.
