Adobe DPS vs. PDF Publishing

I noticed something the other day when comparion an old edition of my magazine against a DPS edition of my magazine. The quality of the DPS maazine was much higher than the other guy who just ingested a PDF that I sent him. Since this was an iPad and the FOLIO was in PDF format - I don't understand why this is. Can anyone help me on this? There are a lot of back issues that I have that would take way too long to convert to the way that DPS does digital publishing - but I'm fine with that. I just want to know why the quality of a magazine on a .FOLIO looks so much better than it does on a PDF.

I'll bet anything that the pdf wasn't optimized for viewing on the ipad, when making the pdf you can change resolution, transparency and color settings, these will all effect the display on the ipad. I'm sure adobe has tweaked the "PDF" settings in a folio to give the best possible quality.

Using Adobe Presenter 7 when published to PDF video files do not play just a blank page, any ideas?

Using Adobe Presenter 7 when published to PDF video files do not just a blank page, any ideas? I am using office 2010 and Adobe Acrobat 9 on my PC any suggestions would be very helpful as the audio and slides work fine though no SWF files work just a blank white screen
Thanks

The problem seems to be with Acrobat 9. Can you share any such pdf generated from presenter at [email protected]
Alternatively, you can try to download Adobe Reader 10 http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=JZEFU and try to view the published output usingthe same.

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,

DPS FOLIO PDF RESOLUTION

Hello,
I have followed all of the instructions from the Adobe DPS manual and created pdf files (2048x1536, 144ppi) for my iPad 3 folio.
Yet when I upload the folio to the Adobe Viewer, all of the images look crappy, they are jagged and you can see pixels.
On the other hand when, I publish the same folio on the iPad 2 everything looks smooth.
Can you help me with defining the good compression process for the images? (I am exporting them from photoshop, saving to pdf and then linking to indesign...which should work normally).
Best
Mikolaj

InDesign files no matter what size the folio, should only be 1024x768
and for PDF that's even more important. My guess is that is one
humungous folio as far as file size goes.
2048x1536 folios should be created as PNG or JPG, as renditions. PDF
folios are pretty much designed to work at all resolutions by using a
108ppi for rastering images which is half way between the 72 ppi for
iPad 1 and 2 and the 144 for the retina iPads.

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.

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.

Can you create an app using Adobe DPS, then pass the Folio to a programmer to add interactivity?

I'd like to know if I can create an app using Adobe DPS, then pass the folio to a programmer to add advanced interactivity that DPS doesn't provide. I would like the programmer to use either XCode or Android SDK because it is a standard, but they can also use C#, JavaScript, and several other coding languages. The folio would serve the purpose of a tight digital comp for the programmer.

Thanks for your help Bob! I found this article on the Adobe site. Figured I'd share it. http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/import-html-articles.html

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
