Adobe DPS web viewer functionality...

Not sure if anyone has done this - but is there a way of showing folios online... a bit like this:
For this example, the user does not have an iPad. But is provided with Sign-in credentials to view secure content from DPS.
• User visits a site with an iFrame embedded with the Web Content Viewer utilised - with the folios displayed as per an iPad library (horizontal view)
• User can view all folios online, and tap through to see all pages in each folio, and return back to the 'library'
• User can only access the folios through secure sign-in - i.e.: content is sensitive and require secure access
• All other functionality applies - object states, scrollable frames, video, audio etc.
Is this possible? I would hope it is...!
Thanks.

Without a DPS license the answer is no. With a DPS license, Professional or Enterprise, the answer is yes.
You'll need to use the Content Viewer for web only option in Folio Producer. Here's the help link Embedding web viewer content in your web page | Adobe Developer Connection. Also, you will need to use social sharing Integrating Social Sharing into DPS Apps | Adobe Developer Connection

  • Adobe DPS Web Viewer - Issues

    for some reason our free app is having issues being accessed with the web viewer. The folio was published as free, but when we try to share the article it just brings us to our website. We have published this folio the same way we have published all other folios.
      Anyone got any suggestions.
    thanks.

    What version is the app?
    Perhaps you can reply offline and let me know which publication you're referring to, what issue and what article?
    I suspect that you might have a web rendition available.  Also, is www.ourwebsite.com specified in your account settings as the hosting URL, the redirect URL or the Fulfillment level reached URL , and/or the paywall button URL

  • DPS Web Viewer

    I have a question regarding the v27 update.
    Posted from the whats new section: "In the web viewer, articles that have an article access state set to "Free" in Folio Producer can now be viewed in the desktop web viewer without counting against the paywall threshold." does this mean that as long as an article is set to free, we will not be charged for the viewing of this article?
    can someone explain this in laymans terms.
    thank you.

    This refers to the paywall threshold that the publisher sets up for their customers, not the download counts that Adobe charges publishers.
    Publishers can use the Folio Producer to set articles to Free, Metered, or Protected. In the Account Admin tool, they can set a threshold to limit the number of metered articles that each customer can view in web viewer. For example, if the threshold is set to 3, the customer can view 3 metered articles, and browsing to the fourth metered article displays a paywall message. In v26, both free and metered articles counted against the threshold. In v27, only metered articles count against it.

  • DPS Web Viewer SSL Support

    Hello,
    at this moment Adove Web Viewer does not support SSL.
    Is Adobe working to support SSL in the near future?
    Background:
    We are planning to switch the whole website to SSL. Our problem is that an embedded Web Viewer call (iframe) within a ssl encrypted site won't work.
    Thank you

    This is a known bug, we're working to fix it in the next release. Is your article (by chance) smooth scrolling but the length is not a multiple of 1024 (portrait mode) or 768 (landscape mode)?

  • Using the DPS Web Viewer "Web Viewer Only" option

    upon investigation of the folio producer page, I noticed that there is a check box option for "Web Viewer Only".  Can anyone explain how this option works? or where there is some documentation regarding how to use this option?
    thanks.

    Hi Neil,
    I have read that article.  I just am not sure if you have to "create" 2 separate folios.  1 for the "tablet device" and 1 to be accessed on the web.
    I ask because you mentioned this: "In most situations you can just ignore it and publish an iPad rendition that will automatically get used for the web"
    Thats where it gets confusing, I don't know if the ipad version will just automatically show up for the web viewer once that option is clicked. Without creating 2 folios. 1 for tablet. 1  for web viewer.
    Ryan.

  • DPS web viewer - distortion at foot of articles

    I've created 2 web viewer versions of apps and on both, some articles show distortion at the bottom (see pic below).
    This happens on some articles but no others. Can someone provide a solution please?

  • Adobe Reader X fast web view problem

    Hi,
    When I try to open a PDF with several pages from the web using Adobe Reader X, fast web view function seems not working while I could only view it after download of the whole file completed. Checked and confirmed that "Allow fast web view" selected in the Reader, as well as the PDF file being tested support such function. Here's my OS and software environment:
    - Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with SP1
    - Internet Explorer v8.0.7601.17514
    - Adobe Reader X v10.0.1
    I tried several scenario as below:
    - Disable "Display PDF in browser", no improvement
    - Uninstall Reader X and install Reader 9, test on the same PDF and fast web view working properly
    - Uninstall Reader 9 and install Reader X again, same problem happen again
    - Install Reader X on a freshly installed Windows XP with SP3, same problem appears
    Does anyone experience the same issue? Or any ideas \ solutions? Many thanks.

  • Web Viewer - getting buttons to open in a new tab or window

    I am trying to get a button to open in a new tab or window in the DPS web viewer.
    The options when creating a button are:
    Open link in folio
    Open link in device browser
    Both which do not work when we export the web viewer.
    I know it is possible as Adobe are using this function for their Inspire magazine. This does not seem to be html either that they are using. See link here - at the bottom of the page: Adobe Inspire Magazine October 2014: The Truth in a Face
    Any help with this issue would be highly appreciated.

    There is a parameter on creating the iFrame called externalLinksOpen. They can set it to 'window', as it defaults to inline, which opens it in the current window. It's documented here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/classes /FrameService.html#method_createFrame
    There is also a demo linked from our 'What's New' section under 'External Link for Embedded Viewer' at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/modules /What's%20New.html.

  • Viewing and purchasing on Desktop / Web Viewer Question.

    I understand that if you share free content via your iOS app it can be viewed in a browser (with some features missing like swiping of images .)
    My question is this....
    I have a Professional account... Can a person purchase the magazine and view the whole magazine via a Desktop computer with the DPS Web Viewer? Or its only limited to free content on your web browser but they have to have a iPad to view the whole mag?  Do they get full access on the desktop if they purchase.
    Thanks
    Ron

    For a professional customers, only the free content that was shared can be viewed on the web viewer/desktop. For enterprise customers, restricted content can be accessed via entitlement using the Content Viewer for Web SDK

  • 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 and web content viewer issues

    Having an issue with the tablet and web content viewer version of this particular article. I've create two separate documents one for iPad and one for iPhone, reuploaded the article and recreate the entire article all in the hopes that it would resolve the issue. Any ideas as to how I can remedy this problem? Thanks.

    This is a known issue with smooth scrolling articles in the web viewer: From Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes:
    "Smooth Scrolling articles in web viewer may not display properly on the last page if the length of the smooth scrolling article is not an exact multiple of the folio height. For example, the last page of a 1024x2000 article may be cropped, but a 1024x1536 (2 times the height) or a 1024x2304 (3 times the height) should display fine. The issue is especially common in portrait orientation. One workaround is to make the height of the smooth scrolling page height an exact multiple of the folio height. Another workaround is to use PNG image format for the Smooth Scrolling article instead of PDF."

  • 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.

  • Only allow employees to access article on Adobe web viewer

    I have an article that is on http://contentviewer.adobe.com.  If I set the article to Free, then
    everyone can access to the magazine.  I would like to have this article access by company employees only.
    Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
    Thanks in advance,

    I believe you can do this if you do a custom web viewer with direct entitlement to restrict access to the content. This is an DPS Enterprise feature.

  • Adobe DPS Android custom viewer using Angular

    Hi
    I have recently developed a custom viewer app for the ipad using the excellent articles and code examples that Derek Lu provided.
    This app used backbone as the MVP framework and communicated with Adobe DPS to retrieve folios and information using the provided API.
    I have now been tasked with developing a similar version for the Android device and have been able to get hold of example code for the Android device from.
    https://www.dpsapps.com/dpsapps/store_configurator/
    However this code uses Angular as the MVP framework instead of Backbone - whilst i appreciate there are going to be device specific differences between the IPad and Android which will impact on what can / cannot be done on Android, i wondered if there was any particular reason why the code example for the Android viewer uses Angular over Backbone?
    I was hoping to be able to leverage the Backbone code written for the IPad version  but when i try to put this on the Android device i seem to recall it either not allowing me (when using the webbuilder) or that nothing seemed to work / appear on the device, whilst the Angular version (freshly downloaded and unchanged - but configured to bring down my folios with the relevant guid) from the dps app store configuration link (provided above) does work.
    Additionally i seem to be unable to test the Android Angular version on my desktop in the same way i was the backbone version.
    Has anyone else encountered similar problems?
    Thanks
    Dave

    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.

  • Can users view content produced by Adobe DPS on Desktop (MAC/PC)

    I'm new to the Adobe DPS product line and was wondering if someone could clarify if the DPS product line can produce content that can be published for viewing on mobile devices (iPad, Android, playbook) as well as Desktop (MAC and PC)

    Thanks, I ‘m not looking for authenticated purchases or selling of content at all. Rather I have a client who is going to produce content for use by his staff in via ipad (i.e. for a sharing content in a face to face one on one scenario) but also wants to be able to use the same content on a PC for a secondary purpose.
    So from link you provided sounds like this could be done via sharing of the link via email which then gives the recipient access to the content to view from a standard web browser. Is this correct?
