Android DPS app not linking to PDF

Hi - we have a working app in iOS that we are now converting for Android. We link to two PDFs using HTMLResources. Works fine in iOS, not on Android. Is this a known bug / issue or is there a workaround anyone knows about? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There are definitely some known behavioral differences between Android and iOS in these situations. Can you describe the behavior you're seeing so that I might provide some guidance?
Thanks,
Dave

Open a Android DPS app from a Safari link

Hello:
Is it possible to open an Android DPS app from a Safari webpage using a hyperlink (href) ? In iOS I've found a solution but I'm not sure how to implement it on Android
Saludos,

If it can be done with native code (iOS and android) then you could also write a native extension to launch an app. However, because mobile apps are installed in individual sandboxes apps probably have no way of telling the parent OS to list current apps or run a paticular app. This is just my opionion from what I have understood so far. I think you can create some sort of native extension and use the following methods below.
Have a look here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
As for iOS you would need to use App urls which would be application specific.

Download issues with Android DPS App

Hi All,
Just wondering if any of you are trying to download a folio from the android dps app and cannot change navigation pages. The folio is downloading but it looks like it freezes until the folio is completed downloading.
In iOS, you can download a folio and click on other navigation page.
Is this a fix for adobe or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

You must be using the legacy Android app which does not support progressive download. You should try using our new native Android application, which does.
Here's Bob's help topic on building native Android apps: https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/building-android-apps.html
Here's a list of what's supported in the different apps. Note that not all overlays are supported yet in the native Android viewer (audio is still being developed): Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS supported feature list

Videos in DPS app not playing with iOS 8 upgrade

Hello,
We've made a DPS App with 14 videos in it and put it on the maximum number of test devices. When all of the devices were running iOS 7 everything was working fine, but devices that have been updated to iOS 8 won't play the video content (on both iPad minis and full size iPads). Please does anyone have any help or advice on what to do to remedy this. We've tried rebuild the App but its made no difference.
many thanks,
Chrissy

The strange thing is: the correct name is still available in the headline of the pdf file when opened. its only wrong in the overview...

KDL 55W800C Android TV apps not getting 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound

Just bought KDL-55W800C Android TV few days ago. Everything is great except the DD 5.1 surround. I am using optical audio out to a STR-KS360 receiver. I get 5.1 with Telus Cisco CIS430 PVR connected to TV no problem. But when I tried Netflix, Play Movies and USB test MP4 on the TV. They are coming through as 2.0 only. BD connected to TV also only come through as 2.0 only while BD connected to receiver gives 5.1. Is this a known problem? There seem to be similar threads on other models. E.g. https://community.sony.com/t5/4K-Ultra-HD-TV/XBR-75X850C-Netflix-Amazon-dolby-digital-5-1-channel-support/m-p/509054/highlight/true#M4168

That sounds more logical, however, Apple and Netflix are pointing at each other.
The player needs to be compatible with Dolby Digital Plus, so that would ultimately put the responsibility on Apple. However, DDP for streaming 5.1 surround sound from the Internet is relatively new, so it doesn't surprise me that the ATV doesn't currently support it, but I would expect Apple to release a software update for it at some point.

Note link in pdf

Hi Anybody know how to automate notelink/ endnotes in pdf

This doesn't seem to be about PDF specifications. Are you using
Acrobat? If so, try the Acrobat Windows or Macintosh forum; or if you
are using the Acrobat SDK try the Acrobat SDK forum. You will need to
explain in more detail what you want to do.

Can't open lotus notes links with acrobat reader XI

We had acrobat reader 9 a few month ago. We did an upgrade to XI. Since the upgrade, we can't open lotus notes link in PDF. I receve a message : Could not open the file 'Notes://<server>/85256E990056A5F7/428FA5DA3ED9D82485256E6D005FA7AB/ED916EF56E1CC50B85257 545005AB67B'. (<server> is the name of my server)
The path is working. I can paste it in run and it's working. If I downgrade to reader 9, the link work with the same PDF.
I did some trace with procmon and I can see acrobat trying to open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Notes:\<server>\85256E990056A5F7\428FA5DA3ED9D82485256E6D005FA7AB\ED9 16EF56E1CC50B85257545005AB67B
I can't find anything about this issue...
anybody has an idea?

Having the same issue, Any hint ? Is Adobe aware of this problem ?

Typekit font not displaying in iPad DPS app (created by Indesign) in Web Content (Edge Animate)

I think I have tried every permutation to make this work, but I am probably missing something.
I am creating a single DPS iPad app with InDesign, and I am using a Typekit font throughout. So far so good.
I have created an Edge Animate project using the same Typekit font. In preview mode, it is fine as well.
However, when I place the Edge Animate project into a frame in InDesign and use the Web Content Folio Overlay (regardless of whether I use the .oam file or link directly .html output published by Animate), the Typekit font will not show up in the Edge Animate portion of the DPS app and will instead use a fallback font.
Can anyone suggest a way to make Typekit fonts in Edge Animate work when embedded in a DPS app? (For what it's worth, I have the same problem when embedding html output from Tumult Hype, so it seems unlikely that this is an issue with Edge Animate at all and probably has more to do with something in the way the DPS app is dealing with embedded html content.)
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Believe me, I understand the pain. Unfortunately there's only so much we can do at Adobe as the EULAs provided by the foundries for their respective fonts are very explicit in where you can and can not use them.
For example, packaging an InDeisgn file and sending it off for pre-press with the fonts included in the package is in direct violation of most font EULAs. In a studio environment, you're only allowed to have a font installed on n number of computers and need to have multiple licenses to accomidate >n number of seats. When creating a PDF, fonts explicitly have to be subsetted before embedding into the PDF.
That's just to paint a picture of the fragile state of using fonts in print, usage in digital mediums is just another bee in your bonnet when it comes to considering when you can and cannot use a font.
Services like Typekit Desktop are trying to make this easier by removing a lot of those pain and condierations for you, by blanketing all these fonts under a single license you're free to use for print and the web. There's still some gotchyas, but we're aiming to greatly reduce how much you have to think about it where we can.
So yes there's a bit of education when it comes to mixing embedded HTML content/fonts with DPS, but at least there's options

How do I open a link in an app not in Safari?

I would like to open a link in a stand alone app, like Pinterest, in the Pinterest app, not by opening Pinterest in Safari on my iPhone and iPad. How do I do that?

Michael,
Your form is a special type of form called a "static XFA form" (typically authored with Adobe LiveCycle Designer).
The "links" in the static XFA form are actually buttons (form fields) that act like hyperlinks.
Unfortunately, Adobe Reader mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support static (or dynamic) XFA forms. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The static XFA buttons for web links did not work with any of the non-Adobe PDF viewers that I tried on my iPad, either. So the users who receive the static XFA form will experience the same problem on mobile devices.

Link in pdf-file does not work on Ipad

With my site www.bartkuijer.nl I offer visitors the free possibility to see (and download) sheetmusic, from music written by me. These are pdf-files. But they can not only SEE the sheetmusic; the music on that pdf-files can also be PLAYED. That's done bij clicking on a link in that pdf-file to a mp3-file of the music on my site.
This works fine on a pc. When I try this on the Ipad of my wife it DOES NOT WORK!
So my question is: how come? And what to do to make this work also fine on an Ipad.
This is important for me, because I want this sheetmusic to place as Ipad-apps for free.

It works!
But not with a pdf-file. The Ipad does not recognize links in a pdf-file.
Te solution is found by making a htm-file with emdedding a quicktime-player and images of the music. This is my first Ipad product. On a pc the player starts immediately; on the Ipad it has to be started.
Now I have to work on a solution to change this to an app

InDesign pdf not linking to web pdf

I've tried everything--so frustrated. I create a hyperlink to a PDF on a website, but when I export the InDesign file to PDF, the links to the external PDFs do not work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Open the PDF in Acrobat (full app not Reader). Click Start Form Wizard from the menu bar. Navigate to the link you want to connect to the web site and add a button. Like here

Generated PDF file...TOC Items Not Linked

Been racking my brain all day trying to figure out how the heck I created a PDF document TOC with hot links to the document pages from FM 9...and now all of a sudden when I save as a PDF from FM 9 my PDF document TOC is not linked to the document. Help in FM 9 is not very helpful. I'm using FM 9, Structured. Help please.
Thank you,
Eric G.

Hi Art, thank you for responding so fast. My TOC is being generated by an external source (ATA iSpec2200 app), so I don't have a "TOC" FM file to view properties on. At one time I was saving docs to PDF and having the TOC links active. Do you think the problem lies in my external TOC generator?

I have a problem, i can't generate with DPS App Builder "App distribuzione.zip" to be sent to Apple to publish APP, this is the error message: is not a valid distribution certificate Apple. What do I do?

As Bern510 says, you'll need to recreate certificates that are valid. I suggest following our step-by-step publishing guide, which walks through how to obtain certificates correctly.
