Are there plans to let single edition users publish to the iPhone?

As the owner of a small publishing business, I was very frustrated to find out that only Professional Edition and Enterprise users can publish to the iPhone. I have a client who is ready to move forward with an iPhone version of its weekly trade publication. However, to do so with Adobe's current offerings would be WAY too cost prohibitive. My client would need about 750 downloads to serve its readership. The publication itself has hardly any graphics and consists of about 10-12 differerernt articles. So, my questions are as follows:
1. Does Adobe plan to let single edition users publish folios for the iPhone?
2. Are there any good alternatives for publishing a simple trade publication for the iPhone?
Thanks

Hi there,
I am a Professional Edition member of DPS and currently publish our magazines on the iPad only. Most of our magazines are free, and thus makes it impossible to afford the $0.30 per download fee that Adobe requires. The only way to do so is to publish everything in single edition and update/overwrite each new issue. This has worked for us, but still limits us to iPad only. The Android, Kindle Fire and iPhone are only available for using the fulfillment service, which again charges $0.30 per download. It is frustrating to me too, as I have been a loyal customer of DPS for two solid years now and they have been "promising" that these will be available in single editions soon. They have said that for two years now.
My point is that Adobe is slow to adding devices to the single edition because they don't make any money off of it. They only make money off of the fulfillment services, so there is absolutely no incentive for them to even "bother" with coming out with single edition versions of any other device. I'm surprised they even offer single edition for iPad.
Which leads me to my point -- I recommend that you find an alternative to using DPS for your iPhone single edition version. If it is simple in design, you can use something like Hype (for mac only) to build as an HTML5 web app and then package it into a native app with PhoneGap.
Here is where you can find Hype: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hype/id436931759?mt=12
Here is where you can find PhoneGap: http://phonegap.com/
I really hope this helps! Don't give up on Adobe, because they are a great company and have awesome products, but realistically they are also in the business to make money. I am sure eventually they will come out with different single editon versions of devices that are supported, but it definitely won't be anytime soon.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any help!

  • Are there plans to update livecycle designer to conform with the CC Family of Tools?

    I am relatively new to using adobe LiveCycle Designer. I have to say it's a pretty great piece of software.  There are some things in it that really bother me though.
    For example, you can't just drag guides from the rulers. There's no smart guides. The shortcuts that work in every other program don't work for LC.
    The design is 1990 ish and a myriad of other small annoyances. I was just wondering if Adobe has plans to rework LCD to conform to the CC Family Standards.
    Don't get me wrong LiveCycle is the only program in it's class and has been a tremendous help. I just feel it's not up to adobe standards.
    Also, Where's the mac version? I've been having to run ES3 in VMWare due to the fact I only wanted LC Designer and not all the other phooey that comes with it.

    Hi,
    Designer was initially a product from a company named JetForm which was acquired by Adobe in 2002 and its interface hasn't been changed that much by Adobe.
    Here some hints for you:
    If you double click a ruler you'll be able to edit the Drawing Aids.
    You can set snap to grid or to guideline etc.
    In ES3 and newer you also can activate orientation by page center or other objects which is quite similar to the smart guides you may know from InDesign.
    Draging guides from the rulers also works, but only from the upper left corner, not for every ruler separately.
    From the Extras menu you also can create your own shortcuts.
    There has never been a MAC version of Designer and I think there never be one.

  • App Builder doesn't advance - single edition user

    I have followed directions identified in the following chain with Neil Enns - Adobe but have not be able to be successful in advancing in DPS app builder.
    Re: Can't advance in DPS App Builder
    I've completed building my folio and have chosen 'Create App' from the Folio Builder. When DPS App Builder opens, there's nothing listed under app type/name, despite being signed into DPS app builder with the appropriate Adobe ID. When I select 'New', then 'iPad,' it brings me to a form which I then complete, but DPS App Builder won't go any further when I choose 'next'. I'm a single edition user anxiously trying to submit the app before the may 1st expiration deadline.
    I've been chatting with Adobe support, Case # 0186577346, but have not yet had any luck in determining how to fix.
    As referenced in Re: Can't advance in DPS App Builder, I launched App Builder from the Folio Builder Panel. I've also closed the Folio Builder panel once DPS app Builder is open, I've restarted my machine, and uninstalled/reinstall DPS app builder.
    Stuck screen:

    PROBLEM RRESOLVED
    I uninstalled, restarted, and installed as forums indicated. What I found is that DPS App Builder had a default startup window that was showing, so when Adobe InDesign CS6 and told to 'create app,' it was sending data to DPS App Builder, but its default window was negating the data sharing. DPS App Builder didn't have any folio to work from. When I opened DPS App Builder and selected the check box 'do not show at startup,' closed the app, and then told InDesign to 'create app,' again, it was successful. I was able to create icons and splash screens and connect the certificates and move forward from there.
    Neil Enns - Adobe - this may be an important bug to note in DPS app builder.

    It has been quite a while since Apple came up with Map App of their own and should be releasing improved maps with more capabilities in India.

    No one here can answer your question, as there is no one from Apple here, & no one here represents Apple or speaks for Apple.

  • [svn] 2716: SDK-15848 - Conditional compilation constants defined in flex-config. xml are never used if a single constant is specified on the command line

    Revision: 2716
    Author: [email protected]
    Date: 2008-08-04 01:18:12 -0700 (Mon, 04 Aug 2008)
    Log Message:
    SDK-15848 - Conditional compilation constants defined in flex-config.xml are never used if a single constant is specified on the command line
    * There's a possibility this will break a conditional complication test which disallows overwriting an existing definition -- I don't know if that will break the build, but the test should be removed either way.
    * Using append syntax ("-define+=" on the command line or ant tasks, or append="true" in flex-config) and redefining a value works now if you use an already-defined namespace and name.
    * So your flex-config may have -define=CONFIG::debug,false, and you may want -define+=CONFIG::debug,true from the commandline build, or FB build.
    * Made the ASC ConfigVar fields final as a sanity check since overwriting is now allowed. It would be harder to track changes and subtle bugs if they were mutable. This means that you must build a new ConfigVar object if you need to make changes.
    Bugs: SDK-15848
    QA: Yes. Please read the updated javadocs in CompilerConfiguration. Tests need to be added to validate that overwriting is allowed, and happens correctly in different situations: I believe the order should be that flex-config is overwritten by a custom config (can we have more than one user config? is the order deterministic? I forget...), is overwritten by commandline or OEM. Did I miss any? (I didn't write code which changes this, it works however the existing configuration system allows overwriting and appending; if we have tests for that, maybe we don't need them duplicated for this feature.)
    Doc: Yes. Please read the updated javadocs in CompilerConfiguration.

  • I have iPhoto 11, 9.4.1 installed. When my library was upgraded, I got a message the photos couldn't be imported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no longer drag them to the photo stream.

    I have iPhoto 11, version 9.4.1 installed. When my library upgraded, I got a message that the photos couldn't be inported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no oonger drag them to the photo stream.

    Disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's preferences and then go back and reenable it. See if that will jump start the process.  If that doesn't help try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto check its preferences to meka sure all is as you expect and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

    ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

    In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
    I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

  • Are there 3rd party effects plugins available as part of the cloud or do I have to buy them?

    Are there 3rd party effect plugins available as part of the Creative Cloud membership or do I have to buy them directly from the provider? I like a lot of the stuff I see on Video Copilot. I'm new here and my guess is I have to buy them there, but want to make sure I'm not overlooking something here.

    There are a lot of plug-ins available in AE and I would highly recommend learning the basics before you start buying 3rd party effects. Without a really good understanding of how AE works, what the UI is used for, and getting a bit of a handle on how to compose and edit animations you're going to be just parking your investment for a while until you learn how to use AE. I could easily fill up the two or three semesters in a Masters program at a university with nothing more than what comes with AE.
    If you have a very specific need for a very specific effect and your are under a deadline then it's often advisable to purchase a effect, but if you are intent on learning how to animate, composite and create magic then just about anything you have seen can be created with the standard set of plug-ins.

  • Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?

    Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?
    Can such a document be exempted from the cloud feature, a feature that I use for the rest of my stuff?
    If so, how can I do this?

    Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
    Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
    Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
    I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
    If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
    Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

  • Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)

    Is There a way of using an alt key on the iphone (to so alt characters)??
    Cheers all.

    There is no alt key, so no, but there are a lot of preloaded symbols already on the phone, all you have to do is hold a key and extra options will come up. For example, if you want an accent over a, hold a, and it will give you options for it. This also works with the symbols, for example, the $ symbol can be held to provide the money symbol for euros, yens, pounds, etc.
