Basic step-by-step to create pinch and zoom articles for the ipad?

Hi all,
I'm new to Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite. I'm converting a print publication into an ipad app for my employer.
I've selected PDF in the "Default Image Format" when creating a new folio in Folio Builder. And ticked the PDF pinch and zoom box in viewer builder.
However, I'm unable to get the pinch and zoom to work. Instead of zooming, a magnifying glass with a line through it pops up.
Could it have something to do with the Indesign file's dimensions versus the dimesions set in Viewer Builder? I've tested multiple sizes for both, yet
I'm unable to find what the trick is... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm seeing the same problem on my end.  I select PDF as the image format when I upload the folio, but when I view it on the iPad the text looks pretty shoddy and I can't pinch and zoom.  I really don't care about the pinch-n-zoom so much, as I do with getting a better quality rendering of my text.
I don't have smooth scrolling selected.
Nevermind - I see what the problem was. 
I had a single page folio, that was set to smooth scrolling as a defaul in the Folio Producer and it would not allow me to change it.  I added a second page to the folio, and suddenly I could turn smooth scrolling off.  Problem solved I guess?
I'm sill not very happy with the way fonts are rendered on the iPad.  Maybe it will look better once the iPad3 with retina display is released.

  • Pinch and Zoom PDFs for phones and tablets

    Hi,
    I can pinch and zoom PDF files on my phone / tablet.
    However when doing this I would like the document to automatically reformat to fit the screen horizontally.
    This would enable me to read a PDF enlarged to a text size comfortable to me AND only have to scroll up and down and not left and right.
    I am partially sighted and the most frustrating thing when reading PDFs on a phone or tablet is the need to scroll right to carry on reading a page and then scroll back and then a little down and then right again and so on.
    Other APPS such as BBC NEWS when enlarged with pinching the screen autonatically reformat to fit as many words as possible horizontally. When I have a file in word format this is also possible for example email attachments that are word files.
    But PDFs appear to lack this very basic functionality.
    Can you help and make this a possibility for the future if PDFs are currently limited? Or can you please inform me of a method to acheive this now?
    Surely a bright spark at Adobe could make this happen and help all those people with short sightedness.
    Thank you

    This is generally not possible. Unless a PDF has been specifically created to be "accessible" and allows dynamic reformating, it will never change its appearance. The whole point of the PDF format is to retain appearance across different paltforms and devices, after all. It simply works different from HTML.

  • How can I manage several ID on my computer, one for my iPhone and another one for the iPad of the family?

    Hi everybody
    Just have bought an ipad2 and i would like to manage several IDs on my computer (i.e keep my iPhone ID and create another one for the ipad to manage apps for my iPhone (4) and the apps for the iPad).
    How can I resetup the iPad to create that new ID on itunes?
    Thanks for your help
    Jp

    If you have separate iTunes accounts for the two devices then you'll need to buy 2 copies of any app that you want on both device - you can't copy or move apps from one account to another (they are tied to the account that bought/downloaded them). If you want to reset the iPad then logout of the account on it (Settings > Store and tap the id on the right-hand side) and then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings will reset it back to factory defaults.

  • The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

    I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
    For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
    For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
    Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
    Thanks in advance.

    I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover
    Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

  • When I connect my digital camera to my iPad it will only download the stills, not the videos. How can I download the videos? I have the USB and HDMI connectors for the iPad.

    When I connect my Leica digital camera to my iPad it will only download the photos not the videos. How can I download the videos anyone please?

    If your camera has an SD memory card, use the camera connection kit & the SD card to download to the iPad. That's what I do.
    Another way that will work. Download the video(s) to your computer. Then you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    First, Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie file into the folder. The movie file must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie file should appear & you can import.

  • Create a custom viewer app for the iPad and iPhone

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60c5dd08612e5ea7d27f-7ff f.html

    Okay, so just to clarify, once I build the viewer app (using the DPS App Builder) that I want to use with Apple products I submit it to Apple - without any folios? Then once I gain approval from Apple I will be given the proper information to publish folios to the app? May seem like a dumb question but the reason I ask this is because currently I cannot see any of the folios that I have created in the testing/developer app. - even though they have been uploaded to the folio producer and are listed as public and free. This is the part that is still "fuzzy" to me. When do I submit the viewer app for Apple consideration/approval?

  • IPAD3 PINCH AND ZOOM

    Ok working my first ipad 3 rendision. Have a Pinch and Zoom or pan and zoom box and on the ipad3 its not allowing me to zoom in vary far? I have the asset at 4000x4000 px?

    You'll get that behavior when you use a 1024x768 source document for the pan and zoom and create a 2048x1536 folio. When you're doing that, you'll want to scale the image by 50% so that the effective ppi is 144 pixels (the Info panel shows the image's effective ppi). (By the way, the upcoming v23 release will offer more options for this situation.)
    From the Pan & Zoom help topic:
    As a general rule, make sure that the image has the exact dimensions you want to use. For example, to pan a 1024-by-1024 pixel image within a 200-by-200 pixel view area, create a 1024-by-1024 image in 72 ppi. However, if you are using 1024x768 source documents in a 2048x1536 folio, using 72 ppi images can result in a different initial view experiences on different iPad models. One approach is to use layers to create different pan & zoom overlays for the different iPad sizes. Another approach is to scale the image by at least 50% so that the effective ppi is at least 144. That way, the initial view behavior remains identical, although the iPad 3 pan and zoom has a more restricted view area.

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

    When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library.  When I hit "apply" I got this message:
    Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
    (By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
    Thanks for your help - Pat

    I have the same problem.  I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad -  clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad.  WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

  • Bug in PDF pinch and zoom?

    Hi, I have a big problem related the PDF pinch and zoom.
    When I try to make an article with 2 vertical pages each containing one imported PDF and 1 horizontal page contain two imported PDF, the result is a simple jpeg page with no pinch and zoom.
    The strange thing is that if in the same article I add more vertical and horizontal pages, the pinch and zoom works!
    I use the latest version of Folio builder and Folio Producer and, off course, I follow the normal steps: I choose PDF when I create an article, I use iPad and not Android and the PDF zooming is enabled in Viewer Builder.
    I need to have 2 vertical pages and 1 horizontal to adapt an a paper magazine (I know the DPS has not been made for this but my publisher want to publish all our magazine with this platform, we also have a magazine specifically designed for the DPS ). My "idea" is create a stack every two pages to allow rotation between pages remaining on the same pages and enable the horizontaly flow between "articles" but if the pdf are transformed in jpeg I can't proceed...
    It's a bug or I missed some step?
    Thanks in advance for your answers
    Claudio (from Italy, sorry for my english!)

    I think there might be a bug here.
    I've successfully created a pinch zoom folio using the sidecar.zip files posted by Klaasjan.
    However if I import my own article (_h and _v both set to iPad dimensions and containing a simple text field of text).
    If the article format is set to PDF, once created and I view the Properties panel, the Smooth Scrolling option is set to Horizintal only and greyed out so it cannot be changed. So no pinch/zoom is available.
    If the article format is set to Automatic, once created and I view the Properties panel, I can set the Smooth Scrolling property to Off (Snap to page) and tick the Horizintal Swipe Only checkbox (so I'm matching the setting of the sidecar examples).
    However, when I the Update the article to the Folio Producer and then check the article Properties again, the Smooth Scrolling has reverted to Horizontal Only. So again, no pinch zoom.

  • One page not pinching and zooming on mobile devices

    Running OS X 10.9.2
    Adobe Muse CC 2014
    I have uploaded a 4 page website via FTP. Originally the pages were displaying too big (wide) on mobile devices. I couldn't find a solution to this problem so I created a tablet version of the site. Doing so got around that issue, except now 1 out of the 4 pages is not responding to pinch and zoom on mobile devices. The other 3 pages are fine and display at the correct size.
    I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Does anybody know why this would be happening?

    So for anyone having the same issue I think I've found the problem.
    Mobile devices do not respond to pinch and zoom if there is a scroll motion set on that page in Muse. In my case, scroll motion was set by default on the background image inside the content of an accordion panel widget. I had some trouble getting the scroll motion to save as zero for some reason, so I set the values to zero, then unchecked the 'motion' box in; Fill > Scroll > Motion on every background image in the accordion.

  • Is it possible to pinch and zoom

    I have read that I can choose to add articles as pdf if I want the possibility to pinch and zoom.
    If I try I get an error as soon as I try previewing the article.
    Isn't it possible.
    Nina Storm

    I've found that when you create a folio by selecting multiple articles, folio builder seems not to generate them as PDF, and therfor pinch and zoom does not work, I've mentioned this loads of times, I think it is being looked into.
    I think if you add articles one at a time it will work, but thats a bit slow! I've previously got around it by creating the folio in the old content builder.
    works fine in there.
    Cheers

  • Lost pinch and zoom!

    is there a problem when adding multiple stacks/articles in that when you select multiple you lose what type of file it should be ie PDF etc.
    reason I ask, is that pinch and zoom doesnt work using this work flow.
    I went back and created the single issue folio with content builder and that folio works
    yet more frustrations.....
    thanks for any help
    Cheers
    Alistair

    Hi Bob, no.
    I have 20 stacks/articles, most of which are static, so in Content builder I saved the folio as single issue, and in the drop down selected PDF as file type
    then using the latest content builder created an ipa, put on the ipad and pinch and zoom works as expected.
    Doing the same with the current and latest tools, and loading the stacks as multiple files, (with no way to select what type of file, pdf, jpg etc)
    saving out to an ipa, I lose pinch and zoom.
    just about to try adding the stacks one at a time, all 20 of them, deep joy!
