Block Pages in digital publishing

   hello,
I wanted to know if it is possible to lock the pages of an application of digital publishing in such a way that the transition from one page to another occurs only with buttons and not through the horizontal scroll.
thanks
Paolo

Sorry for the delay.
In such scenario you have to provide a dummy MSO with 2 empty states for every page. You can use master pages to make your work faster. For every MSO you set a slideshow with "swipe to change image" checked. This will prevent from swiping to next or previous article.
In the article properties leave the "horizontal scroll only" option unchecked, to allow vertical scrolling within your articles. Also set smooth scrolling to "Off (Snap to Page"). You have to provide buttons with actions "Go to URL" on every page. I would suggest using "navto://relative" format, as described here:

All that said, I am rather skeptical of using button navigation throughout the app. Swipe is far more natural on tablets, and it doesn't constrain your other interactivity on the page as much as dummy MSO. I use this solution mainly when I want to direct my readers to some specific place in the app, or to provide them with a multiple choice, instead of letting them just continue linear reading.

  • Facing pages when Digital Publishing

    I used document setup to change a document's intent to Digital Publishing - the master still shows facing pages, which I think is not supposed to show when intent is set to digital publishing.
    Anybody seen this? Have a workaround.It's not a show-stopper, but I prefer not to have hanging chads when I go to publish.
    P.S. great job with the live demo today Colin and Bob.

    No. You need enterprise edition to create a custom storefront.

  • ANN: MEI Portico Version 2.0 for Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Now Available

    Jenkintown, PA (November 28, 2012) — Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) today announced MEI Portico™ version 2.0, the latest in the premier Adobe® development partner's lineup of solutions for publishers. The new version of MEI's custom storefront software for tablets was built to empower Adobe Digital Publishing Suite™ customers and is now available for purchase.
    MEI Portico lets publishers create custom branded UIs for their mobile and tablet apps on Apple, Google Android, and Amazon Kindle Fire platforms. Custom storefronts enable multiple gateways for showcasing user-targeted tablet content within the app. App administrators can enable search capabilities and organize their DPS folios as they see fit, so that navigation is easy and readers can effortlessly find the issues they want or are entitled to. Portico allows publishers to override in-app purchases for authenticated subscribers, and enables restricted distribution capabilities for corporate and educational institutions using Adobe DPS as part of their digital communications strategy.                       
    MEI Portico 2.0 introduces custom canvases to the original Portico toolbox. Rather than having to rely on templates for their storefront’s landing view, designers can now create their own HTML designs to incorporate into an MEI Portico-driven interface. Using web design skills, designers have full control over every aspect of their app’s look and feel — from storefront layout to images, login pages to RSS or social media feeds, subscriber views to featured folios. And because administrators can launch canvases at a moment’s notice, implementing new features into your app can be completed without a time consuming app update.
    "Custom canvases mean that DPS apps can take advantage of Portico’s robust feature set without compromising their brand’s look and feel," said Brett Kizner, MEI's director of new product marketing. "Portico 2.0 has delivered greater flexibility with the ability for our customers to design their own app experience on their app landing page."

  • Digital Publishing Suite Help | What's new in this release

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/whats-new-release.html

    This v28 marks the end of the immersive feeling a Folio could offer the user. In stead of having a truly full-screen experience, there's always that iOS7 system bar in sight. At least, that's what I understand from this documentation. So there's no way to prevent users to be distracted by anything unrelated in their screen. That's a real pity !
    Some might think this is just a trivial change with eventually minor impact, but I think being able to present content over the whole screen is a crucial factor in distinguishing a Folio from other publishing formats like a web page.
    Does this requirement also affect other apps like e-readers or games ?

  • How difficult is it to digitally publish a newsletter if one knows Indesign and Dreamweaver well?

    I have been asked to quote the cost of turning a newsletter produced in Indesign into a digital format for iPad and Android tablet using the Digital Publishing Suite professional edition. I have never used it but I'm very versed in Indesign and also Dreamweaver so my question is directed more towards learning curve.
    From what I can tell, previous newsletters had mostly static content accessible via and index page. Some page titles were animated and there was embedded video.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    I suggest you take a few minutes to learn the DPS basics so that you can estimate the amount of work required. Watch a few videos, and download the free DPS Tips app.

  • Quick Tips For Speed Your Digital Publishing WorkFlow

    I think that we have a great problem with our Digital Publishing Workflow's speed . I talk about, for example, of set up State Objets Sliedshows for multiple page, and I mean, there are another similar examples about that. Do you know if does exist more tips for speed our workflow in InDesign for Digital Publishing Output?
    Thanks a lot!
    Sorry for my bad english.
    Bye!
    Marco Toscano

    Muito abrigado my friend!  Seriously thanks a million, but I was curious to know about my situation regarding replacing my first shot multiple times... In another words there's a clip already in the storyline which won't allow me to replace edit since it just moves out of the way.  Would you just go back into the browser and add the original selection to the first clip?  Because I kept having to move my connected music and solid I just gave up and would wait until the end to add the music and solid (I add the solid to give the background a different color when I want to create the letterbox effect). 
    I just watched a music video tutorial where someone created a 3 minute solid, made like a hundred cuts with the blade tool and manually dragged each clip from his browser to replace from start for each of those cuts in the solid...
    What is your workflow for music-based edits?  Do you place the song in the primary story line and use the video as connected clips?  Do you use a solid or gap clip and dissect it with cuts and replace the segments with clips? I really hate not being able to add markers to the timeline and must make those marks on a clip/generator/music track of some kind.  Also if you have a project that has the same settings with fps, crop size, solid as a background is there a way to make template so I don't have to do that each and every time?
    Thanks again my friend!!!

  • Digital Publishing Suite Help | Hyperlink and button overlays

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/hyperlink-overlays.html

    @Fabian – just for the records: there is a way.
    But it's quite a hack!
    You cannot rely on it for future versions of DPS or InDesign…
    1. You start with two buttons and a single MSO on the same page.
    Button 1 says: Go to State 1 of MSO
    Button 2 says: Go to State 2 of MSO
    NOW the hack:
    2. DUPLICATE (do not copy/paste) the two buttons by [alt] + drag with the mouse to page 2.
    You'll see, that the duplicates still control the MSO on page 1.
    The following screen shots will illustrate this:
    Here the state control of the green button on page 1:
    Here the state control of the green button on page 2:
    (Note the difference!)
    To make it clear again. I would not recommend to do it.
    But you could test it. Come back and report if that is working for you with the most recent versions of InDesign and ADPS…
    (I accomplished this with InDesign CS5.5 v7.5.3)

  • Digital Publishing Suite Help | Layout design overview

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/layout-design-overview.html

    Great Video.
    Can you have two 15 page docs for Horz and Vert formats marry them in folio, so that article 1 has a Horz and Vert orientation,article 2 the same and so on and so on right up to article 15?
    Right now it seems like I would have to break the two docs into 15 individual docs each to accomplish the Horz and Vert orientation.

  • Pull Out Sliders and Trays | Digital Publishing | Adobe TV

    Create a scrolling frame that slides in and out of a page, revealing more information when the reader pulls on a tab. This is useful when you want to provide a little more information for your reader, but you don't want it to interrupt the full design of the page.Download Bob Bringhurst's Tips App to read a tutorial on scrolling frames: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt =8
    http://adobe.ly/yh9iTm

    These tutorials, while extremely useful, should be dated. As of June 2012, there's a "Scrollable Frame" overlay that makes this workaround unnecessary, and you can't even achieve the effect the way its shown here.

  • Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Workflow

    We are looking into the professional edition of the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite for a magazine and have a few questions about the workflow:
    Is this the correct workflow:
    Create document in indesign for magasine issue
    Turn an indesign document into a .folio file? (Would a .folio file be considered an "issue")
    Create an app somehow (where is this part done)
    Submit the viewer app to apple, submit to amazon..etc
    Is there a site somewhere that shows visual of the entire process?

    Here are some resources:
