Buying multiple single editions

Hello
I'm a freelance designer working in the UK. Can someone at Adobe please confirm that I can buy a DPS single edition in the UK? I think I can, but it still says I can't in the DPS opening page.
Also, I understand that by buying a single edition, I'm able to publish a single app, but I'm unclear about buying multiple single editions and the relationship with the viewer builder. If I have a client who wants to publish four digital publications per year, can I buy 4 single editions and place the 4 folios in a client branded multi-issue viewer builder, or will each folio have its own viewer builder? I feel that I need to properly understand this before I approach prospective clients.
Thank you for any guidance you can give.

Hi,
DPS Single Edition is available in the UK. See: https://store2.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-UK&event=displayProduct&ca tegoryPath=%2FApplications%2FDPSSingle
You have the ability to purchase multiple licenses for Single Edition per year. You have to create 4 individual viewers.
From a customer experience, you are talking about a periodical publication (published 4 times a year). A multi-folio viewer (kiosk) with 4 folios would be a better route / solution. This will require a DPS Pro subscription.
When you go down the road of using four 'single' applications, there are chances that Apple will ask you to convert this into a multi-folio app anyway after some time (because of the customer experience); I have heard about this happening in Europe.
With kind regards,

Can I buy multiple single app purchases?

It's more economical for me to buy 2 single app purchases, than paying to access the full suite monthly (at the cancel any-time rate)
Is this even possible though?

Can I buy more than one membership to an individual offering of Creative Cloud?
No, Adobe has moved to identity-based licensing with a technology that will not support multiple same-product licenses, so you can buy only one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two Creative Cloud memberships, you will need to purchase each with a unique Adobe ID. You can also purchase a Creative Cloud for teams membership, which allows you to purchase and manage multiple seats under one account.
So you can buy a Photoshop Single App and a Illustrator Single App membership using the same Adobe ID
but not 2 x Photoshop Single App or 2 x individual Cloud memberships with the same Adobe ID.

Multiple Single Edition Folios?

I'm evaluating publishing a small distribution magazine on a quarterly basis. Since we're on a limited budget, I'm thinking of purchasing the "Single Edition" each time we publish. Is this possible? If so, I assume that it would result in multiple "apps" within the iOS 5 newsstand ... I wonder if Apple will approve multiple "magazine" apps with the same magazien name, just different editions?
Thanks for thoughts,
Ted

This depends on a lot of factors -- Is the issue free? If it is free, then just do an "update" and replace the quarterly issues. This is what we do with our publication The Portland Guide. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/portland-guide/id417272725?mt=8
If it's a paid option, you can do either of these two things:
1. You can release each app individually and have several on there (I'd recommend no more than 4 "editions" per year so it doesn't get too complicated. -- Just throw up updates for each "edition" for each subsequent years. You of course could delete the issues too in case you want to keep the issues at the top of the "New Apps" list. For example you could call it something like this: YourPublication Fall 2011, then delete it and the next year you could call it YourPublication Fall 2012.
2. You could just delete each issue and follow the same principals as above: YourPublication Fall 2011, YourPublication Winter 2012, YourPublication Spring 2012, etc.
My recommendations: If it's free, do the option above. If it's paid, I recommend using the 1st method as you'll have a year's worth of "Archived Copies." Four editions isn't enough to "clutter" the app store, so Apple should be fine. But don't quote me on that.
Hope that helps!
Best Wishes,

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Single Edition For Other Countries

Hi, What would be the best way to buy the Single Edition to other countries ?
My client sits in a country where DPS is still not available ! Can I buy the subscription on his behalf ? Are there any consequences ?
Is their any restriction on buying the Single Edition from the US store from another country ? For example, can my client make the purchase directly from the US store or does he need a US Credit Card / Address, etc ?
Can someone please clarify

Hope for Single Edition in India

Is Digital Publishing Suite Single Edition going to be availabale in India ?

Bob Bringhurst, Neil Enns.... please respond... is there any chance for me to buy a single edition in India...

Single Edition purchase conditions

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding Single Edition. If I were to buy the Single Edition and then I designed a free magazine (let´s call it "Example"):
- Can I update a .folio on the first month, later on delete it and then update a new edition ("Example 2")?
- How many downloads does Single Edition support?
I read a few posts about this sobject but couln´t clear my doubts.
Thanks

Hi Bob -- I have a related question. I'm at the point of sending my single edition app to iTunes. I've done this 4 times before, no problem, following the Publishing Guide and Apple instructions. This time I tried to get a NEW Apple ID for the app and the Bundle seed ID pulldown only allowed me to pick Team leader (my Apple ID) or one of the strings I've already used, NOT "Generate New." I used the former, (my ID) but since I had used that before, the iTunes store rejected it. I have a trouble ticket in with Apple, but time is marching on without a response, and I wondered if you or others have hit this snag before??? It doesn't match anything in the DPS instructions. Since I used that unacceptable identifer when generating the Adobe parts, including downloading the .ipa, when I finally get a new Bundle seed ID from Apple, will DPS allow me to generate another one with the same single-edition serial number? Your advice much appreciated, Beth

Converting a single edition into Multiple edition

I have created a single edition ipad app (Game Drive - A Safari Guide), which is selling well. But now I want to create an iphone app multiple edition app. I submitted the iphone app, but Apple rejected it as they say that it is not compatible with ipad. So to be able to have an iphone app, I have to have an ipad version of the same app. My problem is that it is the same app, i.e. if I have a multiple edition app called Game Drive, it will be the same as the single edition app that I already have on the app store.
My questions are: 1. What is the tendancy - do people buy multiple edition apps more, or single editions? i.e. will I loose out if I convert to a multiple edition app on my ipad?
2. If I keep the single edition of the app on the app store for the ipad, will people get confused because there are two apps with the same name? Has anybody done that before?
3. Is it worthwhile putting it on newsstand?
My existing app is selling quite well, and don't want to mess with something that works. But to be able to create an iphone app, I have to have a multiple ipad app of the same thing.
Can someone give some advice please?

Buy License for single edition....newbie question

Hi, very new to this forum and DPS. I tried to click the "Buy licence for single edition" link on the left of the page, but was not provided with any cost information - only an adobe product notification page. I am a Adober CS5.5 Design Premium subscriber. Keen to know costings before I learn how to do all this. Cheers

it depends on the adobe store website and may be a legal issue too, because
you don't buy software but a licence here (in fact, sth. like a serial
number)

Multiple languages in Single Edition DPS

Hi,
We have just finished a single-folio application for a client in English and are about to publish it to the App Store. But our client has requested that we add 5 languages for the second version of the application, to be published in a month or two.
We've tried looking around for the best way to do this using Single Edition DPS but have not been able to find any documentation about how to do it. We know it's possible to do it using multi-folio applications, but our client doesn't want to publish a multi-folio app.
Has anybody here tried publishing a multi-language app using Single Edition? Any tips or links to documentation about it?
Thank you in advance for any help on this!
Diana

This is not possible with DPS Single Edition, you will have to either create separate apps for each language or you will have to include all languages in one app however that will make your app very large and also will create confusion in navigating. The best option for you would be to create separate apps for each language and publish them regionally.

Need to split multi-page ID file into multiple-single paged ID files

I have created a 366 page document (and have 2 more to create). None of the text threads from page to page, and there are no master page items. Each page is destined to be used as a single block that will be copied and pasted into a master document by a database driven plugin (and for color editing reasons it needs to be separate .indd files). For expediency, I created these as a single document because I could import the text with ID style tags to pre-format the text (with all text blocks threaded). I then broke all the text threads using API's Auto Unstich plugin. We then manually tweaked the text of each page.
Gluon once sold a plugin called DocSplitter, but it has not been updated since CS1 and does not work with CS4.
Before you ask why I don't have the database plugin create multiple single page docs — the plugin doesn't currently save to individual ID docs (yet - feature to be released in 3 months).
I know that scripting could possibly do what I need, but I have little to no experience with AppleScript (7 years ago) and none with Javascript. Would love to find a pre-packaged solution and am willing to pay someone for it.
many thanks
Roger

The link I was given was a dead link. I noted it in my post, so I am hoping the person that posted it will repost a
new link. If I get it I will repost it here as well.
I should add that the Badia Software EportTools demo is excellent. I will be buying it. It allows you to export individual PDF, EPS, PS, JPG, Text, INX and INDD files from any multipaged Indd file. It also allows for comprehensive file renaiming similar to Adobe Bridge, it even has a few twists that bridge might not have. The demo is fully operational for 30 days with no limitations except for a slightly annoying reminder. You can also export in text mode with Indd text tags attached.

Clarity on Single Edition vs. Professional Edition

Hi Guys,
I am just trying to make the decision on whether I need the professional edition or whether it’s not worth it. I was hoping some of the regulars here might be able to answer a few questions;
What happens if you buy 10,000 folios and you sell 10,001… does it automatically top up, do you get billed later, or is that extra person blocked from downloading the app until you buy more folios?
What happens with your unused folios – do they simply become available to the next product you release? What happens if you cancel your subscription, or never sell more than 10,000? Are they refunded?
If you have the Professional Edition, can you choose to still release apps as a single edition (as in free of the folio download costs) when required?
Is there any way you can release an App through the single edition service, whereby it has an expiry date. For example, if the user downloads the app and in three months you want to make it so they can’t open the app again (they have to buy a new issue, for example) can you do that?
I currently have a Creative Cloud membership, which comes with the Single Edition DPS. If I roll over into the Professional Edition, does it replace my existing package? So I have Creative Cloud plus the PE features?
Many thanks
Chris

I'll answer the ones I know for sure off the top of my head.
2. Unused folios are available for any issues and publications you produce under your professional edition account. You can have multiple titles available, for example, and they all share the same bundle of folio downloads. If you cancel your subscription they are gone and are not refunded.
3. Yes.
4. No.
5. They are separate. Professional Edition *only* gives you DPS publication capabilities. You still need to maintain your Creative Cloud subscription if you want access to Adobe software like InDesign, Photoshop, etc.

Designing for Phablets w/Single Edition

I am an Adobe Creative Cloud - Single Edition subscriber. I have enjoyed the benefits and privileges that have come with my subscription and have created a number of iPad apps.
I am also aware that my Single Edition subscription limits my app creation to the iPad only. I am okay with not creating apps for the Android or other operating systems. But as of late, more and more reports are showing a decrease in iPad usage and an increase in the use of phablets. I'm not sure of the reasons that a Single Edition subscriber can't create for an iPhone as well since it's the same iOS that the iPad uses. After all, iPad apps can be seen on an iPad mini, which isn't much larger than that of a phablet.
My bottom line and concern is that as a designer of iPad only apps, I'm concerned that more users are buying phablets rather than iPads, which my Single Edition subscription won't allow me to design for. I feel I stand at risk of losing business and design opportunities for my clients.
Thoughts? I appreciate your feedback.

Lisa,
Thank you for the suggestions. I also have multiple signs-ins for different clients and for my own work. Unfortunetly, after a reinstall, nothing has change.
Scott,
I do appoligize for the curtness of my messages, but please understand my frustration on the matter. I am a professional DPS publisher with multiple apps in the store. I subscribed to Creative Cloud largely because I was promised free Single Edition publishing. It is a feature I would like to use and it enables a lower price point for my clients. To have these problems arise, especially late on Friday after a long week, is extrememly disapointing.
Thank you both for your help and please forward any additional suggestions.

Future of Single Edition

Hello all,
Like many DPS users, most of my clients looking to take advantage of DPS do not have the type of projects to support a full pro or enterprise investment. This is where the single edition coudpled with my Creative Cloud membership has been a real dream for my company. My question is are there any plans to expand this functionality in the future?
I completely undetstand why the focus MUST be on the pro and enterprise versions. Adobe needs to make money off of this and both systems are great for companies that have an ecosystem that can support them. I started my time with DPS years ago with a company that had a pro account and it fit us like a glove. However we published 13 differnt pubs per month. When I went out on my own, I found that most of my new clients just did not have the type of monthly content to support the big systems. My main problem with using the single edition is the inablilty to have a single, published piece of content on multiple devices. Are there any plans in the future on expanding the types of devices that the Single Edition will allow? I understand that you get what you pay for and allowing my clients to publish with me to an iPad just becasue I am a Creative Cloud member is great. However I would be interested in paying a fee to allow them to take that single piece of content, whether it be a catalog or a children's book, and also publishing it to the iPhone and Android devices. As a business owner paying more for that possibility does not really affect me since I pass along the cost to the client. They have all shown interest in expanding to these deivices, but obviously the cost and functionality of pro and enterprise is just way overblown for their needs. They will never buy into it for a single piece of content, or for a few yearly projects. Before Creative Cloud my clients had no issues at all with the single edtion fee which I think was 3-400 dollars. Almost all of them asked if they could pay more to get on more devices. I had to tell them no, even though they were asking to pay more.
For clients that absolutely have to have their product on multiple devices I have found myself having to bring in developers to build these apps from scratch. This is fine but it costs more, takes longer, and frankly provides similar experiences to what DPS provides. With the ability to bring in HTML 5 and other web languages, you can do so many things with DPS besides magazines. It is a truely amazing and creative platform. Again my clients and I have no problems with paying for this type of functionality. I fully understand that Adobe needs to make money on this as well and with the single edition you are NOT getting any money from folio downloads or the big yearly renewal. If this type of option were availalbe I think you would see a major amount of growth and use of DPS for things other than major publications.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Luke

Well the keynote was awesome. I love everything that I saw. However it looks as if publishing for single edition will not be expanding. Its just a shame. Just because a company does not have the material to support a pro or enterprise account shouldnt mean that they can't put their content on multiple devices with DPS. Espcially if, as is true of my clients, they are willing to pay a fee to do so. There needs to be a step between the single edition CC option and a pro account with a cost associated with it. That way more smaller businesses can leverage the full power of DPS and Adobe can make some profit from allowing them to do so. Its getting harder and harder to find people who JUST want their content on the iPad.
