Converting iPad publication for Android

I've developed iPad versions of digital magazines but now we want to make them available to the Android market.
I know Viewer Builder will create the Android app, but in terms of screen size/aspect ratio, how does that work? With different tablets having different screen sizes, is it just a case of designing in a safe zone so we can push it out to all tablets? Obviously, not many people will have the time or inclination to design at the right size for every available tablet...
Also, how is an Android app pushed to the Andorid Marketplace?
Thanks.

Why is there no Adobe Shape CC for Android?

Android is the majority of the smart phone market share. Why is there no Adobe Shape CC for Android? Is the app for Android in development?

It's pathetic that Adobe has not to my knowledge stepped forward to even address this for those of us paying. I firmly believe Android users should receive $10 off minimum their subscription price since we don't have full access to the service. People have been begging for over a year now to have the Apple Apps converted and used for Android systems.. Especially since Android as so many have pointed out, is the majority of the market. Adobe is dropping the ball big time, and at least acknowledging that we have asked this question over and over and letting us know WHY, we might be a little more forgiving. Why, why, WHY?!

Text for ipad,windows and android

Hi
I'll publish a folio for ipad , windows and android.
If I have understood correctly, Is the best way to create an iPad version first and use the same folio to the other platforms.
I have made a folio of 1024x768 and has 16pt for body text. PDF format.
The problem is that the text is ugly in Android and Windows versions.
What should I do to get the best deal on the windows and android versions?
Regards
Ake

I have attached three screenshots.

Convert Document Size for iPad

We have a 220 page catalog that was set up for a 8-in x 11-in print publication. We are now needing to create a digital publication for an iPad of the same document. The easiest way would be to resize the document and now scale up the text and images to make them fit better. After we resize to the new document, we select all the pages and attempt to use the liquid layout to rescale the images and text. The issue is that it will only rescale one page and not the entire catalog. Is there a way to do this so all pages are rescaled uniformly?

We diid but that resizes the document page but does not affect the copy and images.

If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?

I work for a organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad and want to continue this through 2015.
At the moment we can only create apps for the iPad platform. If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We do not need multi-folio apps as we are not a publishing company.

Thanks Neil
I sent an email yesterday and am awaiting a reply. Here is my email for reference.

I work for a large organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad through Indesign and the App builder. We now want to produce apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We are not a publishing company so we will produce a small number of the apps. If you could get back to me with a solution and approx price that would be great.
Thanks for your time

Generate apk file for android.

Why is my account with Creative Clound can not develop for android but only for Ipad. How can I develop for android? I would not want to pay more for a subscription plan Digital Publishing Suite to power. I do not have a very large volume to justify a new subscription.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll look for another solution for my case. As my volume is not large enough to justify the expense. Should have plans for a small publication or situations.

Adobe Creative Cloud app for Android (preview) compatibility?

HI - I notice that Adobe have released an Adobe Creative Cloud (preview) app for Android. This is very welcome as it would allow me to share files across Windows desktop, Android tablet and, if necessary, iPad.
But it says it isn't compatible with my Hudl2 - why?
Could it be because my tablet is wifi only? (I hope not.)

I now have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Android app is not compatible with that device either - why?

Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

I am a medical teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to" video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure. It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader? Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

Best practice for images. Air for Android

Hey guys...
I was thinking about the best solution when it comes to images storage for Air on Android.
Since I dont have much experience with non-web based apps, I thought of two way and I would like to know your thought on them.
1.Application Storage Directory. If I get it right, this folder is created when the app is installed and the project can access files in it. Any idea on how this can work with images?
2.Database. My app uses a local database anyway so maybe that the proper way to do it. I've done some research and found out that the image must be converted to a byte array (thats easy) but then I dont have a clue on how to save it to the database.
So? Which one is better for the mobile world?
Also, if there are other ways let me know please.

While I am no expert in this area, I did run across this blog:
http://www.remotesynthesis.com/post.cfm/local-caching-of-remote-images-in-air-for-android
It deal with local caching of remotely loaded images. Should be exactly what you are looking for.

Does Adobe Reader for Android have the Flash Player Runtime

I have a PDF document that I generate which contains an embedded Flex application.
It works fine with the desktop version of PDF reader. However. It doesn't appear that
PDF reader for Android contains the Flash Player runtime.
Can someone from Adobe confirm this ?
Thanks.

Dov, you confimed that Adobe Reader for Android has the Flash Player Runtime - I thought this feature is necessary to be able to show embedded (flv) videos?
What about viewing cross platform proof PDF files containing mp4 (H.264) embedded videos?
Up to now I’m forced to show ezPDF Reader in my workflow scenarios - think about the bad psychology that I always will have explain that the rich media PDF workflows could work with Adobe products, but Adobe itself seems to limit PDF use cases in order not to become a competitor of let’s guess of FOLIO?
Please explain me why? No market? I would like to contradict as much as I can.
If someone starts to weaken the big possibilities for PDF even on mobile devices this seems to be Adobe itself: Where are the Adobe show cases showing rich media PDFs on mobile devices?
Almost everything Adobe is showing with rich media information is in DPS based on Folio (slide shows, videos etc).
You might get all the functionality much easier using PDF (seen from a classic DTP workflow using Word, FrameMaker or InDesign)
Why didn’t Adobe add more multimedia features? Where is the 3D support on mobile devices?
Has Adobe changed the overall PDF strategy?
Where is an Adobe PDF cross platform strategy for using rich media PDFs on PC, Macs, Android and iPhone/iPads?

Inserting blank pages on Adobe Reader for Android

I'm a student and I use the Adobe Reader app for all my note-taking in lectures. If the lecture slides aren't released as .pdfs, I convert them before I go to my lecture because the Adobe Reader for Android app is so good for notetaking.
However, economics is full of graphs, and I have to draw these on my lecture pad because there's rarely enough space on the slide pdfs. Is it possible to insert empty pages on Adobe Reader for Android? If not, are there plans to make this a feature? I think it would make Adobe Reader for Android the only notetaking app students need.

Generally I just save the file as PDF in Powerpoint, but if I don't have access to a computer, I use the app PowerPoint2PDF on my Nexus 7.
iAnnotate has the ability to create blank pages when taking notes on a PDF, but it's much clunker than Adobe Reader on Android.

Adobe DPSSE for Android -- Why not?

Can someone please help me understand why the refusal to offer this for Androids? Is Adobe in an exclusive Apple contract or similar? Please do not respond with stupid suggestions like "buy an apple". We have costs concerns and not every company can afford to pump extra dollars in a platform because it's trendy, cute, and expensive.

They don’t offer for iPhone either. It’s iPad only. For starters on android you are limited to 50 megabyte apps.
I understand that Twixl has a method for getting around this. You might want to check them out because Adobe has pretty much said they have no plans to offer this.

Flash Builder Burrito only for android in terms of mobile development?

Is FB 4.5 only for android?
there's like no option for BlackBerry, Windows 7, or iPhone...
Blackberry had press releases with adobe, a while back but their newest phone the BlackBerry torch doesn't even support flash and it's been atleast 6 months.
Couldn't find anything on Windows 7 about flash or air 2.5 support currently or in the future.
iPhone is a weird one, they let other tools to develop apps FINALLY, but flash doesn't run on iPhone or iPad etc...etc...

So From your post, I'm reading...
Yes to Android
Yes to iPHONE / iPAD
Yes to blackberry tablet but NO blackberry phone?
No to windows 7 phone.

Allowing Airwatch MDM access to the Captive-Portal guest users in pre-auth role for android and BB?

Requirement:
How to allow Airwatch MDM access to the Captive-Portal guest users in pre-authentication role for Android and Blackberry devices?
What is Airwatch MDM?
Airwatch MDM is Mobile Device Management. The Airwatch is an enterprise which helps to manage and secure data traveling through the mobile devices like Laptops, Tablets, Android, iPhones, iPads etc.
Solution:
Why we need to allow access to Airwatch MDM?
The network administrator can force the guest users to register to Airwatch MDM before they get authenticated and access the internet. So that the network administrator could manage the guest devices through Airwatch Management tool. This can be achieved by CPPM server. To download the Airwatch MDM app and register with the Airwatch MDM server certain domains should be permitted in the captive portal pre-authentication role. This KB provides the configuration steps to allow the guest users to download the Airwatch MDM app and register with the Airwatch MDM server.
Configuration:
Below is the configuration
Configuration steps:
1. Create the following netdestinations
netdestination Airwatch
name *.awagent.com
name *.awmdm.com
name air-watch.com
netdestination Google-Play
name android.clients.google.com
name .ggpht.com
name gstatic.com
name accounts.google.com
name clients1.google.com
name clients2.google.com
name clients3.google.com
name clients4.google.com
name i.ytimg.com
name google-analytics.com
name .1e100.net
name android.l.google.com
name mtalk.google.com
name clients.l.google.com
name googleapis.com
name gvt1.com
netdestination BlackBerry
name *.blackberry.com
2. Now define the rules in the session acl and map it to the pre-authentication Role of the captive portal.
ip access-list session Airwatch_Access
any   alias Airwatch svc-http permit
any   alias Airwatch svc-https permit
ip access-list session Google-Play-Store
               any   alias Google-Play any permit
ip access-list session BlackBerry-Access
               any   alias BlackBerry any permit
3. Now map the session ACLs to captive-portal pre-authentication Role as follows
user-role Guest-Pre-Auth-Role
access-list session Airwatch_Access
access-list session Google-Play-Store
access-list session BlackBerry-Access
access-list session logon-control
access-list session captiveportal
4. Now whitelist the list of domain names in the Captive Portal profle
aaa authentication captive-portal Airwatch-Captive-Portal-Profile
white-list Airwatch
white-list Google-Play                                                                                ------------>Netdestinations where you defined the Domains.
white-list BlackBerry
Verification
Now the user will be placed under the "Guest-Pre-Auth-Role" before the authentication. The user can now go the Google Play-Store or BlackBerry Appworld to download the Airwatch MDM and register to Airwatch Management Server.

Thanks so much getting these names listed out. I have been working on this very issue for a few weeks and was basing my firewall rules on IP's. It was not going well. Now access is working and testing can commence!  Thanks,Chris
