Cost per download in Professional Edition?

What, if any, cost is there per download from Adobe in DPS Professional Edition?
Another thing: As a Professional Edition subscriber can I still create Single edition apps?
I ask this here because it is very difficult to get this info on your site.
Thank you, Yngvi

Oddly, DPS Pro accounts are still on sale - speak to your Adobe representative in your region. They will be able to tell you how much, and also how many downloads you get with the account. And additionally the cost of fulfilment bundles of 1,000 etc.
If DPS Pro accounts aren't on sale in your region, you need to request a quote from your Adobe rep in your region, with specific app details, platforms, how many apps, how many downloads would you expect, and so on.

Using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition

Hello to everyone,
I'm intrested of using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite in my work and i have a few questions.
First of all, I want to make some newsstand application for apple and then for android. I got about 5-6 different magazines that each one maybe can publish 5-12 issues annualy.
In which license can i use the software for as many as magazines i want (that means e.g. 10 apps, each one for each magazine)?
What is the cost for that?
I appreciate your time,
Thanks in advance,
Nick

You can either purchase DPS professional or enterprise edition. In both edition you can create ios including newssatand and android apps.
Professional Edition is available as an annual agreement or a month-to-month subscription.
Professional Monthly subscription purchased through the Adobe store will cost US$495.
Professional Edition Annual subscription purchased through Digital Publishing Suite Channel Reseller Partner and the Adobe store will cost you US$5,940
Enterprise Edition is available through a custom quote based on platform, service, and support fees.

How the download folios bundle work with Professional Edition?

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to get information about some specific questions without luck.
This is the scenario:
We need to develop a newsletter for a company using the Apple Enterprise membership. First wave will be iOS devices only. Second wave will include Android devices. The newsletter will have around 4 issues per year.
1) Using montlhy membership, are the folio downloads accumulative? Newsletter1, Newsletter2 will give us 500 downloads for the first year? And after that, purchasing the 10,000 will distribute the downloads between all of the folios we have published? The number of available downloads are assigned to the user profile instead of individual apps?
2) Does the folio downloads expire?
3) If we are not using iTunes to distribute the newsletter, how do we keep track of the downloads? Does this happen in the application when installed? And this opens the question if we really need the download fee if we are not using iTunes?
4) If using the Creative Cloud (which only works with iOS devices) will gives us unlimited downloads, right? Does this type of folio work with the Apple enterprise membership?
5) If we create the first wave using the Creative Cloud service, and later we get the Professional Edition, can we "transfer" folio information from the CC to the new Service?
I already called:
877-792-3623 as published on the professional's edition page (they say only can help with Enterpise) and sent me to 1800-443-8158 (Volume Licensing) which didn't know the answers.
I'm trying this way because it was kind of frustrating trying to find the answers by phone.
Please, any help would be great.

1) I'm not sure what you mean by "accumulative". See http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-pro/buying-guide-pricing.html for the included downloads. If you buy monthly then you get 250 downloads per month, and only one month worth will carry forward. If you buy the annual version you get 5,000 downloads, but again, those do not roll over to your next year of service. Folio bundles apply across all publications in your account, not to an individual application.
2) The ones included in your monthly or annual subscription expire at the end of each month or year. A folio bundle purchase expires one year after the date of purchase.
3) For calculating download bundle consumption that's all done by the application itself, not iTunes. The DPS dashboard at http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ will show you the download counts for your publications.
4) Creative Cloud only gives you access to building Single Edition applications. That's a complete, self-contained, application with your content inside. There is no ability to download additional content into the application, and therefore no download charges and no "unlimited" downloads. It's just a single, self-contained, application in the app store.
5) If you start with a Single Edition application and then want to switch to a multi-issue application you'll need to make a new multi-issue application with App Builder and submit it to iTunes as an update to your existing application. Your existing content used to build the SE application can easily be re-published (if necessary) so it shows up in the new multi-issue application. Your readers will see an app update available, download it, and then have the multi-issue experience inside the app. If you are charging for the newsletters it will be problematic granting previous purchasers of your Single Edition application rights to the same content in the multi-issue application.

Is there any difference of the Downloading speed of Folio if i'm in Enterprise or Professional Editi

Hi Adobe,
I have compared the downloading time between Adobe Multi-Viewer and Zinio App(also hosting digital magazine), I found out that it is so much faster in Zinio.
Are there any difference of the downloading speed if let's say the I'm in Enterprise or in Professional edition?
Thank you for the response!

There is no speed throttling that I’m aware of.

II have not included the cost of editing and publicity, neither have included the earning from ad material or merchandising, it is only an estimate to see if my calculation for adobe dps platform is correct. In India,
We are a 120,00,00,000 population country, almost 1,00,00,000 tablet users, Convincing (0.1%) 10,000 annual subsciber for US$ 12 / INR 650/-, I hope and pray, should not be much.

Professional Edition - Single app only?

I heard from my reseller today that from now on the DPS Professional Edition will only allow development of a single app. Is this correct?
Greg

The price gouging is really how you look at the product-- or more importantly what your client produces with DPS.
If you are a traditional magazine or periodical publisher. Chances are the the $4800 over a year is a drop in the bucket compared to traditional press costs (even factoring in the folio download fee). However, where I was getting the most intereset with DPS was from non-traditional publishers who were looking to essentially create their own newsstand or library. Lot of non-profits, associations and schools which have lower print runs and liked their content being able to live in an app. I have a feeling that in another year they will be looking for another option and I will be the one with egg on my face assuming no changes from Adobe. We charged a platform fee as well but it wasn't close to $4800 per App so for some it will be tough to swallow. Plus I'll have to go back to other companies who have had an interest and let them know of the news.
Don't know what is possible in terms of code with DPS and distribution channels. But I'd like to see unlimited multi-folio "free" apps remain with Professional Edition meaning you're not charging app, issue or subscription fees through the distribution channels...i.e. free app, free content (essentially current model without the ability to cahrge for apps) Then another Tier which would be "Professional Edition Profit" where you buy a single multi-folio license with the intent to sell content or the app (what the new model is proposed to be). Would have broader market reach, capture more clients and folio downloads.

Professional Edition Purchase Conditions

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding Professional Edition.
- If I purchase the Professional Edition, can I use it ramdomly, meaning, can I skip months without paying if I don´t need to upload a new .folio. Or is there a minimun period of time I have to purchase (maybe a year...) and pay every month in a row.
- How many .folio can I update. Each .folio stands for ONE magazine?
- How many times can one .folio be downloaded in the Professional Edition?
- The final cost would be USD 99 a year to Apple, and USD 495 a month to Adobe? Or is there another cost?
Thanks.

For multi-folio apps you’ll have a per download fee to Adobe of approximately $0.22.

Creative Cloud Membership Vs. Professional Edition DPS Subscription

Hello,
After reading the buying guide and going through many of the previous discussions in the forum, I just need to confirm a number of points
1- With Creative Cloud Membership - I can publish unlimited Single Issue apps without any extra cost, is that correct ?
2- Lets assume that after one year of Creative Cloud Membership, I do not renew (not my intention, but want to know), the Single Issue Apps will remain in the App Store, and those already published apps has nothing to do with my annual membership. is that correct ?
3-For the professional Edition, I can create unlimited Single Issue Apps, and unlimited Kiosk/Newstand apps, is that correct ?
4- Lets assume that with professional edition, I created 3 newsstand apps (multi issue), Are the download bundles purchased specific to the overall account ? or are they specific to each newsstand app ? or do I have the option to choose between those two options ?

1. No additional cost to Adobe. You still need an Apple Developer account for $99/year.
2. Correct
3. Correct.
4. Overall account and there's no other option, as far as I know.

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.

Agency Model for Professional Edition?

Someone from Adobe on an earlier post mentioned that when one has their own DPS Professional Edition subscription, they may create apps on behalf of other clients and then their clients may either choose you to host and sell their content with Apple or do it themselves. This is known to be the Agency Model and I was told, several times in fact, that this was not available for any edition of DPS except Enterprise Edition.
I would appreciate an official answer from Adobe on this matter. Thanks.

Lohrii Alo, do you work for Adobe?
First, I am the publisher of Focus Publishing. We publish Focus Magazine, Folios and Exposures as well as work with photographers who are looking to publish fine art books with high quality printing.
I've been working with Adobe products since '95 right before the PowerMacs came out. So I was working on Photoshop 3.0 with the old LCIII's. Anyway, about 8 months ago I was faced with a problem. Photographers want to have their work published and want to be paid for it. So I provided a solution to their problem using Adobe DPS; building an app for a photographer that would get their work out there and they would be paid off of sales of their app downloads.
The problem is that Apple absolutely refuses to publish anything e-book in its own app without a great deal of interactivity and even then, approval is still not guaranteed. The solution was to do what I'm already doing with Folios and Exposures: Create an entire fine art photography magazine revolving around their photography. Then, I offer the same solution to galleries who want to publish exhibition catalogues but can't afford the printing costs: Develop and sell a digital exhibition catalogue and sell it inside of the App Store.
So far, we only have one title that has been finished, but we're working on 4 others and have a lot of interest from other people. Everything is published under my Apple developer account (Focus Publishing). I have a 2 year agreement with the photographers that guarantees me not only their monthly payment but also that I will be the exclusive distributor of their content on any of the mobile device platforms as an app for the contract term. If they want to cancel - they can as long as they pay me for the remainder of the contract.
We share a DPS account with someone else, but it's only Professional Edition. I sure would like to have more of the bells and whistles that Enterprise Edition serves up, but I'm not there yet financially.
Anyway, as long as I am the one distributing their content, I don't see any problem with this business model if I'm expecting a percentage of sales.
The premise of your question is that the client actually wants to deal with Apple, Amazon, Android, etc. and DPS and wants to update the App when updates become available. Most people don't want to deal with that and want to actually only deal with their own business.

Professional Edition Pricing Question

OMG Adobe is really going off the rails here. I have a few general questions about the Professional Edition (Annual vs. Monthly) that NO ONE in Adobe Sales 800# could answer for me. I'm trying to sell the idea of a digial magazine to my print client, and I literally cannot do so without getting all the details tied down prior to my client meeting.
Basically I need to know what are the pros/cons to buying the Professional Edition Annual over the Monthly service?
Will I be able to access Omniture Analytics any time I wish for each Magazine I publish - regardless of Annual or Monthly subscriptions?
Also, if we purchase additional .folio downloads, do they expire after a certain period of time?
OMG - I will kiss the feet - send flowers - name my first born after whomever can answer these questions.

Hi,
Both DPS Pro Annual and DPS Pro Monthly are 'annual contracts'. It is not possible to sign-up for just a month and then terminate the contract. The main differences between the two
With Pro Monthly, you'll be billed (through your creditcard) per month -- this option is sold online through Adobe.com
With Pro Annually, you'll be billed for a full annual cycle (upfront - through a regular invoice) -- this option is sold through DPS resellers
There are a lot of companies who just want to use the regular 'invoice' cycle instead of going the creditcard route.
DPS Pro Monthly will include 250 folio downloads in the first contract
DPS Pro Annual will include 5000 folio downloads in the first contract
Additional folio packages can be downloaded (smallest being 10.000 downloads). These packages are pre-paid and valid for a year from the moment of purchase. The package becomes obsolete when it has reached "0" or the period of one year since purchase has passed (whichever comes first). It is possible to buy multiple packages at the same time, or multiple packages in a year.
The Analytics dashboard will be available for both DPS Pro offerings.
Feel free to reach out (in this conversation) or through a private message if you need additional info
With kind regards,

Professional Edition Month-by-Month

We are creating a digital magazine using Adobe's Publishing Suite. However, I have a question.
I want to create multi-folios under one magazine title so people can subscribe to the magazine. The professional edition offers that. But if I cancel my subscription and resubscribe later, can I continue creating folios under that title?
We are only releasing four editions of our magazine a year. So it doesn't make sense to purchase a full year's worth. So can I subscribe for a month, cancel my subscription, then resubscribe three months later and release a new folio (edition) under that same magazine title? Or do I lose access to my titles when I unsubscribe?
And when I unsubscribe, will my magazine/folios be taken off the app store?
We do have Creative Cloud if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

Its a shame there isn't a halfway house between single edition and Professional, over £300 per month is a barrier to entry for small design agencies that have maybe just a few clients that want a digital publication service. Its not a big cost if you have lots of clients regularly using it, but getting a step on the ladder is costly

Professional Edition Account for different customers

Suppose I'm a free-lance designer. Can I use my Professional Edition Account for publishing folios for different customers?

Download Bundle Fees is applicable to Publishers not end users.
Built in Single Issue Apps : No Download Fees.
Multi Issue Apps: Each download whether free or retail gets deducted from your folio download balance.
With DPS Pro Annual you get 5000 free downloads for the first year and with Pro Monthly Free 250 downloads per moth for the first year.
You can purchase additional folio bundles:
• Pricing starts at US$0.30/.folio file for 10,000-.folio bundle

Can i create a singol folio application for android with digital publishing professional edition?

hI, (sorry but i speak english a little bit).
I would like to create my application with professional edition because i wont see it on android device too but i need just a singol folio app.
i don't want a multifolio viewer, i need just a singol updatable app that start directly from the icon withouth no other number.
How can i do?
I see also that a lot of function are limited for android, are there some news?
Thanks a lot

You can't.
Even if the subscription app only has one folio in it, you have to
create it that way for Android. This requires a pro or enterprise
account and you'll have to pay for the downloads.

Cost per download in Professional Edition?
