Digital Publishing Suite and other tablet devises

Does the Digital Publishing Suite work for all tablet devises or just the apple iPad? I am an InDesign user for our State Education Department and am investigating ways of getting our content to all devises besides a computer screen. Thanks for any reply. I am rather new to Digital Publishing.

You can target iPad, iPhone, Android tablets, and Kindle Fire devices.

Digital Publishing Suite and CC

Just upgraded to Creative Cloud and attempting to access my Folio Builder via InDesign. I have attached screen shots of the errors I am receiving when I try to access folio builder and when I try to install the toolkit. I am unable to run any Updates because it is grayed out under Help via InDesign. Is there something I am missing? Please advise.

How much does the Digital Publishing Suite cost?

Digital Publishing Suite is available in both a Professional Edition and an Enterprise Edition. Pricing for the Professional Edition is based on a monthly Platform fee--which lets publishers access the Digital Publishing Suite and create apps for all of their titles and publications--as well as a small Service Fee for each publication downloaded by a reader. The Enterprise Edition is a custom, multiyear platform agreement that includes access to APIs for integrating back-end publishing services such as subscription management, print fulfillment, and e-commerce. For more info, see: http://www.adobe.com/products/digitalpublishingsuite/pricing/.

I don't know anything about Newsstand but I doubt that any Adobe software is required. Apple would probably prefer that you use iBooks Author. Usually these things are free (more or less) to publish and it is up to you to negotiate fees from readers. Read more here: https://developer.apple.com/newsstand/

Android and Digital Publishing Suite

When will I be able to use Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to create and deliver content to Android devices?

I was thinking of tablets as well as smartphones. And I should have said I wanted to do it via Creative Cloud. I am not clear what it is called in the Cloud. Is it still called Single Edition? What I was wondering was when support for Android devices might happen, but it seems that Adobe still don't want to commit to a time frame.

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)

Actually the original message was meant for Colin not Bob
I did find the answer to my own question... The Video Is OUTDATED and should be removed to avoid future confusion.
The new feature is "Scrollable Frame", located on the bottom of the Folio Overlay panel which allows for an effective slide out tray.
Colin's more recent video covers this.

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

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 storefronts 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 apps 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 moments 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 Porticos robust feature set without compromising their brands 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."
To see a sample of MEI Portico 2.0 in action, visit Adweek's new app at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adweek-magazine/id570229326?mt=8

Device Central vs. Digital Publishing Suite

Dreamweaver 5.5 has a utility named Device Central which appears to emulate the appearance of websites on tablet computers. Given this is true, what development resources would a purchase of Digital Publishing Suite gain me that I don't already have available with Device Central?

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that with Device Central you can only see how your app will fare on different platforms whereas DPS allows you to publish your content to distributors such as iTunes as well as manage additional features such as direct entitlement and subsciptions etc.
In short. DC is only for testing and local publishing. DPS is to move your content into the wild and distribute.
Happy to be corrected here.

Digital Publishing Suite

I work for a school district and we want to experiment with self publishing 21st century digital textbooks. The combination of InDesign and the Digital Publishing suite looks ideal. However we do not want to be locked into the Apple ecosystem. The goal of the project is openness and a proprietary system like Apple is the opposite ofopenness.
So for $40/month we can get the Creative Cloud and get everything we need EXCEPT we are locked in to the Apple system for tablets and smartphones or we can spend an additional $500 a month for the professional Digital Publish Suite.
That seems odd to spend $500 a month to publish to an open platform. Am I missing something or is there another way to go?
BTW we looked at eBooks but support for video is spotty at best on Android devices (are you listening Adobe Digital Editions?).

If you are only experimenting with digital publishing, you can build Android folios and view them through the Adobe Content Viewer without paying for distribution to the Google Play store.
Once you have built something that you actually want to distribute via the store, you will have to consider your licensing options, but until that live distribution is needed, there is nothing stopping you from experiementing with Android publishing.

Digital Publishing Suite - Professional, is the price correct even though CC member?

We already have an Adobe Creative Cloud account.
We have Digital Publishing Suite - Single Edition already but have now realised it is only possible to create ipad apps on there and not iphone apps.
As a company and as we already pay for an annual Creative Cloud membership, we want to know if the price of £400 odd per month would be correct if we were to look into purchasing the Professional Edition, as this pricing seems excessive considering.
Thanks

Hi I saw your question and reply and what frustrates me is that none of the replies outline the actual cost of producing something via the dps. I will give you and example.
I have a client that has been using Acrobat since 1992 to disribute documents. The same client has always been an Adobe advocate and now they wish to move from pdf files to an "App" I use the word app in quotes because it is essentially a magazine. They do not sell through the mag so no opportunity for in app purchases, they do not sell the mag as it is an information tol, they do however have video content that they wish to share. They have exciting articles that can be interspersed with slide shows etc...
However, imagine their surprise when like yourself, having paid for the design kit that to produce a magazine like this would cost the client a licence fee of $20,000 for upto 50,000 downloads if they are the publisher – and a whopping saving to me if I publish at a reduced cost of $10,000. Then there are my costs as a creative on top which some of my clients already find hard to swallow.
Now I might be wrong but taking the attitude that "Is that the right format for the client" is pretty crappy given that everyone from the age of 5 years old up knows how to and are using ipads and android devices.
Where is the middle ground?
pdf to send costs pittence but time.
html emailer a few cents per opened email
Adobe DPS "$kerching"
The sales chap then told me that if the client wanted a Mercedes but was unwilling to pay – tough really.
Now I have used Adobe software through Aldus Pagemaker in 1989 all the way through to the first version of InDesign. I encouraged the uptake of InDesign at several studios as a creative director ousting Quark because of their unreasonable prices. Now Adobe are doing just what Quark did. Why?
Given that we have all been led a merry dance and have been told that rich content and electronic formats are key to modern businesses I feel that Adobe have just given me a huge middle finger. Its like the rise of the internet all over. The promise of WYSIWYG which never materialised making it very hard for small businesses to ever get online unless it looked like something produced by a Microsoft Office techy.
And what about my charity clients? They would love to have their documents published onto the ipad "other tablets available" so are we just to ignore their cries for halp as they lanquish behind because the costs just dont add up?
Oh and once you have paid for the licence that only is for one client. So if you have 30 or so clients they would all have to foot the extra cost which by the way is an annual cost!!
Ok I am going on a bit now but you get the picture.
What the hell is going on? I am just dissapointed.

Digital Publishing Suite: many are confused by the term

Call me pedantic but I know that many people are confused by the term Digital Publishing Suite. This name describes an extension to InDesign CS5.5/CS5 that provides a set of authoring tools but it also identifies a completely separate subscription service that Adobe runs to hosts Apps. A distinction should be made between these two.
Also in this forum it would be useful to flag items that only pertain to subscribers. Bob’s announcement today that Viewer Builder 1.5 is available stated For DPS Subscribers Only which is useful, but often in threads it is not clear whether comments refer to those with a subscription or those without.
Also I urge Adobe to include a Feature Requests section on this Forum (like the prerelease) in order for Adobe to keep in touch with the needs of “real” users.

Hi Graham,
The DPS name covers the full range of applications and services as they are all intrinsically linked. The InDesign Folio Builder and overlay creator tools, are used to produce folios to be uploaded to Acrobat.com. The Folio Editor tools available through digitalpublishing.acrobat.com allow the user to reorganise these same folios, add and edit the metadata and, if they are a subscriber, publish these folios to the fulfillment server so that they can be download to the iPad/Android tablet/Playbook. The viewer builder exists for subscribers to create the iOS or Android apps their customers will use to download the folios from the fulfillment server.
I agree with you and Bob on the other points however, there does seem to be a lot of confusion about which elements are available with a standard Adobe ID and which require a subscription.
While we don't have a requests forum, we do have the [email protected] alias, which users can email to make us aware of issues, requests and obviously feedback.
Regards,
Alex

I would like to learn more about using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

I would like to learn more about using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. I really don't know much about it nor do I know anyone who uses it yet. Is it specifically for creating apps for tablets? What about smart phones? We sometimes produce PDF publications that are posted to our website. Can DPS be used to produce more interactive online publications? What is a .folio application? What platforms are .folio apps used on?

DPS currently supports iPads, iPhones, and Large and XLarge Android devices. You can start here to get basic information and watch a few videos:
