Do you find the AdobeDPS pricing to be clear & simple & reasonable?

The information on the Single Edition and what it includes (ONLY IPAD) should be alot clearer on Adobes various websites and also within Creative Cloud and inside the ID-plugins on what actually happens to the pricetag as soon as you want to make a dumbed down iPhone edition in addition to an iPad edition.
I think there should be a possibility to purchase an iPhone/Kindle/whatever edition with a set price to the mix instead of forcing people into the expensive subscription based Professional Edition, which i guess alot of people really don´t need. I have clients that wants to test & see if there is a future in producing an iPad and an iPhone4/5-version. As the price is quite steep for a test and the fact that you also need a subscription in addition to upfront costs the choice is easy, there isnt going to be even a test...
Guess we gotta go for Mag+ or Appstudio or something else unless Adobes pricing model is going to change.
I find it really disapointing.
What do you think? Am I wrong? Is there a better solution out there? Have I misunderstood something about the renditions for iPad and iPhone into a multifolio?
I know Mag+ has a sollution and AppStudio (formerly PressRun, owned by Quark) has more reasonable pricing model.
Adobe give us some options please, so atleast people can try it out...

Thats ok John... Most advertising agencies in Norway and in the Scandinavian countries doesnt only work with "traditional" advertising. They generally do design, graphic identities, ads, social media, print&web and some also adverts for TV. Theyre not as specialized as in other countries i believe (both in a positive and negative way).
There could also be a different market sitution here. I believe theres a lot bigger market/more companies interrested in producing mags/corporate info/product catalogues than it is for making magazines containing ads with a subscription.
I hope that Adobe could introduce som sort of middle way for us wanting to produce "one off mags" for more devices than the iPad. Also considering that most people here has a smartphone with IOS or Android already, so it makes sense to tap into the growing mobile market. Android is growing fast even though theres currently more money to be made on the IOS-plattform 8:1 (read this nice article http://www.forbes.com/sites/darcytravlos/2012/08/22/five-reasons-why-google-android-versus -apple-ios-market-share-numbers-dont-matter/
Some other interresting numbers from Norway
In Norway 2012 - 61% had a smartphone in the beginning of 2012 (USA 44%). Arround 79% of the people between 18-29yrs old had one in Norway (most of these people doesnt care about paper and embraces the digital counterparts). In 2011 11% had a tablet, in beginning of 2012 this number was 29%. Wheres 2013 going to end up?
(http://www.medienorge.uib.no/?cat=statistikk&medium=it&aspekt=tilgang%20og%20bruk&queryID= 378&aspekt=nyheter)
Last year Google also reported a growth in mobile search at arround 400%. (http://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/insights/emea/)
If im going to predict whats going on for 2013, it will be the year where graphic designers, newspapers and magazines really will go digital on all plattforms. Print wil decline more. It will also be the year for responsive design and HTML5 (maybe DPS should produce more responsive designs?)
Sorry this wasn´t going to be this kind of discussion here on the Adobe forums (gotta get it out...). Anyway once again I think Adobe produces great tools, but as time goes by there isalot of nice solutions /alternatives to producing content where you don´t nececarily need to be a "designer" with skills in InDesign and DPS. Look at http://www.layergloss.com for instance (I haven´t tried it) but its producing apps online.
If we are going to be using InDesign and DPS in the future and be part of the digital (r)evolution we need a toolset do so, at prices/features that will let us, sooner rather than later. Otherwise it-consulting companies will take even more of these jobs away from us and perhaps lead to lost sales for Adobe (its a symbiosis going on between Adobe and designers).
I find that most people working with InDesign doesn´t really care wether they are producing for print, web or tablet, they just want to communicate something good for their clients regardless of plattform and physical state...
Lets hope they still can use a tool like InDesign which they both know and love, with DPS in the future too.

    Hello James!
    I do not have any ABAP Instance, only the JAVA one.
    Therefore the ABAP transactions are quite useless.
    The problem tables are created by people working on the CAF layer.
    They have developed and deployed some homemade applications and this is leftovers from their development in some kind of way.
    Anyone with any ideas?
    Could it be that (yet) some special Portal Dictionary Role needs to be asigned to the Administrator?

  • How do you find the difference in no. of days between 2 dates?

    How do you find the difference in no. of days between 2 dates ?

    There are 2 way to solve this: using java.util.GregorianCalendar or java.util.Date (like jesper1 suggested), depending what kind of solution You need:
            GregorianCalendar gc1 = new GregorianCalendar(2001, 01, 01, 23, 00, 00);
            GregorianCalendar gc2 = new GregorianCalendar(2001, 01, 03, 10, 00, 00);
            // 1st way using GregorianCalendar
            int diff1 = gc1.get(GregorianCalendar.DATE) - gc2.get(GregorianCalendar.DATE);
            System.out.println("Differnce: " + diff1);
            // 2nd way using Date
            int diff2 = (int)(gc1.getTime().getTime() - gc2.getTime().getTime()) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
            System.out.println("Differnce: " + diff2);Note: There are 2 days between the given dates, but exactly 1 day and 11 hours.
    The first solution returns "-2", the second returns "-1".

  • How would you find the pitch period of a sound signal?

    Hi
    I have a few questions and i would like if somebody could help me even with the smallest comment on this.
    How would someone be successfully estimate the pitch period (fundamental frequency) of a 5 second sound file?How would you successfully distinguish the voiced from the unvoiced parts and how would you make sure you dont mix voiced/unvoiced sections? Finally how can you find the exact points where the pitch is at its peak throughout the signal?
    Any help/comment/suggesion would be much appreciated

    Hello Madgreek,
    After some thought I think I may have come up with an algorithm for what we have discussed. Basically, you are interested in knowing the time intervals over which you can observe any given frequency in your signal. As you had suggested, you can examine small windows of your signal and perform FFTs on each of the small windows to determine what frequency content is contained in that window. By examining all of the windows, you will see when particular frequencies are prevalent in the original signal. You'd want to use the smallest allowable window to give you the most resolution, but one that is large enough to cover an entire period of the lowest frequency (so that you don't miss this frequency).
    I have attached an example program that performs this operation. The example performs this analysis on an array that represents audio data. I am basically performing multiple FFTs (for each window) and stacking these FFTs in time to form a 3D plot. By examining the 3D plot, I can then see when in time my frequencies of interest are at their peaks. Rather than graphing these plots, you may work out a different algorithm for programmatically determining and logging these peaks and times. I hope this is what you were looking for!

    How do you find the word count on MacBook, please?

    If you are trying to find word count in a Microsoft Word 2011 documemt, for instance, open the document and go to the Tools menu, selecting Word Count. In Apple's Pages application, open the document and look at the bottom of the page, near the left it will say "X Words" where X is the number.
    Best of luck.

    I've formatted my PC, how do you find the album you have bought in there on my account again?

    If you reformatted you disk, then you music was deleted.
    Apple only allows one download and advises that purchases are backed up.
    I guess you don't have a backup?
    If not you can recover purchased music from your iPod if you have one:

  • Anyone with issues did you find the plastic film?

    If you had heat problems with your MacBook or any odd stuff, did you find the thin clear film over the vents, if so did it fix your problems once removed?
    R

    not with mine and my friend one (white).
    If there is any, then it should be at least help the air flow and circulate better and that is mean lower temp.
    I believe that is a minor accident and not a widespread mistake during assembly line in china. Some casing that still covered with plastic film is passing through their quality control line without being noticed.
