DPS on iPad vertical swipe...

Hello all.
I’ve recently published my test DPS file [through DPS builder/Adobe CS6] to the test iPad which it appears all well and good as an icon... tap it and it launches the splash screen and the first page appears nice too. Swipe left, contents, swipe again [at a multi page article now] and the problem is: I have to literally swipe down perfectly centre of the iPad screen to access the content below. Any few pixels either side and it goes to the next article, again, where I have to swipe dead centre to go access the content on the pages below.
Its almost like that is two large hot spots either side of the screen with one area down the middle allowing users to swipe down... any help would be much appreciated. This is the first one I’ve developed to this stage.
Many thanks in advance.
James.

most likely you have enabled hot zones in your viewer.
See http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/create-custom-viewer-app-ipad.html
If you select this option, invisible hot zones appear on the left and right sides of every article (or page if the article scrolls only horizontally). Tapping a hot zone jumps to the next or previous article. Hot zones are especially useful for full-screen overlays, such as slideshows. Hot zones are enabled for both iPad and iPhone viewers.

Video format to play in iPad vertical ?

I made a movie in AfterEffects that I want to play on my iPad 2. I want it to fill the screen when I hold the iPad vertical. So, I made the movie 768 wide x 1024 high.
I exported from AfterEffects as ProRes 422, then took it into Compressor and exported as MPEG-4.
I managed to get it into my iTunes Library on my iMac.
I tried to sync it to my iPad 2, but iTunes on my iMac says "It was not copied to this iPad because it cannot be played on this iPad."
Anybody know how to just copy from iMac to iPad without going through iTunes?
Anybody know what format will work on iPad? The Apple web site lists mp4 and m4v, but I guess they didn't really mean that?
i Yi Yi !

Hello there,
Please tell the complete version of Captivate (help > about adobe captivate).
In which format have you published the output? Is it HTML 5 or MP4 Video format?
And, what kind of video is it? Is it recording done in captivate or have you inserted the video in ypur project?
Thanks.

DPS question: Is there any way to make certain articles vertical swipe only?

I have created a dps that is essentially a portfolio. On a certain page, I list clients. and when you tap on those clients it takes you to a different article, that show the work I did for the client. This article is horizontal swipe only. The problem is this: When my first page of my DPS is show, I can horizontal swipe to the first client or "next article in my DPS" . I want to only be able to get to those articles from clicking on the client. Is this possible?

You could put a full page MSO with nothing but navigation buttons in both state. Set it to swipe. That will keep the page from swiping horizontally.

How to delete a podcast on an iPad if swipe does not work?

Hi, I'd really appreciate your help regarding my problem.
I usually delete podcasts by swiping them from right to left and hitting the appearing delete button. It can be done either in Music/Video or in settings under the general/usage section. During the last download however the podcast froze in 'preparation' for download and was impossible to finish or to cancell as long as wireless was on, so I switched off the wireless and deleted it manually. It disappeared from the settings/general/usage menu, but remained as 'downloaded' in iTunes and Music lists. Swipe no longer reveals the delete button for it, and it takes space and can be fully played offline, although Music incorrectly shows that its length is only 3sec. Please advice on how to delete it?
Thank you in advance!

Did you try the other standard deleting method? Tap and hold down on the podcast icon until the X pops up? Tap the X to delete.
Have you tried rebooting the iPad to see if that helps you remove the podcast? Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears?

Single DPS on iPad only. But why?

Does Adobe have any plan in near future to allow Single DPS to be able to publish to other tablet platforms that iPad (at least Android)?
The market place is being invaded by other tablets as well and iPad will face a stiff competition real soon. As I will be publishing with DPS single only twice a year (top), where is the added value from my clients' perspective if their documents can be only viewed through iPad but not through other tablets?
With the amount of digital publishing per year that I'm about to do, there is no logic for me (and for my clients, as their document is free) to move unto Professional DPS.
The way I see this, allowing the Single DPS to be published only through iPad feels like you're ignoring the reality of the tablets market out there. Even if iPad holds the majority of the market share (for now), and only in North America at that.
Thanks in advance for answering.

IPad Air - swipe to read mail from lock screen doesn't work

Bought an iPad Air and have a small problem. When I try to swipe to read mail from lock screen, it won't go directly to the mail app itself. Can anyone help or tell me what the problem is??

Rather than post a reply to a thread which has been dormant for well over a year please start a new thread detailing your problem and any troublehooting steps you have taken.

DPS to iPad - Could someone clarify if this is correct please?

Hi All,
Is it possible I could pick someone's brains on this please? I think I've worked it out, just need to know if i have this right!
OK, here goes. I best start with what i intend to do. I shall be creating content for our local sales team on the road. So, first off, i don;t need to charge for content. This content (for now at least) wouldn't need a global audience so i don't need it available on either the apple or android store. So, in order for this to work, is the following procedure correct?
1) Content is created in Adobe indesign CS5.5. Type of content created are single page 'articles'. Each 'Article' has 100mb cap limit
2) 'Articles' are uploaded to Acrobat.com (Basic or Plus account for more than 1 published document) and assembled into 'folios' (2gb size limit on folio files?)
3) Access is assigned according to which Adobe ID's have been added to the sharing list (is there a limit to the amount of people you can share with?). Reciever of content would require a free adobe ID and the Adobe Content Viewer App (plus tablet device)
Apart from the learning curve of how to do what in Indesign, is the export process for what i intend to use it for correct?
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Kind regards
Scott

Hi Scott,
You are pretty much there.
1) Yes this is correct, you create an InDesign document, you can use either CS5 or 5.5. The pages contained within the document will be pages within your Article. If you want to have both a Portrait and Landscape version, shown when the iPad is rotated then you need to have two documents one containing landscape versions of your pages and the other containing portrait versions.
I usually create a folder named to match the Article name i.e. My Article, into that I save both documents naming them something like myarticle_h.indd, myarticle_v.indd, I also create two preview files, myarticle_h.jpg and myarticle_v.jpg and a "Table of Contents" preview file, this must be named tocPreview,png. If I have any associated files such as video or panoramas they go into an assets folder within the My Article folder.
In InDesign, after signing in to your Acrobat.com account via Folio Builder, you create a new Folio file using the builder. Once the folio is created it opens to the Article window and at this point I usually select Import from the dropdown menu and point to the folder, in this case My Article, that contains all my files.
Once the files are located and you select Okay the folio is built and uploaded to your Acrobat.com account.
2)Yes, in Acrobat.com they are refered to as workspaces. A free account can only contain one workspace at a time. A premium basic account can have 20 workspaces. I'm not sure if there is a limit on the size of a Folio/Workspace of 2gb perhaps someone else can advise on that.
If you want to share the Folio you can share it via the Folio Builder in InDesign by highlighting the Folio and selecting Share from the dropdown menu. Add the Acrobat.com email address of the people you want to give access to. Once you've done this you will see an icon with two people on it.
You can also share the workspace via the Acrobat.com dashboard as well.
3) Yes, but I'm pretty sure access is only available to those registered for an Acrobat.com account. You use the email address they used when registering, in some cases it may be the same as their Adobe ID. The reciever of the content has to have the Ipad, the Adobe Content Viewer app and the email address they registered with on Acrobat.com. Once they open the app and sign in the Folio will load with the word "FREE" in blue and a "Download" button.
As far as I know there isn't a limit on the number of people you can add to a share.

DPS for iPad, linking pages to/from a multi-page file

Hi Everyone!
I've been building an InDesign CS6 file for an iPad presentation, it contains video files, Edge Animate files, and more basic text and photos; there's 16 pages total so far. It is horizontal format only.
Now, there's a new page with 10 links, each is a link to a multi-page PDF article. I don't want the user to leave Adobe Content Viewer to view these documents. One solution I have is to convert each page to a JPEG, use the overlay feature to pan the image up and down to read it. A mini navigation will be built to jump from page to page or return to the originating link page. The problem is the user has to tap the image first to enable panning, not a big issue, but is not intuitive.
Is there another way I can display these pages while staying in the Content Viewer, keeping the iPad horizontal, and offering a "return" button to jump back to the originating page?

Thanks Bob, everything is in one folio, I'm going to give that a try. I've seen that solution in a video before but the whole folio/article definition and relationship is shaky in my head.
I haven't created article links before, for those that are reading this, the below video covers how to create the article links.

Can we make horizontal / vertical swipe layouts with the package "CS 6 Design & Web Premium" ?

At this moment I'm testing the package "CS6 Design & web premium" to check whether this package could be useful for me.
In the trial version of "creative suite 6 design & web premium", it's not possible to use the menu "Folio builder" > you need to get the required software first by clicking on "updates" in the menu "Help".
Unfortunately, I can't click on "updates". Is it because I'm using the trial version ?

The trial certainly allows updates. If it’s grayed out give it a few minutes.
And please post any DPS related questions in the DPS forum, not the InDesign forum.

Video files for DPS horizontal and vertical

My class built a DPS application last semester, it is heavy in video.
The students built the app in both teh H and V orientations.
When I upload to producer it seems to upload teh video twice once for the V and once for the V -- is there some way to get it so that both orientations used the same file?
I fear teh final folio will be massive in size becuase of all of the video content.
thanks,
Seth

I deleted my previous reply. If you use the same path for the assets shared between h and v versions, each shared asset is uploaded only once. This is true of alternate layouts in InDesign CS6, and I believe it's true for CS5/CS5.5 as well. That was the case in a quick test we did.

Mix native iOS development with Adobe DPS created iPad apps

Is it possible to mix programmtic elements into an app developed with the Adobe DPS tools?
Although one can hook up buttons and gestures for slide shows, as I've seen in some of the videos, I need to build a hybrid app where a section of the app hands control over to a native IOS built set of components.
I'm coming from the iOS development side of things, so I know little of the capabilities of a client's InDesign and DPS toolset, except that I haven't found resources to do anything beyond simple interactions within DPS.

No, you can't include native iOS components in a DPS publication. For extensibility people tend to write HTML5 content and include that in a web overlay.

Swipe left and swipe right not 'sticky' enough in DPS

I've found that when using the Swipe left and Swipe right function in tandem with DPS, the swiping action swipes away from the page. Any way to make the action 'stickier' so that it actually does what the action is set up to do and not swipe away from the page?
Thanks

Thanks for your replies Elaine and Neil. I'm referring to the 'swipeleft' and 'swiperight' actions within Edge. I'm attaching a screenshot (swipeleft and swiperight at bottom of list). The deal is...when I set up a button in Edge to swipe left or swipe right, my finger doesn't seem to 'catch' the button which cause the whole page in the app to swipe.
I was wondering if there is any js that can be written into Edge to help this.
Thanks,
Ian

HT201210 after 7.1 iPad update, my pad wont swip or input security passcode, and Siri is taking about every thing that is happening

After update the iPad is acting real strange in that Siri is talking about every thing happening on iPad and swip wont work. When I had Siri go to passcode input screen, the number never were recorded in the top dotes

Quickly, triple tap the Home button to disable accessibility features.

Dps avec contenu pour ipad et Android

Bonjour
J'aimerais créer un dps pour Ipad et Android avec le même contenu.
Suis-je obligé de créer des documents distincts avec leur format respectif
ou existe-t-il un moyen plus efficace.
merci pour votre aide
Ulysse

Non, il est plutôt conseillé de faire un seul document avec une première mise en page, ensuite de lui appliquer des règles de mise en page liquide, puis de créer une "Variante de mise en page" pour chaque format ciblé.
Il faut surtout savoir que sur iOS les folios doivent être nécessairement être au ratio 4/3, alors que sur Android peu importe le ratio les éventuelles différences sont comblées par des bandes noires (letterboxing).

Scrollable Frame issue on iPad 'Adobe Viewer'

I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue when previewing a folio with the iPad viewer.
The issue is when I have a full (or even part) page scrollable frame on a page and once I have vertically swiped/scrolled to the end of the scrollable frame, then the next vertical swipe seems to stick much more than usual and requires a much longer/sustained swipe to get it to move on to the next page.
This issue is only occuring when previewing a folio on the iPad viewer. It behaves as expected (short normal swipes) when previewed on the Desktop 'Content Viewer'. It also behaves as expected when simply previewing from the Folio Overlays panel – both on the Desktop viewer and iPad viewer. It also behaves if I import the article as PNG format into a folio, however I am requiring vector quality/display for this project so can't ignore the issue.
It also does not fix the issue to select 'raster' rather than 'vector' in export options within the 'scrollable frame' folio overlay panel.
My first thought was that maybe this is just a quirk of the iPad viewer, but the fact that the behaviour works in most other scenarios has me guessing. Maybe i am missing something somewhere which may explain this. I see the use of Scrollable Frames in this manner within many apps (in vector/PDF) without experiencing this issue, hence why I am leaning towards it being a quirk of the viewer when as a folio with a PDF scrollable frame.
I am using the latest viewers (Desktop and iPad app). The folio's tested trying to resolve this issue have been in both v26 and v27. Using InDesign CS6 on Mac. Same issue happens whether iPad is horizontal or vertical.
Please let me know if you need any further details on my setup or what i have been testing if that will help.
Thanks
Ross

i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload
