DPS PDF articles

I tried contacting Adobe customer support, but no one seems to know anything in India.
I'm building a DPS document. I want all of my articles to be pdfs because then I have the option to pinch and zoom (where as with a jpg you don't). I have both vertical and horizontal layouts built in the same indesign document. However, when I go to publish to the Folio Builder as a pdf there is nothing on my horizontal layouts when I view it on the ipad. But when I export as a jpg, I can view both vertical and horizontal layouts on my ipad.
Any suggestions?

PDF Article Blur

Thank you to everyone who participates in this forum. It has really made a difference to me as I create my first dps app.
I have a question concerning the on-load blur and sharpen of pdf based articles on ipad (3).
I understand that this is expected behaviour, but I am experiencing delays of a much longer duration than 1-2 seconds. I have found no published apps that are anywhere near the lag I am experiencing. So I was wondering if the experience using Adobe Content Viewer might be different than after the app is actually published? I sure hope so!
If not, the lag is unacceptable. So short of using jpeg format, are there any suggestions for modifying? We have a large app (153MB) 14 articles with lots of MSO (most set to vector) and several in-app browser displays (html and pdf) plus 8 videos (1 per article). There is a lot of text, so PDF and vector give a much better experience if it weren't for the long blur.

In some cases, transparency effects create a longer load time in PDF articles. For the articles that experience exceptionally long load times, one option is to consider editing or removing the transparency effects.
Another option is to intersperse pages with memory-intensive overlays and static pages.
If these options don't work, using PNG articles instead of PDF avoids the load delay but frequently increases folio size (and pinch/zoom page is disabled).

Image Sequence | PDF-Article

Is there a way to keep one-finger-gestures work on an image sequence placed in an PDF-Article? I can't move to another page nor article if i try swiping in the image sequence area. The option to change picture by swiping is off.
Thanks.
Tools V24, Viewer App V24, CS6,

Is your image seq. covers the screen? Does your image seq. require some actions from the reader?
If its just animation with no interaction from the reader place an invisible button which point to an invisible MSO on top of everything.

Viewing PDF articles using Desktop Viewer

I know it is not possible (currently) to view pdf articles using the desktop viewer. Do any of the Adobe folks know if that ability will be available anytime soon? It's much faster to use the local desktop viewer during the design phase and its a bit of a disconnect that this is not supported. Thanks!

Problem viewing portrait dps folio article

I am using InDesign CC to create a dps app. After I downloaded the folio article to my Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad Air, the photo in the portrait is obscured so that only a corner is visible. In landscape, I can see the entire
photo. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your response. First, I did try the jpeg photo in another
folio article. It was OK in both portrait and landscape. However, in the
meantime, I went back to photoshop and resized the photo from 576x362 px to
724X480px Resolution 72 Resample Bicubic Smoother Enlargement. I placed it
on the original folio layout I had the problem with and increased the
portrait size to 651x816 px and the landscape size to 896x610 px. Then I
set the opacity to 85% and the blend mode to Luminosity. Precisely all the
steps I took for the problematic folio article. Finally I tested it on the
iPad Air and iPad3. Worked fine in both portrait and landscape on both
devices. My immediate problem is resolved. (Peter, thank you for your
'House' advice.)

DPS(PDF) on Content Viewer V24 for iPad

Hi all,
I created DPS Magazine Decmber issue (1024 x 768: Image = PDF),
and checked it(not published folo) on Content viewer v24(2.9.0.0.63929) for iPad.
I set Folio version: v22 on Folio Builder menu, because of my released viewer app is v22.
On iPad1, pinch-zoom works well, but text rendering doesn't work.
On iPad2, New iPad, pinch-zoom and text rendering work well.
My DPS Magazine Novermber issue, text rendering also doesn't work on v24 iPad1.
It worked well on v23 iPad1.
Is this a just problem of Content viewer v24(2.9.0.0.63929) for iPad?

I was able to replicate the issue and have reported this as a Bug. I'll update you directly when this is resolved.

ADOBE DPS - Viewing Article in the Cloud from Folio Builder

Hello Everyone
Learning DPS and using Indesign CC and uploaded my folio with articles to my Adobe viewer in the Cloud.
It is on show there in my library on my wife's iPad - BUT when I wish to download to view the file a dialogue box says 'It's ready to download but have to uodate my Adobe Content Viewer. There is also an icon at the base of the file with a page with strike through line on it.
Am on the latest Content Viewer and no update available - have signed in as me for the Adobe viewer too. I have no dialogue selection on Folio Builder that comes up to say PREVIEW ON MY DEVICE.
What have I missed to not be able to view and swipe the work I have done... Did I need to hard wire my mac to the ipad with a USB cable as I have heard (even though there is no USB port on this recent model?).
Any input would be welcome and thanks: Daz

This is noted at Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes:
With a recent July hot fix, updating the DPS Desktop Tools results in the "v32" viewer version mistakenly appearing in the Viewer Version pop-up menu. When creating a folio or editing folio properties, do not select v32—v32 folios are not compatible with the current v31 viewer apps. Instead, select v31 or earlier. (We recommend using the default v26 setting.)

PDF article threading in InDesign

Hi,
I would like to ask how can I produce a PDF in InDesign which already includes article threading.
Any inputs would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
- Henry S.

hi Michael,
can anyone tell me, if it is possible to start a InDesignScript as its own Thread? I want to start a script that downloads many Files form the Web, save them into a folder, and at the end load them into a InDesign-File, but while downloading, i don't want to block the InDesign-Application.
I think you can do this only in VisualBasic (PC) or AppleScript (Mac).

Pinch and zoom frame - incompatible with PDF article type?

Hi there,
If I want to have pinch and zoom within a frame (i.e. not whole page), will this not work when the article type is PDF? I've only managed to get this working for a JPG article so far.
Thanks,
Toby

I'm finding pinch and zoom tricky to implement, in general. The only way I have got it to work so far is by creating a new document, then doing as described here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS9293e1fb3b977c5c73657495129f66e490f-7f fe.html
I then added the article to my folio using the JPG type. However, this only worked the first time I updated the viewer, and then stopped working on all subsequent updates. It's still just a placed image, there's nothing else on the page.
I've also tried adding pinch and zoom functionality to an existing article (PDF type) and couldn't get this to work at all, however I was adding it to a multi-state object, which may have been complicating matters.

DPS -- Updating articles with alternate layout page.

I am working on some DPS stuff and ran into an interesting work around... But I'm not sure if is actually supposed to work.
I am building a single (_h) orientation folio with single orientation articles and wanted to have a "scratch page" to work on in my documents (just space to create artwork and link it to hidden areas in objects states so my writers didn't have to go digging through object states to edit pieces).
So I created an "Alternate Layout" in my pages panel and made it whatever size I wanted. When updating the article I was pleased to see that the Alternate page that I had created was not shown in Adobe Viewer on my iPad.
IS there anything flakey about this workaround? Others that have tried this same work around have been given errors when trying to update their articles in folio builder, and I have not yet received that "content generation" error. WHY?

@Dave – since baseline grid is a document preference and not a page or a spread preference, this is not possible.
What is possible, is to set an individual baseline grid per text frame.
Or you could try to set your baseline grid to a common factor for both layouts, if that is possible at all, but there could be unwanted side effects…
For DPS usage I do recommend not using the baseline grid altogether.
@Neil – "Baseline Grid" might be an InDesign-specific feature, but most DPS users will have to work around the fact, that it is not a page or spread property, if they are using InDesign CS6 with alternate layouts.
Adobe should change that in a future version.

PDF Article with HTML Animation

Hi all,
Is it possible to have a article in pdf format but have the HTML animation from Adobe edge appear in better resolution?
Currently to get the Animation to appear with transparent background I have to build the article as a JPG, PNG article.
Is this right?

Is it possible to have a article in pdf format but have the HTML animation from Adobe edge appear in better resolution?
u can have html animation inside pdf folio. Note web content overlays are not resampled which means when u zoom in ur animation will look pixelated.
Currently to get the Animation to appear with transparent background I have to build the article as a JPG, PNG article.
Does not matter as long as the original edge animation comes with transparent background.

Single Edition DPS adding articles, FEES?

If I publish a folio with my single edition through the cloud that has 5 articles, can I add 4 more articles to that same folio at a later date? And then add 2 more articles at another date? And if I can, do I just delete that folio and upload the new one? What would the workflow be to do this? and MOST IMPORTANT, what if any fees/costs are involved in doing this.
Would love an answer to this. Thanks everyone

You cannot add articles once your app is approved by Apple but yes can add articles even after publishing folio.There is no need to delete folio and can use same folio.
The workflow of DPS Single edition is different from other editions thus there is difference in publishing process. You can only publish as private and then you will have to export the Zip file from Folio producer which you already did as you wrote. Now that same zip has to be imported in Viewer Builder while building your custom viewer.
You need first use your Serial key to activate the build, then you can download the developer.ipa to test it on your iPad, remember that your Mobile provisioning file should have your iPad’s UDID added to make it work on your iPad. You can only use the serial key one, you would not be able to reset or make changes after you have used the key, thus for basic testing, use Adobe content viewer and use the serial key only on finalized content.
With Single Edition, you do not pay download fees. Download fees apply only to multi-issue apps created by Pro and Enterprise customers. Since the content is embedded inside the App, and Adobe does not host your folio or content. DPS Single Edition is 395$. That all you need to pay. You can also purchase CCM subscription in which you can build unlimited single issue apps.

Export Format In PDF Articles - Vector as default

I would like to request that 'Vector' be made the default (or an option allowed for users to change the default) for 'Export Format in PDF Artciles' in Slideshows and Scrollable Frames.
In my line of work - newspaper and magazine publishing - roughly 99.9% of Slideshows and precisely 100% of Scrollable Frames contain text and therefore *must* be set to Vector otherwise our pages look pants on a Retina display. It is troublesome and needlessly expensive for us to be changing Raster content to Vector over and over and over again. And over and over. And over and over.
We're finding that big scrolls and MSOs might be set to Vector in our templates but, after a bit of chopping, changing and copy-pasting on live pages by designers, they revert to Raster. Can you imagine how infuriating it would be if you applied a custom Swatch to an object, only to have it keep reverting to Black? Well, this is what it's like with the Raster business.
