DPS support for Kindle

Hello all,
I've tried to google for an answer and have come across different responses.
Does DPS have support for targeting the Kindle?
Thanks.

Thanks Neil. But isn't the Legacy AIR Android viewer going away at some
point?

Support for Kindle

Hi,
With the old Android app it is still possible to build for Kindle - even though users can't directly be charged for content. The new native app currently doesn't support Kindle. Is support for Kindle going end of life or can we expect to see Kindle being supported in the new app?

Hi,
There are no plans to add Kindle support back into the Native viewer.
Thanks,
Dave

DPS support for windows 8.1 and windows phone applications?

Does the latest version of DPS support development for apps on Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone or is there a roadmap for when this will be supported? It seemed like it was to be release by the end of 2013.

What do you mean by "ADP"?
All your Adobe rep will do is get you a custom viewer that you can submit to the store. You still have to publish the folios yourself to either the same account as your iOS folios, or to a different account (your choice). Remember that the Windows 8.1 viewer does not support Single Edition. It is only for professional or enterprise customers who are publishing multi-issue applications.
Our intention is to have all iPad folios render beautifully on Windows. The only overlays we don't currently support are pan and zoom, image sequence, and audio. If you don't use those overlays then you don't have to change your folios at all.
You can look at the Adobe Inspire app in Windows Store as an example. The folios there are the direct copy of the iPad folios, with no edits.

Support for iPod with Adobe DPS

Hello:
Is it possible to use DPS on an iPod Touch just like it is an iPhone? Maybe it works but the question goes if Adobe support this device.
Saludos,

For Single Edition, no. Single Edition is iPad only.
For multi-folio viewers, here's info from a help article: "The iPhone 3GS, 4, and 4S models as well as the iPod Touch (Generation 4 and later) are supported for DPS. The iPhone 3G is not supported."

Use different DPS accounts for iPad and Android versions of same app?

Hi there,
When creating an Android version of an iPad DPS app should the account used to create the content (the 'Title ID' in the DPS App Builder) be the same for both versions, or different? In the content viewer I know that iPad content will show up even on Android, so I'm thinking that the answer is probably no, but I haven't managed to find it mentioned in the Adobe docs.
Thanks,
Toby

It depends, but usually the answer is that you want to use a different account for iOS and Android. Not all features supported in the iOS viewer are supported in the Android viewer. For example, if you use panoramas or iOS-specific web views in your articles, you'll want to be able to use different content for the Android viewers. Search for "dps supported features" for a comparison chart.
I use different Application accounts for my apps. I use the Share/Copy feature to transfer the folios from the iOS account to the Android (or Windows) account. Then I delete the few articles that don't work well in the viewer and replace them with articles generated from different source files. That works well and doesn't require too much extra effort.
If you want to reduce the amount of letterboxing in Android viewers, you'll definitely want to use different accounts and use, for example, 1280x800 folios instead of 1024x768.

Flex mobile app for Kindle Fire? is it possible?

Hi, I read this in the kindle amazon developer faq, is it possible to develop Flex 4.6 mobile apps for Kindle fire? even thought it doesn't show up in the
list of devices?
any Gotcha's I need to look out for?
Is Adobe AIR pre-installed on Kindle Fire?
Yes, developers can publish Adobe AIR 3 applications for the Kindle Fire by packaging them as ‘captive runtime’ applications. However, these captive runtime applications will not support on-device debugging.
thanks,

Is Adobe DPS available for Android phone?

hi~
is Adobe DPS available for Android phone?
The app is not founded in googleplay..

I encountered the same issue. You (in theory) would simply update the APK file. Find the AndroidManifest.xml
right around line 42
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="false" android:normalScreens="false" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
change to
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
recompile, package, deploy.
NOTE: I have not been able to get this to actually work LIVE in the play store where I have had some success with actually putting it on my device. I can get the app store to say that it is compatabile on small/medium/large/xlarge screens, teasing me with joy prior to the error I get when I attempt to install that the item is "not properly signed". This could be something with the META_INF xml file, the version of JDK and apktools or jarsign I am using, I certainly dont know... yet, but after about 10+ hours I am fairly certain of one thing: Adobe does not want it working on small/medium screens.
(perhaps for good reason...)
If I do come up with a solution I will post. As perhaps a feature request, would be great to have the following in the App builder:
1- Advanced tab
A: allows us to manually enter the
android:versionCode="00000"
android:versionName="0.0.0.0.0"
B: allows us to change
<supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
values.

IBooks support for auxiliary content and linking?

I have a couple of questions for the iPad/iBooks owners out there that I hope can answer them for me. I'm in Canada, so I won't be getting an iPad for at least another month or more (also waiting for the 3G), and I don't have any readily available access to one to try for myself.
1) This is a bit technical, but I'll just come right out and ask it. How is iBooks support for auxiliary content (non-linear content documents, in ePub parlance)? Does it do anything special with it (pop-ups, tooltips, side bars, slide-out panels, etc...), or does it just ignore it and lump it in with the rest of the "real" content?
From a cursory glance, it looks like Microsoft has done something similar with their proprietary .LIT ebooks (which are apparently based roughly on the same specs as ePub, i.e. XHTML and CSS). But I get the feeling this functionality has gone the way of multi-angle DVDs, which is to say no one bothers with it.
2) And my next question comes from having tried various ePub readers on the iPhone. None, but Stanza seem to even get this remotely correct (some completely ignore them, some render them but don't do anything with them, and one attempts to do something with them but spits out errors). I have an ePub that uses footnotes heavily (in the dead-tree version they're footnotes, in the ePub they're essentially endnotes). The ePub in question doesn't have chapters, but it has been broken up into multiple chunks (multiple XHTML content documents behind the scenes). The footnotes are accomplished by linking (and back-linking) a la standard HTML hrefs between said chunks. I assume iBooks is Webkit-based and this isn't a problem at all (i.e. it's just like using a web browser in that regard)? Also, am I correct that there's no "back" button/function except in the TOC?
3) Based on all the PR and guided-tours, etc..., I presume iBooks strictly conforms to a paginated view? There's no scrolling layout/view, and by extension a way to do auto-scrolling?
4) How does text-to-speech work? Will it read the whole book, or does it only read, for instance, your current selection?
Thanks!

It isn't handled by the reader at all. It is handled by the ePUB generating application. Non-linear content, if included, is usually ordered as found, i.e., it uses a left-most, top-to-bottom ordering algorithm. This usually means it ends up at the end unless aligned to the left edge of the source document above the inline content or interspersed between other non-linear and linear segments if also included. To ensure content displays with associated text, it is normally anchored, inline, just before or just after the desired text. Some generating apps indicate an ability to perform left/right alignments with text wrapping around inline images but I have yet to personally try this.
You'll have to excuse my ignorance, Jon, but I barely understand anything you wrote just then. I've only been playing with ePubs for the last several days, so I still have a very limited understanding of the specs, and have only a small collection of samples (which are very simply constructed), so I don't know the full breadth of what's possible in ePub. For instance, in my example ePub, one content document ends at the end of a paragraph, and the next document begins at the start of the next paragraph.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my current understanding of "content documents" are that they're essentially XHTML pages, and the only reason they're broken up inside the container is either for semantic reasons, to reduce initial load times, or to support older readers. And basically a reader will load them sequentially when it comes time to display them (i.e. next chapter, via a link, etc...), assuming in the 'spine' section they're listed as being linear (either explicitly or by default).
The only examples I've seen where a particular 'itemref' has had its 'linear' attribute set to 'no' are things like covers and footnote sections (I believe the IDPF also uses the example of an answerkey in a textbook). I guess it's a two-fold question. I'm having a hard time envisioning what other elements in a book one would want to mark as non-linear. I guess things like a glossary, a table of illustrations, an index, etc... (i.e. stuff that's important to the book, but you wouldn't want to read linearly with the actual content of the book). I should point out I write Windows apps for a living, and have no understanding of how the publishing industry works, or what goes into the making, designing, or laying out a book.
And second, it seems the specs leave it completely up to the reading device to determine what it wants to do with these non-linear documents. Hence, why I asked how iBooks handles them.
You lost me when you started talking about edges, anchoring, and wrapping. To me, that sounds more like formatting decisions one would have to make inside an XHTML document. But I'm always open to being schooled on a subject.
I have an ePub that uses footnotes heavily (in the dead-tree version they're footnotes, in the ePub they're essentially endnotes).
I believe this is essentially correct. Since ePUB files have no defined pages, the footnotes become endnotes the the specific generating application determining if they display at the end of the book or at the end of the chapter. E.g., Since Adobe InDesign requires segments (cover page, title page, chapters, etc.) be generated as independent documents with are later assembled as a "book," I believe its "endnotes" automatically display at the end of the individual documents which make up the book while other applications use inline tags to break up a single "book" document into independent XHTML documents but place all "endnotes" at the end of the "book" rather than within each XHTML document created from the tagged segment where found in the main source document.
From what I've seen in the specs, it makes sense that, with the way the specs are at this time, the onus is on the generator to figure out how to use and where to put the footnotes. Without a standard way of defining them, there's no way for a reader device to know what it's looking at is a footnote or not.
I was just hoping in my heart of hearts that Apple had somehow solved the problem. After all, they were the ones throwing the word "magical" around when describing the iPad.
As a side note, would you know if iBooks properly supports the page-break-before and page-break-after CSS styles?
Based on all the PR and guided-tours, etc..., I presume iBooks strictly conforms to a paginated view? There's no scrolling layout/view, and by extension a way to do auto-scrolling?
I've not found a way to scroll but then I prefer paging through the document with a tap than continuously "swiping" and so have not looked all that hard.
Yeah, not a dealbreaker by any means. Just something I've started playing with on my iPhone reader, and have kinda started to enjoy. But I'll make sure not to get too comfortable with it now.
As for the text-to-speech (which I wouldn't use anyway), I guess it's using the VoiceOver APIs that Apple includes in the SDK(?), and, no, it won't automatically read a whole book for you, but it will read at most a page at a time. Apparently, this is their work-around for the same grief that Amazon got with the Kindle's speech feature.

Amazon Appstore Announces In-App Purchasing Service for Kindle Fire and Other Android Devices

A word of caution:
the Amazon Appstore checks for Kindle Fire support AFTER it accepts app updates. So a developer can unknowingly break KF support, and still get app updates accepted into the store!
Here is an e-mail I just sent to Amazon's KF team:
FYI, there is a significant loophole in your submission pipeline:
1) All my apps use Adobe AIR.
2) For the longest time, they were all compiled with AIR 2.7 so there was no problem. I got a bunch of downloads, including from Kindle Fire users.
3) A week ago, I updated most of my apps to AIR 3.1, and broke Kindle Fire support, without my realizing it, because I didn't know that the KF only supports AIR 2.7. Unfortunately, all the updates with broken KF support were accepted into the store!!!
4) Now I am getting users complaining that their apps no longer work on Kindle Fire.
What should have happened: NONE of the updates should have been accepted after it was realized by your review team that they broke Kindle Fire support, while previous versions worked fine on it and KF users downloaded them. Reviewing KF support separately, after the initial review/acceptance, is not a good process!
In any case, I have re-submitted all my apps with the release note 'Restored Kindle Fire support'. What I did was use 'captive runtime' for compiling all my AIR 3.1 apps, which normally means that the app will not require an external AIR runtime to function. Hopefully, this will work this time. If not, I am going to have to re-compile everything using AIR 2.7, which is a major drag since some of the features I depended on are part of AIR 3.1.

Installing DPS tools for Indesign CC error

Hi,
I'm trying to install DPS-tools for CC, while CS 6 is still on our Macs (School with CS6-students @home) and I get the error, your administrator is blokking upgrades.
While i'm logged in as admin on my computer.
Though Folio Builder works on CS6 but i can't update (the folio builder tools) it either.
We would prefer to teach folios etc. in CC.

Chatted with an Adobe-support-guy, its a print related issue, here's there number. 800 .....

Sam then it is likely the packages were modified to prevent this functionality. Please utilize the Creative Cloud Packager to create new deployment packages. You can find more details at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager.html.
