DPS web viewer - distortion at foot of articles

I've created 2 web viewer versions of apps and on both, some articles show distortion at the bottom (see pic below).
This happens on some articles but no others. Can someone provide a solution please?
Thanks

This is a known bug, we're working to fix it in the next release. Is your article (by chance) smooth scrolling but the length is not a multiple of 1024 (portrait mode) or 768 (landscape mode)?

DPS Web Viewer

I have a question regarding the v27 update.
Posted from the whats new section: "In the web viewer, articles that have an article access state set to "Free" in Folio Producer can now be viewed in the desktop web viewer without counting against the paywall threshold." does this mean that as long as an article is set to free, we will not be charged for the viewing of this article?
can someone explain this in laymans terms.
thank you.

This refers to the paywall threshold that the publisher sets up for their customers, not the download counts that Adobe charges publishers.
Publishers can use the Folio Producer to set articles to Free, Metered, or Protected. In the Account Admin tool, they can set a threshold to limit the number of metered articles that each customer can view in web viewer. For example, if the threshold is set to 3, the customer can view 3 metered articles, and browsing to the fourth metered article displays a paywall message. In v26, both free and metered articles counted against the threshold. In v27, only metered articles count against it.

Adobe DPS Web Viewer - Issues

for some reason our free app is having issues being accessed with the web viewer. The folio was published as free, but when we try to share the article it just brings us to our website. We have published this folio the same way we have published all other folios.
Anyone got any suggestions.
thanks.

What version is the app?
Perhaps you can reply offline and let me know which publication you're referring to, what issue and what article?
I suspect that you might have a web rendition available. Also, is www.ourwebsite.com specified in your account settings as the hosting URL, the redirect URL or the Fulfillment level reached URL , and/or the paywall button URL

Using the DPS Web Viewer "Web Viewer Only" option

upon investigation of the folio producer page, I noticed that there is a check box option for "Web Viewer Only". Can anyone explain how this option works? or where there is some documentation regarding how to use this option?
thanks.

Hi Neil,
I have read that article. I just am not sure if you have to "create" 2 separate folios. 1 for the "tablet device" and 1 to be accessed on the web.
I ask because you mentioned this: "In most situations you can just ignore it and publish an iPad rendition that will automatically get used for the web"
Thats where it gets confusing, I don't know if the ipad version will just automatically show up for the web viewer once that option is clicked. Without creating 2 folios. 1 for tablet. 1 for web viewer.
Ryan.

DPS Web Viewer SSL Support

Hello,
at this moment Adove Web Viewer does not support SSL.
Is Adobe working to support SSL in the near future?
Background:
We are planning to switch the whole website to SSL. Our problem is that an embedded Web Viewer call (iframe) within a ssl encrypted site won't work.
Thank you

Adobe DPS web viewer functionality...

Not sure if anyone has done this - but is there a way of showing folios online... a bit like this:
For this example, the user does not have an iPad. But is provided with Sign-in credentials to view secure content from DPS.
• User visits a site with an iFrame embedded with the Web Content Viewer utilised - with the folios displayed as per an iPad library (horizontal view)
• User can view all folios online, and tap through to see all pages in each folio, and return back to the 'library'
• User can only access the folios through secure sign-in - i.e.: content is sensitive and require secure access
• All other functionality applies - object states, scrollable frames, video, audio etc.
Is this possible? I would hope it is...!
Thanks.

Without a DPS license the answer is no. With a DPS license, Professional or Enterprise, the answer is yes.
You'll need to use the Content Viewer for web only option in Folio Producer. Here's the help link Embedding web viewer content in your web page | Adobe Developer Connection. Also, you will need to use social sharing Integrating Social Sharing into DPS Apps | Adobe Developer Connection

Web Viewer - getting buttons to open in a new tab or window

I am trying to get a button to open in a new tab or window in the DPS web viewer.
The options when creating a button are:
Open link in folio
Open link in device browser
Both which do not work when we export the web viewer.
I know it is possible as Adobe are using this function for their Inspire magazine. This does not seem to be html either that they are using. See link here - at the bottom of the page: Adobe Inspire Magazine October 2014: The Truth in a Face
Any help with this issue would be highly appreciated.

There is a parameter on creating the iFrame called externalLinksOpen. They can set it to 'window', as it defaults to inline, which opens it in the current window. It's documented here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/classes /FrameService.html#method_createFrame
There is also a demo linked from our 'What's New' section under 'External Link for Embedded Viewer' at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/modules /What's%20New.html.

Viewing and purchasing on Desktop / Web Viewer Question.

I understand that if you share free content via your iOS app it can be viewed in a browser (with some features missing like swiping of images .)
My question is this....
I have a Professional account... Can a person purchase the magazine and view the whole magazine via a Desktop computer with the DPS Web Viewer? Or its only limited to free content on your web browser but they have to have a iPad to view the whole mag? Do they get full access on the desktop if they purchase.
Thanks
Ron

For a professional customers, only the free content that was shared can be viewed on the web viewer/desktop. For enterprise customers, restricted content can be accessed via entitlement using the Content Viewer for Web SDK

Only allow employees to access article on Adobe web viewer

I have an article that is on http://contentviewer.adobe.com. If I set the article to Free, then
everyone can access to the magazine. I would like to have this article access by company employees only.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
Thanks in advance,

I believe you can do this if you do a custom web viewer with direct entitlement to restrict access to the content. This is an DPS Enterprise feature.

Preview a shared unprotected article in Web Viewer?

I want to create my app to “Enable Web Viewer”, have many unprotected articles, and no paywall enabled. I want to use email, twitter and copy link sharing so that many non-iPad users can view my content via a browser. Can I do this? (Understanding of course that I will be charged for downloads based on the formulas outlined.)
How can I test this before making the certificates, product ID and hitting publish? I want to see the user experience in the browser to see what overlays work and don’t work. Since the tools to make these choices are in the DPS Viewer Builder process, I couldn’t figure out a way to “preview” this.
Is there a way? Am I making this more complicated than it actually is?
I’m using CS5.5 for Mac, DPS Release 21, Enterprise Edition
Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can enable Web Viewer with email, twitter, and copy link sharing. If you're using v21, you need to create a 1024x768 folio using either PNG or JPG image format (not PDF). With v21, sharing articles from an iPad 3 doesn't work well in Web Viewer. With the upcoming v22 release, there will be better support for handling renditions, so you might want to hold off for a couple of weeks and test social sharing when v22 is available. (With the v23 release, it shouldn't be necessary to create a PNG/JPG folio -- any PDF folio will be uploaded to the Web Viewer server as PNG.)
You can't test social sharing on your own content without using Viewer Builder to create a development app. You can test other apps that enable social sharing, such as Backpacker and DPS Tips. Unfortunately, for the DPS Tips app, I set a low paywall for demo purposes, so it's difficult to test multiple articles.
You can read more about social sharing and its current limitations here:

Web Viewer for an app

It looks like a web viewer exists. How can I direct a client/consumer to download and view the published app on a desktop?

If you have enabled social sharing in your DPS app, anyone browsing your article can share on social sharing sites. Whoever clicks on that shared link on a desktop browser from social sharing site will be able to view the same article on thier desktop browser (called web viewer)

Web viewer issues

Help! I've set up my account so there is a web viewer version of our magazine. I've enabled the web viewer in DPS account administration, published a web only version of our magazine, constructed the web viewer parameter with the intention of embedding the iframe in our website. I tried embedding the viewer in the sample files provided in this article - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/embedded-web-viewer.html without luck. I can live without embedding the web viewer for now. I just want to view the publication in a browser to see if it's working. For the life of me, I can't figure out what the url would be to view the un-embedded content viewer?
Why does Adobe not mention a url anywhere in their guides so you can view your web publication? They walk you through creating the parameter, but never reveal the first part of the url. I'm guessing the url is - http://contentviewer.adobe.com/ with your individual web viewer parameter attached. I only found the url by locating the lone example of a web content viewer on the site and using the url - http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/OHSU%20Extra/b58273a80e044872af6f3d626b8432a3/OHSU%20Extr a%20Spring/Extra%20Spring%202013%20Simulation.html#lastPage
My content viewer is not showing up using http://contentviewer.adobe.com/my%parameter
Not sure where to go from here? Are there any common roadblocks when a web viewer? Anything I could have missed?
Thanks

What version is the app?
Perhaps you can reply offline and let me know which publication you're referring to, what issue and what article?
I suspect that you might have a web rendition available. Also, is www.ourwebsite.com specified in your account settings as the hosting URL, the redirect URL or the Fulfillment level reached URL , and/or the paywall button URL

Web viewer update

When can we expect an update of the web viewer?
The content displayed is not responsive and is therefore not useable on most small screens

The v29 release introduced a couple of bugs that's most likely affecting you. These issues should be resolved within the next day or two.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/release-note/dps-bug-fix-release-notes.htm l
Known issues with web viewer
Some scrollable frames in web viewer are no longer working properly with the v29 release. This issue is under investigation.
Social Sharing is not working properly for v27 and v28 apps for folios published after the release of v29.
Smooth Scrolling articles in web viewer may not display properly on the last page if the length of the smooth scrolling article is not an exact multiple of the folio height. For example, the last page of a 1024x2000 article may be cropped, but a 1024x1536 (2 times the height) or a 1024x2304 (3 times the height) should display fine. The issue is especially common in portrait orientation.
TOC images larger than 70x70 are being cropped instead of scaled.

Can I create a web-viewer only app?

I have previously created an iPad Newsstand magazine/app, with a web viewer link also embedded into our website for non iPad users.
I have now been tasked with creating a mini interactive mag with a very quick turnaround - so possibly not feasible to get done and pass Apple compliance in the deadline given. Is it possible to create a web viewer only version of the app in the first instance, without going through Apple process. Enterprise-signed not an option as would require to be hosted on a public website.
From everything I've read so far, I don't think this is possible - but thought I'd put it out there before I give the powers-that-be a definitive "no" :-)
I have enterprise DPS license, and Apple developer and enterprise licenses too
Any input welcome
Many thanks
SK

Hi Neil, photoburst
Thanks for your replies. It might be academic now as timeframes/workload have made this project unfeasible - however, for future reference, can you confirm the method for doing this?
Am I correct in thinking that, once I have created an Adobe ID for the publication, I would go to Application Accounts, omit completion of the Store Settings & Device Viewer sections and just configure the Application Accounts - Content Viewer for Web section - then provide my web programmer with the appropriate web viewer parameter and Account ID?
(I have read http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/embedded-web-viewer.html)

Web Viewer-only renditions for Creative Cloud Subscribers using v26

Hi does anyone know if it is possible, or will be possible to create Web Viewer-only renditions if you are a Creative Cloud / Single edition DPS user using the latest v26 build?
Most articles don't clairify which membership option their instructions pertain to. -Thanks!

Creative Cloud / Single Edition customers don't have access to the web viewer at all, so the web viewer only rendition feature isn't applicable.
Neil
