EPub format and pinch-and-zoom

Hello all,
  I'm curious if someone can tell me whether the pinch-and-zoom capability seen on the IPad is a function of the hardware, or is it something that needs to be dealt with in advance in the ePub document?
I wouldn't mind having images that a reader could zoom in on and that would be nice and sharp at some high-level zoom, but don't know if, or how, I can ensure that my book images will be sharp throughout. Any ideas or info will be appreciated.

I think it's hardware function. Email yourself a PDF or newsletter and go to an apple store and check your mail.

  • Can swipe and pinch to zoom functionality be used in creating an interactive pdf through indesign?

    A client is telling me that there is a way to add these functionalities to an existing indesign file but I cannot figure out how. They would like to have the exact same features that an iBook has, but on a standalone pdf. Is this possible through indesign, or do I need a 3rd party software? I did manage to speak to a company that does this, and all they told me was that they take the indesign file, which is a horizontal layout of a book, and add the swipe and zoom functionality that exactly mimics those of ibooks.

    Not in PDF. That sounds like DPS.

  • How do I create drag and pinch and zoom images in digital publishing?

    Here is exactly what I want to create IMAGE MANIPULATION - YouTube

    LN;
    I am importing scanned photos. I used Adjust... or Batch Change to set the proper origin dates for the photos. That set the correct Event date as you pointed out.
    But...Events do not sort by the origin date that I adjusted. Events show the origin date but do not sort on it. Events containing scanned and adjusted photos sort to the top of the list when sorting on Dates/Ascending; where the true oldest Events are shown. Only way to get Events with scanned photos in correct time sequence is to use Manual sort.
    This seems to be a programming bug in latest iPhoto. It worked to sort Events with scanned photos in earlier version.

  • Lost pinch and zoom!

    is there a problem when adding multiple stacks/articles in that when you select multiple you lose what type of file it should be ie PDF etc.
    reason I ask, is that pinch and zoom doesnt work using this work flow.
    I went back and created the single issue folio with content builder and that folio works
    yet more frustrations.....
    thanks for any help
    Cheers
    Alistair

    Hi Bob, no.
    I have 20 stacks/articles, most of which are static, so in Content builder I saved the folio as single issue, and in the drop down selected PDF as file type
    then using the latest content builder created an ipa, put on the ipad and pinch and zoom works as expected.
    Doing the same with the current and latest tools, and loading the stacks as multiple files, (with no way to select what type of file, pdf, jpg etc)
    saving out to an ipa, I lose pinch and zoom.
    just about to try adding the stacks one at a time, all 20 of them, deep joy!

  • Bug in PDF pinch and zoom?

    Hi, I have a big problem related the PDF pinch and zoom.
    When I try to make an article with 2 vertical pages each containing one imported PDF and 1 horizontal page contain two imported PDF, the result is a simple jpeg page with no pinch and zoom.
    The strange thing is that if in the same article I add more vertical and horizontal pages, the pinch and zoom works!
    I use the latest version of Folio builder and Folio Producer and, off course, I follow the normal steps: I choose PDF when I create an article, I use iPad and not Android and the PDF zooming is enabled in Viewer Builder.
    I need to have 2 vertical pages and 1 horizontal to adapt an a paper magazine (I know the DPS has not been made for this but my publisher want to publish all our magazine with this platform, we also have a magazine specifically designed for the DPS ). My "idea" is create a stack every two pages to allow rotation between pages remaining on the same pages and enable the horizontaly flow between "articles" but if the pdf are transformed in jpeg I can't proceed...
    It's a bug or I missed some step?
    Thanks in advance for your answers
    Claudio (from Italy, sorry for my english!)

    I think there might be a bug here.
    I've successfully created a pinch zoom folio using the sidecar.zip files posted by Klaasjan.
    However if I import my own article (_h and _v both set to iPad dimensions and containing a simple text field of text).
    If the article format is set to PDF, once created and I view the Properties panel, the Smooth Scrolling option is set to Horizintal only and greyed out so it cannot be changed. So no pinch/zoom is available.
    If the article format is set to Automatic, once created and I view the Properties panel, I can set the Smooth Scrolling property to Off (Snap to page) and tick the Horizintal Swipe Only checkbox (so I'm matching the setting of the sidecar examples).
    However, when I the Update the article to the Folio Producer and then check the article Properties again, the Smooth Scrolling has reverted to Horizontal Only. So again, no pinch zoom.

  • Pinch and zoom inside scrollPane

    How do I do zoom in the area where the Gesture is being done inside a scrollPane? Right now it just zooms in where the registration point is.
    Thanks,

    1.       The use of PDF graphic format with no interactivity will allow for pinch and zoom.
    2.       The beta program ended months ago.

  • Pinch and zoom with Content Viewer

    Question regarding the Content Viewer -- I noticed the pinch and zoom does not appear to work with DPS files viewed in the content viewer. Once the files are built for final and submitted, will there be pinch and zoom available or does DPS prevent that from being available on the iPad? Thanks.

    Pinch and zoom only works with pages created with PDF graphic format and with no interactivity.

  • Pinch and Zoom

    Trying to enable pinch and zoom for an entire folio page. Have looked extensively around the forums and it has resulted in a few questions.
    1. Any way to enable full page zoom in a folio page?
    2. Will the Adobe Content Bundler be available outside of beta?
    3. How do you bundle pages as PDFs without using the Adobe Content Bundler?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Pinch and zoom stop my hyperlinks working

    i have a folio that works well and navigates as it should, my customer requested pinch and zoom so i added it (my inDesign pages are all linked PDF files with hyperlinks on them so it was just a case of rebuiling the articles and Folio with the PDF format). Now the pinch and zoom work but all my hyperlinks are broken, any ideas, hopefully it is just a setting i need to change.
    i have both folios active in different acrobat.com accounts and i updated all my software 8th Feb 2012.
    I need to release this as an App ASAP through the DPS single edition but i don't want to pay for it until i know it will work.
    Cheers.

    Yes that is it - i have a few strange issues but i am solving them 1 by 1 and it is looking good now.
    Changes the mood of the conference call tomorrow.
    with any luck i will be able to submit it to Apple tomorrow.
    Thank you!!!!

  • Pinch and Zoom PDFs for phones and tablets

    Hi,
    I can pinch and zoom PDF files on my phone / tablet.
    However when doing this I would like the document to automatically reformat to fit the screen horizontally.
    This would enable me to read a PDF enlarged to a text size comfortable to me AND only have to scroll up and down and not left and right.
    I am partially sighted and the most frustrating thing when reading PDFs on a phone or tablet is the need to scroll right to carry on reading a page and then scroll back and then a little down and then right again and so on.
    Other APPS such as BBC NEWS when enlarged with pinching the screen autonatically reformat to fit as many words as possible horizontally. When I have a file in word format this is also possible for example email attachments that are word files.
    But PDFs appear to lack this very basic functionality.
    Can you help and make this a possibility for the future if PDFs are currently limited? Or can you please inform me of a method to acheive this now?
    Surely a bright spark at Adobe could make this happen and help all those people with short sightedness.
    Thank you

    This is generally not possible. Unless a PDF has been specifically created to be "accessible" and allows dynamic reformating, it will never change its appearance. The whole point of the PDF format is to retain appearance across different paltforms and devices, after all. It simply works different from HTML.

  • When is "PDF pinch and zoom" available on Android?

    I want to use "PDF pinch and zoom" on Android Deveice.
    When is "PDF pinch and zoom" available on Android?
    If it is available with next update, I'm very happy.

    Did you choose the PDF image format when you created the folio? Are you using the Adobe Content Viewer or a custom app to preview the content on your iPhone?
    Whoever told you to use v24 meant to say v24 or later. This applies only to older folio. If you're working with an older folio, go into folio properties and check the viewer version. If it's v20, change it to v26 or later, and then update the articles in the folio.

  • Basic step-by-step to create pinch and zoom articles for the ipad?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite. I'm converting a print publication into an ipad app for my employer.
    I've selected PDF in the "Default Image Format" when creating a new folio in Folio Builder. And ticked the PDF pinch and zoom box in viewer builder.
    However, I'm unable to get the pinch and zoom to work. Instead of zooming, a magnifying glass with a line through it pops up.
    Could it have something to do with the Indesign file's dimensions versus the dimesions set in Viewer Builder? I've tested multiple sizes for both, yet
    I'm unable to find what the trick is... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'm seeing the same problem on my end.  I select PDF as the image format when I upload the folio, but when I view it on the iPad the text looks pretty shoddy and I can't pinch and zoom.  I really don't care about the pinch-n-zoom so much, as I do with getting a better quality rendering of my text.
    I don't have smooth scrolling selected.
    Nevermind - I see what the problem was. 
    I had a single page folio, that was set to smooth scrolling as a defaul in the Folio Producer and it would not allow me to change it.  I added a second page to the folio, and suddenly I could turn smooth scrolling off.  Problem solved I guess?
    I'm sill not very happy with the way fonts are rendered on the iPad.  Maybe it will look better once the iPad3 with retina display is released.

  • Magic Track Pad with Lion 10.7 and Safari zoom aA vs Pinch to zoom

    Hi,
    I enjoy a Mac Mini (early 2009) hooked to a 50 inch plasma and surf from my couch, stream etc... We browse with Safari 5.X and enjoyed the new Magic Track Pad with Snow Leopard. You could zoom / scale Safari with Snow Leopard beautifully, with a pinch out on the trackpad, same function as aA option on the browser task bar.
    Now with Lion, the pinch to zoom feature zooms but doesn't scale the safari window the same way aA option used to.  In lion a pinch out to zoom in will push a significant part of the browser screen off / out of view.
    The aA option on the safari task bar scales the window, and keeps everything visible but larger, but now in Lion it is not available from the Magic Track Pad Gestures. The Button is still there on the browser but there is no option to access it from the track pad with a gesture.
    How can I revert to the old way of zooming / Scaling a Safari web page with my Magic track pad in Lion?
    Thanks,
    H

    You can see in that screenshot that a lot of browser.gesture.pinch prefs have an empty string as their value and thus won't have any effect.
    You can restore some zoom feature by modifying the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu.
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    You may want to toggle this pref (I don't know what effect this has):
    * browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>

  • Remote Desktop - Pinch and Zoom compatibility with Microsoft Access

    Hi guys, not sure which forum to place this into but here we go.
    We use Windows 8.1 tablets and RDP to a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Server, we can pinch and zoom with Office 2007 Excel, Word without issues.
    I would like to know if there is a list of programs that's compatible with pinch and zoom because it looks to me like Microsoft Access (2007 version) isn't compatible with pinch and zoom but I need proof for my IT manager.
    Can you tell me if I should be able to pinch and zoom a database windows within MS Access?

    Hi,
    As per my research there is no such description whether which program compatible with pinch and zoom but still as this seems more relate to tablet question. You can ask your comment over there for more perfect answering.
