Help on DPS viewer app

Hi all, I'm completely new to the DPS world and publishing world in general. I'm a french iOS developer.
I need some help for a magazine publisher client.
First of all, my client wants an app on the iOS newstand and the Android Google play which is able to get the content of it's inDesign folios and display this content as rich content (meaning videos, sliders, nice looking navigation ...)
Second he wants to manage his already paper issue clients. Meaning that he wants to allow his clients who already paid for a subscription outside the app (paper subscription) to be able to re-download content inside the app freely.
And finally he wants the app to connect to several RSS feeds and display some news about the company and their job offers inside the app.
So my question is pretty simple  : is there a way we could include all of these features inside one adobe viewer app ? Or should we build our own app for both platforms (iOS/Android)? And if we do develop our own app (without using the viewer builder) is it possible to publish content to it via DPS ? and How ?
Not so simple finally
thx in advance
kakiman

hello,
for your requirements you would need a enterpise license, for all the features you would like to implement into the app, like custom storefront/library, itunes subscription, google play store and entitlement. additionaly you need an entitlement server which connects to
the already existing print subscriber database to provide the issues for free to thouse customers.
if you need some more information, please feel free to contact me with some details
at [email protected]
kind regards
Michael

  • DPS Viewer app crashes when entering the browse (thumbnail) mode

    Hi!
    We recently submitted a v.30 multifolio newsstand app for our magazine and published 2 free folios (v.26 and v.30). The app crashes (almost) every time the user hits the thumbnail view button or the scrubber. Same issues copied to a different account and viewed with another viewer app of the same version work fine. Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, with v31 dev app everything is fine. The only trouble is that it is not yet approved by Apple. They want a "Restore all purchases" button but it only appears after publishing a retail folio, whereas our magazine is free.

  • Help needed, DPS iPad app private distribution

    Hi all.
    I need some help. I have built a single edition iPad app that is a training manual that my client needs to distribute only to customers that have bought a training course. So the app needs to be distributed privately.
    Will this work if my client buys a volume purchasing programme ? Do I need to then buy an enterprise account in order to use the B2B distribution? Or is there any other way of getting the app to their customers without these?
    Look forward to hearing from any of you.
    Thanks
    Gavin

    Hi Gavin You need an enterprise account to distribute privately, unless you are happy using the adobe content viewer. No other way cheers Alistair

  • Audio problem with Edge animate CC 2014.1 oam files in DPS 32 (Viewer App in Ipad)

    Hi there team,
    I can hear no sounds in the Ipad viewer. I think the problem may be the last update of the Ipad viewer app. But not sure if the problem is with the last 2014.1 update of Edge.
    The animations work fine in Chrome with onclick but they dont'ty work in the Ipad with the ontouch commands. I also checked that the oam file contains the .mp3 in the media folder (Seems that Edge 2014.1 does this right).
    They are actions, not music in the background (I know there's an iOS limitation with this).
    Anyone with the same problem? Could you check if your projects work fine after the last updates?
    Thanks!
    Rubén.

    I have just found the same problem. I have an Adobe DPS article that uses Adobe edge that play audio when 'tapped', I built this before the CC 2014.1 update and that one works fine. I have created another article following the same process but using the updated version and the audio will not play.
    Both files are placed OAM files. Audio worked fine in the browser during testing.
    Please tell me this has not been removed as a feature!

  • Problems on viewing OEM with video on the Adobe viewer APP on ipad air 8.1 with EDGE ANIMATE CC 2014.1

    hi everyone
    i had this problems and i don't know if is for my fault or is something related to a bug
    i made an animation with a video ( i try it before just with an mp4, but later i add also the OGV in the same Group ) and one object , if you click on the object you launch a website link on a different windows and the video and the stage are in PAUSE, if you click again the video the video START.
    it's very simple and on the web preview ( and on the export for WEB package )  all works properly, but if i want to view by the Adobe content viewer APP on my connected ipad ( via indesign ) i'm not able to see the video i just see the poster image and the object ( with the working link, that launch a new tab in the APP),  but NOT the video in background!
    INDESIGN procedure
    In indesign i add the OEM on my page and launch via the folio overlay the preview on my connected ipad
    is not the first time i work with animation on DPS APP, and everytime all works good
    after quite a whole day on try different solutions but with the same result i hope in this forum to find help on solve this problem, from more experienced people than i
    thanks in advance

    but via IPAD ( SAFARI, CHROME and MERCURY) i didn't see the video, just the animation of the BUTTON  and the link if i click on it (not in Mercury), like in the content viewer.

  • Content Viewer app for iPad not logging in?

    I've checked all the boxes in troubleshooting this, they don't apply. Log in first via website, check, on both Windows Chrome and iPad Safari, still get Authentication Failed error with identical logon info from the Content Viewer app.
    Online chat help could only suggest that an Adobe server was having issues. The DPS portal currently reports no issues with the web Content Viewer, not sure that is the same thing as the iPad app. Maybe DPS folks just don't know about this one yet, and they've left the building for a week on holiday.
    Anyone here have any ideas? I'm not a DPS subscriber, and the app does not seem to require that, only an Adobe ID, which I created years ago and which is still working through the web. I need the content viewer for iPad to review work by people who are subscribers to DPS.
    Thanks for any help or perspective you can provide.

    On a computer, sign in to http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com and follow the prompts to verify your email account with DPS. You should then be able to sign in.

  • 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.)

  • Create a custom viewer app for the iPad and iPhone

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60c5dd08612e5ea7d27f-7ff f.html

    Okay, so just to clarify, once I build the viewer app (using the DPS App Builder) that I want to use with Apple products I submit it to Apple - without any folios? Then once I gain approval from Apple I will be given the proper information to publish folios to the app? May seem like a dumb question but the reason I ask this is because currently I cannot see any of the folios that I have created in the testing/developer app. - even though they have been uploaded to the folio producer and are listed as public and free. This is the part that is still "fuzzy" to me. When do I submit the viewer app for Apple consideration/approval?

  • Adobe Content Viewer app

    Hi  Guys I created my interactive document on Indesign 5.5 yesterday. I can  view it on my desktop 'Adobe Content Viewer'. Is there a way I can view  my document on the iPad without buying the expensive Adobe Digital  Publishing suite? I don't want to publish the document, I just want to text it on the iPad? When I log into adobe acrobat I can't organise the files, I can only view the workspace!? Also the 'Adobe Content Viewer app' keeps telling me it needs to be updated?? Can anybody help?

    Bob,
    I have been closely monitoring many threads here at DPS (and DPS Private Beta Forums) in the last few weeks, and yes I am new to this particular product group having only been in it since March.  But I wonder if there is some way that Adobe can be made aware of how serious this issue is with Builder and Viewer and tools "not lining up" with Apple.
    To keep putting this problem on Apple is somewhat of a shopworn technique (and I say this with all due respect.). Still, Apple commands fully 80+ % of the tablet market.  They are the big dog.
    Suggestions for the future:  Perhaps there will be a way to choose a tools/viewers workflow at startup -- or to put a bigger "red flag" before installing any update that is not yet supported by Apple.  Approaching this from the engineering side, you may have forgotten just how many disclaimer screens the average designer/production person faces every week!  Many of us don't read them carefully. (Richard Dreyfuss reads them).
    I have nothing but admiration for what Adobe software engineers are trying to do -- and these are nascent times to be sure.  But it certainly seems like this launch is going poorly.

  • Is it possible for another app to open a Viewer app?

    Is it possible for another app to 'link' to a Viewer app, thus having a button that opens the viewer app? A little bit like the Music app can open the itunes store app on the iPad. On iOS? On Android?
    Thanks in advance,
    Axel

    Hello Klaasjan,
    The reason I asked is because of the following text in the DPS Help file (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60c5dd08612e5ea7d27f-7ff f.html#WS9293e1fb3b977c5c4ecf75d71329315057c-8000):
    URL Scheme
    Specify the custom URL scheme that launches the Viewer app from Safari and other apps. This option is available only if you specify a subscription or entitlement option. To ensure uniqueness, Apple recommends that you use the reverse-DNS format (com.publisher.publication). For example, suppose you specify “com.sportspub.kayaking” as the URL scheme. If you embed a “com.sportspub.kayaking://” link on your webpage, clicking the link from the mobile browser opens the viewer app. For more information, see Apple’s developer website.
    That text seem to indicate that this only works if it's an (multi-issue) viewer with itunes subscription or entitlement. But if you are sure that it will work with any kind of viewer (even single-issue) I'm happy.
    But I guess this only work on iOS? The DPS help file doesn't mention this functionality for building Android viewers.
    Kind regards,
    Axel Henriksson

  • How to change Bundle ID in DPS Viewer Builder?

    Hi there,
    we're trying to publish our first ipad magazine app. as this is a one off mag we're just having a single edition app.
    but, we're having both a US and a UK edition with slightly differing content and thus two separate apps.
    we have managed to load the first app to apple (waiting review), although i am about 10% hopeful of it actually working—but the second app is causing problems.
    we have bought a second serial and loaded the exported folio producer zip to the viewer builder but when i check the bundle id it is the same as the other app.
    is there any way of changing this? is this because we only have the dps single edition. i am so confused here. i've spent a whole week trying to sort this out.
    please help if you can.
    thanks, Leon

    I thought i used separate ones.
    But with all the complications and confusion trying to load the second app i ended up issuing and subsequently revoking about 4 or 5 certificates.
    i guess it's possible that i accidentally used the same certs and mob provis profile for both apps.
    i've attached the certificates and mobile provisioning files we currently have.
    a problem occurs when i use the DPS Viewer Builder to enter the Distrib and Dev Mobileprovision files.
    I get an error saying "Bundle ID inside mobileprovision does not match the bundle ID used for the build which was....".

  • DPS Tips app updated for v19

    Apple approved the new version of the DPS Tips app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/digital-publishing-suite-tips/id436199090?mt=8
    Instead of simply updating the app, which is usually the easiest approach, I recommend that you remove DPS Tips and then install it from the App Store. Re-installing is especially important if you have an iPad 3. A current limitation prevents the high-resolution rendition folios from being available if the library has ever "noticed" the low-resolution folios, even if you haven't downloaded them. This issue should be fixed in one of the upcoming releases. If you're creating renditions for your folios, remember to publish both renditions before you notify users with a push. To be safe, the best approach is to publish the high-resolution rendition first.
    The DPS Tips has been approved for the Apple App Store and Android Market, though I haven't updated the Android content. Amazon still hasn't approved the app due to an in-app purchase issue. The Viewer Builder enables every viewer for IAPs, but Amazon recently began rejecting free apps like mine unless you set up IAPs. We're waiting to see if Amazon changes its approval policy or if we need to add an option to the Viewer Builder.
    Here are some changes I made to the app:
    * I added renditions by using one set of 1024x768 source files. If you have an iPad 3, the cover images in the library should include "2048x1536." If not, remove and re-install the app.
    * I divided the old overlays folio into two folios: one basic and one advanced. The advanced folio includes a few new articles and an updated article on pullout tabs. The new pop-up video article includes a rocket launch effect that's so cheesy not even my 8-year-old son liked it. Colin even asked me not to credit him for the video. I might have to revisit that example.
    * I added a new article to the Effects folio that includes an HTML5 scratch-off example. It links to a Cookbooks recipe where you can download and repurpose the HTML code.
    Here are some folio size stats. For some reason, the PDF files were relatively much larger than what I had seen in my testing.
    Folio Basics: iPad1 - 33 MB (PNG) / iPad3 - 47 MB (PDF)
    Overlay Basics: iPad1 - 50 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 90 MB (PDF)
    Advanced Overlays: iPad1 - 41 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 85 MB (PDF)
    Effects: iPad1 - 5 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 7 MB (PNG)
    Single Edition: iPad1- 4 MB (PNG) / iPad 3 - 12 MB (PDF)

    Hi,
    This is very interesting.  I'm not an expert but i could do almost all the steps, but i can not do the sign step.  i dont know where my release.keystore is.  i created a .key.p12 file, is it?
