IOS Newsstand app, add support for .folio files

Hello!
We have an iOS Newsstand app to provide our issues to our clients, and we use a PDF reader.
We would like to add support for .folio files in the app, by using a folio reader in our app.
Searching around, I've only found the specifications for the .folio files and the Adobe Content Viewer app.
Is it possible to have some more specific information on how we can make something like the Adobe Content Viewer app that we can integrate in our app?
For example how we would parse the xml files, what views/controls to use (eg. UIWebview?) etc.
Thank you very much!

Neil let clear something:
- After the .folio specification became public (with license off course) the "This really isn't possible to do" is not truth.
I believe that what people need to know is that: "Are we allowed to build a viewer?" / "Does Adobe allow programmers to give it a go?"
Before March this wasn't allowed but since the spec became public we all hope (and I believe Adobe too) that this format will have an industry standard acceptance - like the PDF. In this case many people will try to create viewers, software, builders etc.
The DPS is a great platform but VERY EXPENSIVE. Companies around the world have developed and are in a position to develop great experiences and great apps. Sharing the .folio is big and this is what we need to clear - and not the number of staff working on the DPS Viewer.
Thank you in advanced.

Building ios Newsstand App with AS3 for iPad?

Hi,
How do I build an IOS newsstand App with AS3 for iPad? I will not need any updates for this app. It will be just a pdf magazine inside, same contents forever.
I cant find any tutorials/introduction on how to build this.
I get the idea on how to create normal ios App, but creating Newsstand App really confussed me.
Hope I can get a good start here
Help is appreciated!

Sorry I've been busy.
Have a look at this newsstand app tutorial that's in 2 parts. This is for native iOS however the packaging is the most important.

http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/29/at-newsstand-and-subscriptions/
The in-app subscription is something you're going to have to tackle. Are you selling this magazine on a subscription basis? If you are selling it, things can get tricky or possible. I'm not fluent on the latest in-app purchase integration or if there is any planned integration. A look on the ANE download page (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air.html) doesn't show any ANE support for it. You could google around for an ANE that supports in-app subscriptions of course.
Hope that helps.
Please be sure to read the entire 2 articles listed above. I realize they do not strictly have to do with Adobe but they do outline the process of getting an app on newsstand and it's just up to us as developers to translate tutorials like that into our world.

Please add support for MXF files created by Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio

We have a Hyperdeck Studio that records DNxHD220 files in a MXF wrapper. Right now it is not possible to import them into Premiere CS5.5.
It would be great if Adobe would add support for those files.

It's mostly users here in the forums. Here's how to get Adobe to listen.

How to add support for new file type.

Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
Thank you

Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

TouchSmart Photo App and Support for PNG files?

Please, somebody tell me that I'm crazy and that the TouchSmart Photo app really can be made to support PNG file types! If not, who designed this software!? Can't browse the network for content stored on an HP MediaSmart Server. Can't view PNG files in the Photo application. What else can't this software do!?

Hi ChrisT,
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4148...
Which is the software update page for my model. I see 10 items under Software Solutions, 8 of which are just video tutorial updates, not actual application updates (and none of those are for the Photo App). The two application updates are:
HP TouchSmart Recipe Box Application Update
HP Support Assistant Application Update
So, are you saying that PNG file types are supported in some versions of the Photo App and I don't have the correct version? Or in other words, what am I missing?
Cheers,
D

HT201071 Please add support for Hasselblad CFV-50

I just replaced my Hasselblad CFV-16 with the CFV-50, and now I have bad redish view only of my files both in Preview and Aperture.
Please add support for the file format from CFV-50, it's not a all new Digital Back (it's out since severals years now).
We can still convert files into DNG using Hasseblad tools and made the DNG file reconized by Preview and Aperture, but would like to be able to manage my original RAW files from Hasselblad in Aperture like I was used to do

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?
This is nuts!

You are not alone.
Actions speak louder than words, but Apple does manage to still distract many from what is self evident before them.
I am astonished by those who swear that non-existent features, or features that pre-exist the current version make Pages 5.2 a major upgrade.
An affect that does seem to wear off with familiarity, as each version of Pages 5 gets a boost in the App Store, only to see the disapproval rating surge back again.
Pages was always one of the top purchases in the App Store, now it doesn't even rate.

OS X support for offline files

Dear all,
I have a mixed environment of workstations running both OS X and Windows that connect to file shares hosted on Windows file servers. In order to be able to manage the storage space effectively, tape based archiving was implemented using Symantec's Enterprise Vault for File System Archiving. EV and many other archiving solutions use the Windows Offline file attribute to mark a file that has been archived off and install a filter driver into Windows so that archived files can be recalled directly from Windows Explorer without requiring additional software (this is also known as a reparse point). Please note that this is different from how Microsoft intended offline files to be used for synchronising between a roaming laptop and a network share (see KB 312717).
OS X does not have any support for offline files natively, both for how Microsoft intended it to be used and for use with archiving software as a reparse point. There are a couple of offerings on the market which add the required functionality to OS X, but recent updates to OS X have rendered these offerings non-functional:
10.6.7 - I understand that Apple replaced the SMB/CIFS modules with their own code. At this point, it no longer became possible to recall archived files using said software offerings, when connecting to a Windows file server via SMB. See Apple bug ID 10836961.
10.7.4 - a kernel update is included which means said software offerings are now not able to block the icon preview in Finder. The icon preview in Finder causes archived material to be recalled which we do not want it to do (imagine the problem when using tape as the archiving platform - this will cause a huge recall job on the tape drives)
This is going to cause significant difficulties as it effectively means that we can't use archiving with OS X to manage our storage costs.
I'm writing this as I'm hoping that someone will know of a product or solution that is able to work around the 2 difficulties noted above, or that someone from Apple is going to read this and realise that this is a serious problem. The ideal that is required is to add support for the offline files, in particular reparse points, directly into OS X.
Many thanks.
A frustrated storage engineer.

Hi Richard,
We are looking at file archiving here and have the same potential issues. We haven't evaluated this product, but it claims to solve the problem:

Is it possible to add support for new database type in Data Modeler?

Hi,
I see that Data Modeler v.4 supports different versions of Oracle, DB2 and MS SQL. Is it possible to add support for a new database family,
PostgreSQL for example? I hoped that RDBMS Site editor can do it, but so far I don't see any possibility to add XML files with metadata for a new RDBMS.
I did it previously for PowerDesigner were it is possible to add and modify definitions for new relational databases.
Thank you,
Sergei

Hi, everything in the "Quick Reference" section should be commented out with ;
You should change those settings further down in the php.ini file.
Example:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors = Off

Remember that Arch Arm is a different distribution, but we try to bend the rules and provide limited support for them. This may or may not be unique to Arch Arm, so you might try asking on their forums as well.

Color space support for png files

kindly suggesting :
color space support for png files, requiring the support (read/write) of the chunks: iCCP, cHRM, gAMA, sRGB

Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

I'm very excited about your MTS support!
Feature request: Slide show module support for video files...
Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
great job!!!
Max

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

How can I add support for JPEG 2000 to Final Cut Express?

How can I add support for JPEG 2000 to Final Cut Express 4? I need to export an .mov file in the JPEG2000 format but it is not available as a quicktime export option. Is this something that I can add via a quicktime .component? Would appreciate any insight anyone might have... Thank you.

I believe you need to purchase the QuickTime Pro key ($29.99 USD). Once you enter the registration number in System Preferences for QuickTime Player 7, it 'unlocks' several export features, including JPEG2000.
