Is "No Single Folio for iphone" a missed opportunity for designers and Adobe?

We have a client that is interested in a single folio app, and others in our agency that would love to sell clients on publishing their free material to both the ipad and the iphone, but the cost of the downloads is too great a hurdle. I have contacted adobe for custom pricing (please contact a rep if you have questions regarding prices) and the cost is still monumental for publishing to this platform for free applications. If an app from DPS where to become popular it could easily cost as much as doing a native app.
Does anyone else think there needs to be an additional pricing tier for things like free catalogs where we are not able to charge for the app? I love the tool-set and would love to be in the middle of this new push for the tablet but my current project is headed back to the interactive group.

Hey Bob, I enjoy your replies, very helpful.
I guess business ethics should be enough to prevent a company from switching, to a paid version later. The threat of a fine, lawsuite, takedown, or really now days - being called out for cheating another company publicly may be enough of a deterrent. And if that's not enough, I would think there would be a technical mechanisium to either track or prevent that switch.
If they charged the same price as they do now for Pro but with a quarter of the Folios (250), and then there were some higher more exspensive teirs I would think they could make the money on the front end rather than the back end. Clients cant budget for an unknown like downloads but they can budget upfront costs.
The point is, if the solution is more afforadable will it be used more? My clients can't justify the unknown costs, therefore I wont be paying Adobe for their Pro service. Doing some searching of the web brings up similar compiants. This is simply my feedback to try to change the system.
Thanks.

  • Renditions or Single Folio for Native Android?

    I am not sure what the best strategy is for native Android folios. Should I build a single folio at 1280x800 or renditions at 1280x800, 1920x1200, and 2560x1600 as described in Digital Publishing Suite Help | Setting up renditions for native Android viewers?
    Do I need three sizes of graphics (as describe in the Android developers docs) if I use the renditions?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    It doesn't matter what size graphics you use. We will resample them to 108ppi for the folio size you pick. 1280x800 is a fine size to use for Android.

  • Security Approach and Plan for single logon for Essbase and Reports.

    Please any one can suggest me, how can I do the Security Approach and Plan for single logon for Essbase and Reports by using Maxl or Administrator.If any one have code,please forward to my email Id: [email protected]

    Once you are logged in to the "Hyperion Portal" as you call it, your user credentials are automatically passed among all the components. Therefore, a lot of the logic you created to pass credentials between BQY files in a desktop environment are no longer needed.

  • Single URL for internal and external CRM access when using IFD

    Hello,
    At one of our client site I have setup IFD on CRM 2011. This IFD is behind TMG. My client is a big corporation therefore all CRM components including CRM, ADFS and SQL are on separate servers.
    I have configured IFD using single url https://orgname.contoso.com Their IT staff wants to know why can't they use single URL for internal and external access where internal users are nto prompted for authentication
    when logging on to the CRM server. I know you can do URL re-write in ADFS but they want to know the reason "why internal users can't use the same IFD URL and don't get prompted for their credentials". Text below is from their IT staff.

    There are several approaches to your question.  You need to set up both an internal and an external relying party trust. If you use the external URL, it will always direct you to the signin page, if you use the internal URL, it will resolve you single
    sign on.
    I've configured IFD for CRM multiple times, and this is how it works. CRM looks at the URL. If you use the external URL (org.domain.com), it will prompt for credentials. So what you are asking for, a single URL that works single sign on internally and prompts
    externally really isn't possible.
    What I recommend is:
    1. make the external URL available internally
    2. Configure all outlook clients against the external URL, that way you won't have to reconfigure when someone goes internal to external
    3. Have users who are primarily internal use the internal URL for the web client, which will resolve single sign on
    4. Have users who are primarily external use the external URL for the web client
    For #1, since you only need to enter the credentials when you first configure CRM, it is in all effects single sign on.
    One thing I haven't tried that may work is using IIS redirect internally to redirect the external URL to the internal URL. There is also a powershell script in the IFD guide that you can use to make the outlook client switch between the internal and external
    URL's, but nothing that will give you a single URL that works as the internal relying party trust when internal and the external relying party trust when you are external.

  • An Important AS3-based Multi-Platform Framework for Developers and Adobe

    Hello to all developers and to all representatives at Adobe!
    We're all fortunate for Adobe's progressive thinking and their immensely helpful programs to battle against device fragmentation.  In order to advance our efforts, we, as developers, must also permit our creative juices to flow to allow the cup of opportunity to runneth over -- not just for our and Adobe's benefit, but for the benefit of businesses and consumers who demand innovation.
    There are, however, barries in the shape of human form that deter potential developers, businesses, and consumers from embracing and capitalizing on such a powerful platform.  These obstructions aren't only coming from behind walled gardens; unfortunately, they're entrenched within our own camp.
    Ignoring rules of optimization and taking careless shortcuts, combined with not possessing an optimized and simplified alternative to targeting a wide range of browers and devices in one fell swoop, are the ammunition needed for skeptics to plant seeds of doubt about such a useful and future-proof ecosystem.
    Much like any platform and object-oriented programming language, the Flash Platform and ActionScript 3 are powerful weapons that must be wielded with responsiblity, or risk creating wounds that, in the minds of consumers, aren't easily healed.
    And since this is OUR responsibility, I've decided to take on that burden...which then became a challenge...which soon became the innovative answer we so deperately need.
    As an offering to my fellow developers, and as a proposal to Adobe -- the company in which I'm devoted to -- I've created an OOP-based framework that simplifies the process of developing optimized applications that cover a broad spectrum of browsers and devices.
    It's called Cross Model View Controller™, or XMVC™ for short, and it offers the following features:
    -Imagine using one base source code -- which you build just once -- to target a multitude of platforms: from smartphones and tablets, to desktops and browsers, and even to smart televisions.
    -Your concrete View classes determine the layout of components and animations for each targeted device; once your base classes are built, your concrete View classes are the ONLY classes that require alteration (see diagram).
    -Utilize the flexibility of the XMVC UI Components to work across ALL devices and browsers.  You simply specify the platform type (mobile, desktop, browser, or television) in the concrete view classes, and the XMVC UI Components do the rest.
         Example: The XMVC Container (which holds child elements and incorporates scrolling): When set to "mobile," it incorporates touch scrolling; when set to "desktop" or "browser," it incorporates a scroll bar; when set to "television," its scrolling is controlled by remote control directional events, as well as incorporates virtual directional buttons.  And this is all from ONE instance of the XMVC Container component; this eliminates switching out various types of containers for each targeted device.
    -Animations are created using Greensock's TweenMax platform, for lightweight, optimized animations.
    -For complete orientation control, you can assign custom animations for orientation changes.  It even incorporates an Upside Down view for Android devices.
    -You can allow users the preference of turning animations on or off, with a flip of a switch (litteraly).
    -XMVC automatically removes event listeners for better Garbage Collection processing.
    -XMVC accepts various data structures, including XML, PHP/AMFPHP with SQL, SAP, and HTTP Web Services.  It would be incredibly beneficial to allow incorporation of ColdFusion, LiveCycle Data Services, and BlazeDS data structures, as well.
    Necessity is indeed the mother of invention, and possessing and utilizing a powerful tool is necessary to progress our efforts in reaching an abundant amount of individuals and entities.
    The primary functionality of the framework (as displayed in the diagram) is complete; improving and adding additional XMVC components are the primary objective at this point of the development stage.
    Very soon, I will upload the source code to an outlet (such as Google Code) for developers to download and experiment.  Within the same timeframe, anticipate demo apps within App Markets to test on your devices.
    Adobe has such an incredible development community, and my hope is that XMVC provides these developers, as well as Adobe, an incredible amount of leverage to persuade businesses, consumers, as well as other developers to embrace and utilize a platform that can withstand the change of time.
    Imagine businesses excelling beyond their self-imposed barries due to the robustness and flexibility of a platform and framework that can function in any environment.
    Imagine liberating consumers to allow them to use your applications whenever, wherever, and on WHATever they desire.
    Think of the possibilities of quickly submitting applications -- with very little, or no, alterations to your programs -- once device manufacturers like Windows Mobile, webOS, and Symbian finally accept Adobe AIR.
    If there are developers out there who share the same sentiment, and if there are Adobe representatives who find this framework intriguing and effective, by all means, contact me.
    The possiblities are endless...so must be our efforts.
    Onward and upward,

  • Folios for lectures and students : impossible to preview...

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to create folios as complement to my lectures using InDesign CS6 but I'm wondering whether this is possible without any Creative clouds or DPS membership.
    According to Adobe's help, I understand it is : "The Folio Builder panel, Digital Publishing Suite Dashboard, and DPS App Builder all require a verified Adobe ID to sign in. Signing in to the Folio Builder panel is optional. If you don’t sign in, you can create local folios and preview them using the Desktop Viewer or the Adobe Content Viewer on a mobile device. Signing in to the Folio Builder panel lets you upload folios to the acrobat.com server. You can download these folios to your mobile device or share them with other users...."
    However, once I've created my folio I can only  visualize it using the desktop Adobe content viewer but not on the iPad (although connected to the pc and with AdContent viewer).
    Thanks for your help.
    Patrick

    You don't need Creative cloud or DPS membership unless you are creating/publishing app. Is that giving you any error message? When you try to preview, does it show device name?
    You can also create local/offline folio, can preview them desktop viewer or Adobe content viewer on device.
    Steps to view folio on device:
    1. Connect your iPad or iPhone to your computer.
    2. On your iPad or iPhone, start the custom Adobe Content Viewer created using DPS App Builder.It isn’t necessary to sign in.
    3. To preview a folio, in the Folio Builder panel in InDesign, select the folio you want to preview, and then choose Preview on [device name] from the Preview menu at the bottom of the panel.
    The previewed folio is copied from your computer to your device. The folio remains on your device when you disconnect it. When you archive the folio, it’s removed from the library.
    4. To preview only the current layout, open the Folio Overlays panel and choose Preview on [device name] from the Preview menu at the bottom of the panel.
    5. The previewed layout remains on your device when you disconnect it. When you return to the library, the previewed layout is removed. Previewing on Device from the Folio Overlays panel displays only the pages of the current layout. Alternate layouts in InDesign CS6 are not included in the preview.

  • Single WLC for Corporate and Guests

    Hi, We are looking into deploying Wirelss on our corporate network. There are a few branch office and a central office, we want to use a single WLC if possible which will allow both internal and guest user traffic whilst isolating guest traffic.
    I understand there is the option of placing an Anchor WLC in the DMZ for guest traffic and an internal one, but it's a bit of overkill given the limited access required for guests at this stage.
    Is the above possible to place the WLC in the DMZ or on the internal network whilst having the guest user traffic terminate in the DMZ and isolated from internal traffic.
    The WAN to branch offices are IP WAN and is it possible to somehow bridge them back to the central office WLC?
    Thanks

    There are a lot of variables that would go into this.  In my environment, I have a 6500 and a couple of WiSM controllers.  I also have a FWSM that is seated in a different 6500.  What I did was create a vlan and map that vlan to my FWSM as a DMZ.  Then I set up the approprate firewall rules to seperate that vlan from everything else.  Then I just trunked that vlan to the 6500 that my WLCs are seated in.  I then created a dynamic interface on my WLCs that pointed to this vlan and created an SSID that was meant to be a Guest SSID using Layer 3 security (Web Auth).  Works pretty well.

  • 9.0.2 portal on NT/Win2k - single host for infrastructure and midtier

    We're having myriad problems/bugs with a 9.0.2 portal implementation on Windows 2000. We've implemented both the infrastructure and mid-tier on the same host, a hefty new Compaq.
    Has anybody had any luck with this type of OS/single host deployment of portal 9.0.2?

    I have managed to get it to "work" - though not on that OS. We are using Solaris 8 for this and it took me a little over three weeks to get it to a "workable" state.
    I found a couple of things that may help though:
    order of install is very important. As the documentations says install the infrastructure first then the mid-tier. What it doesn't mention (at least not where I was reading) was to configrue the oem reporting website after the infrastructure install and BEFORE the mid-tier install. I overcame a number of problems doing it this way.
    Also, after each install exit OUI. It's strange but it works. Oracle makes some mention that they do not support multiple installs in the same session. It's in only one of the many documents I read on this website.
    Edit the httpd.conf to auto start Jserv and hard code the ports for the sucker. Don't depend on it doing itself manually.
    Also, make sure the jserv.conf line in httpd.conf is uncommented.
    Also, under unix before each install explicitly indicate which ORACLE_HOME you are installing into (I guess this may mean to manually enter the ORACLE_HOME values in the Windows registry). Do not unset the ORACLE_HOME value as the Oracle documentation states when doing the second install - hard code it yourself.
    Check on the DISPLAY value in jserv.properties (for both mid-tier and infrastructure - I am guessing that you may not need to do this but for Unix it's a big thing and causes a huge number of errors).
    Uncomment the following line in jserv.properties if your version of the jdk is higher than 1.2.2a:
    #wrapper.env=JAVA_COMPILER=NONE
    verify that the cgi-bin virtual directory is set properly in oem.conf found in /db/d01/oracle/ora9ias/oem_webstage if the following sections is found in oem.conf (it points to the Apache cgi-bin directory):
    DirectoryIndex emwebsite.html
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/db/d01/oracle/ora9ias/Apache/cgi-bin/"
    ScriptAlias /oem_webstage/cgi-bin/ "/db/d01/oracle/ora9ias/Apache/cgi-bin/"
    Alias /oem_webstage/ "/db/d01/oracle/ora9ias/oem_webstage/"
    Change it to reflect the cgi-bin of the oem website
    DirectoryIndex emwebsite.html
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/db/d01/oracle/ora9ias/oem_webstage/cgi-bin/"
    ScriptAlias /oem_webstage/cgi-bin/ "/db/d01/oracle/ora9ias/oem_webstage/cgi-bin/"
    Alias /oem_webstage/ "/db/d01/oracle/ora9ias/oem_webstage/"
    When the infrastructure in installed always, always start dcmctl (the Oracle http server) before starting the Enterprise manager during the startup of the server else you will get passwords that are not synced. Same for when you need to restart the httd server - shutdown the enterprise manager website down first, make your changes, shutdown the httd server, start it up and then restart the enterprise manager.
    Just some things that I can think of off the top of my head right now.
    Now if only the mid-tier would have installed the Portal to the default port rather than one I did not choose. That's a whole nuther story.
    Good luck.

  • Single condition for contract and domestic sales

    Dear All,
    I just want to know is there any possibility to go with one condition type for contract and regular sales as in case of regular price will be determined automatically and not modifible, where as based on the requirement contract price condition will be created.
    Now under this process there is a problem and it is picking contract price in regular sales order also, but i want contract price need to be triggered only when it is referenced.
    Thanks
    Srini

    Hi,
    As I understood you want to have same Condition type (Say PR00) to have in  both Sales Document types. (In other words to have same condition type in both pricing procedures used for Contract & Sales Order)
    Since you want to set "Not modifiable" when it's in the sales order & when it's in Contract you want to manually enter same condition, this is not possible.
    Because, "Manual entries" control is inside the Condition Type.
    IMG Path:
    Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types -> Maintain Condition Types
    Therefore you can set it only for a condition type. Where is for PR00 it's either "Manual entry has priority" or "No limitations" or "Automatic entry has priority" or " Not possible to process manually"
    Therefore you cannot have same condition to satisfy both requirements. In that case you have to have 2 condition types,
    Best regards,
    Anupa

  • Can I have a Single Licence for Windows and Mac?

    I have PS CS4 for Windows installed on my desktop computer. I have recently bought a MacBook Pro. Can I install PS on my new laptop using my Windows licence or must I buy another licence.

    If you have a windows clone software installed, then it should be fine. But if you want the mac version of photoshop, then normally you would buy the CS4 photoshop for Mac as the CD version comes with only 1 license for 1 platform.
    However, since CS4 is not the current version you could subscribe to the cloud and that license is for Windows and Mac.
