On Adobe DPS and tracking.

Hello,
I am a completely new member to this community. Thank you in advance for all that may take a look at the following questions.
I am writing from the agency side of advertising. One of our clients use Adobe DPS, and our agency will soon be promoting the client's app to drive monthly subscriptions.
First question :
Once a mobile user is driven to download the app i.e. post-click through, is it possible to tie subscriptions back to the ad source through 3rd-party tracking implementation? I'm assuming the answer is no, but I would like to just double-check for reassurance.
Second question :
Once a user has accessed this digital-content through the app, is it possible for the client to get any visibility into the engagments that happen within the app?
I think it may be answered here : http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/ <--
but I am getting different answers about this issue from different sources.
The second part to that question : if those engagement metrics are available to the client using Adobe DPS, can those measurements customized? i.e. - would I be able to track how many page views each unique user has logged? I did take a look at the MPA metrics standard but those only seem to be sending back session duration, count of sessions, etc.
Thank you again.

Hi Mike,
Here are the responses to your questions:
1) First question: The answer is as you suspected, "No".
2) Second question:Once the user has downloaded/installed the app then you can access to baseline analytics reports for basic reporting. You can also get access to Sitecatalyst that provides more deeper tracking. If you are entitling the users directly via direct entitltment; then yes you can track more detailed behavior on each user.

Adobe DPS and Videos

Does the updated Adobe DPS allow for videos to be embedded in the version of the publication that is meant for web sites/viewing on a MAC/PC?

DPS was recently integrated with CCM wherein you can publish as many Built in Single Edition App as you want. But to be able to built multi issue app, and a lot more publishing solution you need the Pro or Enterprise. Go through this buying guide comparisonfor more clarity. Please note, DPS integration with CCM is not a complete publishing solution. DPS with CCM is an addtional benifit for CCM users in a way.
Infact if you do just Demo alone with the Adobe Content Viewer, you don't need DPS at all. You just need Indesign CS5/CS5.5/CS6
But if you are publishing live apps to appstore, you need DPS to be able to do that. And depending on what type of content is published live, you either need DPS single edition/CCM/Pro/Enterprise.
If you are to publish just one single issue/app, Single Edition or CCM will suffice
If you are to publish mutiple Built in Single isssue app you need CCM
If you are to publish multiple multi-isssue apps you need the Pro or Enterprise

How do Adobe DPS and Hype play together? Sharing is caring.

Hi all,
This is a post to record your and my experience with Tumult Hype and Adobe DPS.
I'd like to get in touch with other users who use this productive combination of tools.
We have worked on a big folio and made some demos with Hype Animations.
One way or another we encountered some surprises along the way.
Please share your experiences here.
I'm not advertising any products from Adobe or Tumult, I just want to improve my workflow by sharing and caring
1. Adobe DPS + SVG + Hype = HUGE files
I use a lot of SVG files in my Hype animations. Makes sense right? A+ Quality, A+ Filesize.
But SVGs only work well and stay small in the browser e.g. Safari or on the iPad etc.
On our folio it seems that SVG files are converted into really big bitmaps(?) in the Adobe process (which is a mystery to me of course). The upload takes very very long, so I got curious. Are there any Adobe engineers who can shed light into this?
The "bug" above was a mistake in the process actually. There were other big files in the folder which have been uploaded with the HTML. Dang!
So then have fun sharing, I'll be updating this post now and then (mostly while waiting for the upload to finish )

Hello Calxoddity, Roger and Kirby,
All three of your answers were very helpful and I appreciate your time. I tried to send this reply message a few minutes ago and when I went to hit send, it said I was not logged in... I HAD been logged in so maybe it timed out. Anyway, this post comes through twice I am sorry.
I was feeling pretty befuddled with what to do, adding this topic to the decision on which computer to buy, etc. So your time and wisdom helped me to get my needs into perspective. I think I will start with the newer iphoto that comes on my imac and get PSE9 since my version of PSE is very old.. LOL and then, spend some time learning about aperture 3, since as Roger mentioned, I can import/move the files over to aperture at a future time. Since aperture 3 is the most expensive, it seems a wise move.
Oh, did read Kirby's article/post, thank you, very well written to help a newbie get a handle, and will watch the online tutorial for aperture 3 as well. And maybe it will tell me there, but right now, with iphoto I can easily email a photo and I think it will easily be shared with an ipad2. If I get aperture 3 and use it instead of iphoto, does it have an easy interface for sharing via email and/or the ipad?
Thanks again, you are great!

Need Advice-Adobe Connect and tracking student grades

I know that Adobe Connect can be used as a LMS, I need to know how to track grades for each student. Also each student has to pay for the class, How can I limit or control who logs in to the class. I dont want the link to be passed around for any one to use. I,ll take all the help I can get. Thanks for any help or advice.

The question is, how do I "track each individuals progress through your training, and you will be able to pull reports that show that." When I have the reports published to Adobe Connect, all I see are aggregate results. I can find no way to get individual results.

Adobe DPS and Encryption

Hi There,
Just asking this question in advance.
I know when you submit your app, you have to tick a box indicating if you app is encrypted or not. Having created my app entirely in indesign and Viewer Builder, is there any way that it could be encrypted? I just want to make sure I tick the right box, I must admit I haven't got my head entirely around the whole 'encryption' thing.
Jillian

Select No, Viewer App built with DPS does not implement cryptology and is not encrypted

Adobe DPS and web content viewer issues

Having an issue with the tablet and web content viewer version of this particular article. I've create two separate documents one for iPad and one for iPhone, reuploaded the article and recreate the entire article all in the hopes that it would resolve the issue. Any ideas as to how I can remedy this problem? Thanks.

This is a known issue with smooth scrolling articles in the web viewer: From Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes:
"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. One workaround is to make the height of the smooth scrolling page height an exact multiple of the folio height. Another workaround is to use PNG image format for the Smooth Scrolling article instead of PDF."

Sending Push Notifications with Adobe DPS

Question.
I'm testing out all the Adobe DPS and Apple options. And one of the things I would like to test is Push Notifications.
I followed the iPad publishing guide to be able to get all the certificates so that's ok. Then I was looking for a way to send
push notifications. Because Adobe DPS doesn't really have a UI environment (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong ;-) to send push
notifications I have to do it 'by hand'. When I tested my app on my iPad I got the "app name wants to send you push notifications",
so i'm sure my certificates are working. Now I just need to send a push message.
So I followed this great tutorial:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/3443/apple-push-notification-services-tutorial-part-12
I was able to do everything and was able to send a push notification ... but I never received it. And the reason for this is because
I don't have the app device token, which is a 64 character serial number which acts as your app address. So I don't have any way of sending the notification
to my particular app. (which is a test sideload multifolio app).
Because the Adobe DPS is cloud based you don't get any code (which I love). But I think that is currently stopping me
from finding out my device token.
What I'm asking:
- Does this mean I can't send any push notifications to Adobe DPS created apps?
- If this is supported somehow, I suppose (again, correct me) I need the app device token for the created app. Where do I get this?
Thanks !

At this time, it's not possible to manually push notifications. When you enable push, only publishing a new folio displays the red badge. At some point, when third-party push is supported, manual pushes will be possible.

TransactionCannotConnectToServerError - Adobe DPS - Library and Store SDK 2.30

Hi
Adobe DPS - Library and Store SDK 2.30
What does the adobeDPS-TransactionErrorType.TransactionCannotConnectToServerError mean?
I wanted to run a login request throught the authentication service. Our entitlement server sends back the authentication token with a status code 200 but the authentication is incorrect because if this transaction error.
adobeDPS-TransactionErrorType.TransactionCannotConnectToServerError
Value: -110
Indicates the Library could not connect to the particular server needed to complete a transaction.
Thanks,
Peter

This line in Colin's video is incorrect:
"Access to Store/Library API creates new possibilities in an article"
The information in the articles is correct. Specifically, if you launch the Information Screen from within an HTML article or a Web Content overlay, you reference the Reading APIs. If you launch the Information Screen from within an entitlement banner, a custom library, or a custom slot, you reference the Library/Store APIs.

DPS and Adobe Packager for CC 2014 - Script doesn't finish.

I'm currently unable to deploy DPS to my InDesign users. We distribute the Adobe Apps using Adobe Packager and JAMF/Casper. For the most part, it works great.
However, DPS has always required some special work. Following the instructions here: Deployment DPS Toolkit Update| AAMEE |Mac OS I've been able to get DPS installed just fine until now.
However, the latest version of DPS (v. 31.01) seems to have a weird quirk. Simply put, the command and/or script never exits. DPS gets installed, but then the process just hangs. The behavior is the same whether I do this directly from the command line, or with a script. The only way to get out of it is to force the process to quit by hand, and then logout/login again. Obviously, that's not really a solution.

Here's what we do. We place the components of the DPS installer on the end-users machine in some secret place like /private/tmp
The script is a a pretty basic implementation of the command line <Path of DPS patch>/AdobePatchInstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobePatchInstaller –- installSourcePath=<Path of payload folder> --mode=silent
This is the exact command line indicated on the the Adobe webpage linked in my original post. Of course, we replace "<path of DPS patch>" with the actual path.
The thing is, this behavior of not quitting happens regardless of whether the command is issued using a script, or if the command line is just entered in terminal.
Not sure what you mean about how long was our last deployment. We're updating to CC 2014, and need to install the DPS patch for our InDesign users. This latest DPS Installer Application is being applied to a fresh CC 2014 installation. Although annoying that DPS cannot be built with the standard CC packager, this scripted workaround has worked just fine for all previous versions of CC and DPS.

Creating and releasing (for private use) an app with Adobe DPS

Dear all,
I am creating an app for iOS devices with Adobe DPS.
It will be a private app; I don't want it to be viewable on the app store. I only want to get a .ipa file so that I can send it to my contacts and the can install it on their devices through iTunes.
Honestly I'm a bit lost. It's the first time I'll have to face all of this.
I don't really know how to proceed for a private app. I guess even if it's not available on appstore, the app still have to be approved by Apple ? or am I wrong ? What are the steps to go through in order to get the .ipa file ?
Do I have to follow the same step-by-step tutorial as for a common app ?
Any advice from someone who have already faced the same kind of situation, or from anyone who knows a bit about all of this is very very welcome…
Thanks all for your time.
Best regards.
F.

With a pro account you get a .ipa file and a .zip file. The ipa file is for testing so the devices that you add in the apple developer account ( max 100 in a year ) can all install the ipa file. The .zip is for submitting to apple.
In the enterprise edition for DPS you can create enterprise signed builds that can be installed on any Ipad within the organization. ( no limit to the number of devices you can install it to. )

Sitecore APS and Adobe DPS

Hi,
I'm starting a new project involving DPS and am looking to link the content with a website that is currently on a Sitecore platform. I am curious if anyone has used the Sitecore Adaptive Print Studio which is essentially a Sitecore and InDesign connecter to achieve such a system.
I tried Adobe customer support and they were not familiar with the Sitecore APS and I have been in contact with Sitecore but they are not familiar with the DPS.
The final magazine will be a large publication in the end and it would be nice to automate the process of updating the information through the Sitecore CMS if possible. Any suggestions on this topic?
Thanks!

Hi el Fani. My name is David Williams and I am the Global Services Director for Sitecore. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve not been able to get the help you need so far.

Adobe Audition cd and track name error

How do you establish a unique CD name and track names when burning audio to a CD in Adobe Audition CC? When I drag files with unique names into a track layout and burn audio to a CD, the audio is fine but the CD name and the track names always get labeled with the same data of unknown origin listed below:
Auctions / Harris Real Estate (CD Name)
01 All The Lovers (Fear of Tibers Remix)
02 All The Lovers (Dada Life Remix)
03 ll the Lovers (Dada Life Full Vocal Remix)
04 All the Lovers (Dada Life Dub Remix)
05 All the Lovers (Dada Life Instrumental Remix)
I have attempted to modify properties, metadata, track names, CD Text, etc. to no avail. If I import the same files into iTunes and burn a CD from that application, all the names are correct.

By the way I am using MAC OS 10.10.2 and Adobe Audition CC Version 6.0. The erroneous names are showing up in the Finder Window or if I attempt to import the burned CD into iTunes.

Adobe DPS apps and cryptography/encryption

Hello,
We just used the Adobe DPS Single Edition to create an awesome animated storybook for kids (by placing m4v video overlays on every page). So, we are now ready to upload our app to the App Store.
As part of the submission process, we are being asked the following:
"Is your product designed to use cryptography or does it contain or incorporate cryptography?"
What does this mean?? Does this apply to apps created with DPS Single Edition? How would a DPS user even know the answer to this?

Select No. The custom viewer doesn't include cryptology.

Can you move a magazine app designed by another company to Adobe DPS?

My company had a digital company (who shall remain nameless) produce their magazine app under the (digital company's) information. I want to transfer everything over to Adobe DPS because frankly, this digital company did not live up to their promises, have terrible customer service, and are strictly just adding buttons to a pdf (not interactive at all). With that said, do I need to start from scratch and build a new app? Or can I just obtain the app that's already been created? If not, do I just tell the other company to delete our app? Thanks!

If you move to DPS you'll wind up building a new application using our tools and submitting that to Apple as an update to the existing application. Your readers will see an update to the app and when they download it they'll have the new version.
What is more complicated to sort out is whether readers would still be entitled to content they'd previously purchased. That depends a lot on you previous setup, how the previous product handled purchases, etc.
