Professional Edition Month-by-Month

We are creating a digital magazine using Adobe's Publishing Suite. However, I have a question.
I want to create multi-folios under one magazine title so people can subscribe to the magazine. The professional edition offers that. But if I cancel my subscription and resubscribe later, can I continue creating folios under that title?
We are only releasing four editions of our magazine a year. So it doesn't make sense to purchase a full year's worth. So can I subscribe for a month, cancel my subscription, then resubscribe three months later and release a new folio (edition) under that same magazine title? Or do I lose access to my titles when I unsubscribe?
And when I unsubscribe, will my magazine/folios be taken off the app store?
We do have Creative Cloud if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

Its a shame there isn't a halfway house between single edition and Professional, over £300 per month is a barrier to entry for small design agencies that have maybe just a few clients that want a digital publication service. Its not a big cost if you have lots of clients regularly using it, but getting a step on the ladder is costly

Adobe digital publishing suite professional edition monthly

To DPS users,
Can Anyone offer any further details on this monthly edition.
Vividi

DPS Professional Edition is limited to one app for a title across each of our supported platforms. In your case you would have three apps on each platform, which would require three separate Professional Edition licenses.

How the download folios bundle work with Professional Edition?

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to get information about some specific questions without luck.
This is the scenario:
We need to develop a newsletter for a company using the Apple Enterprise membership. First wave will be iOS devices only. Second wave will include Android devices. The newsletter will have around 4 issues per year.
1) Using montlhy membership, are the folio downloads accumulative? Newsletter1, Newsletter2 will give us 500 downloads for the first year? And after that, purchasing the 10,000 will distribute the downloads between all of the folios we have published? The number of available downloads are assigned to the user profile instead of individual apps?
2) Does the folio downloads expire?
3) If we are not using iTunes to distribute the newsletter, how do we keep track of the downloads? Does this happen in the application when installed? And this opens the question if we really need the download fee if we are not using iTunes?
4) If using the Creative Cloud (which only works with iOS devices) will gives us unlimited downloads, right? Does this type of folio work with the Apple enterprise membership?
5) If we create the first wave using the Creative Cloud service, and later we get the Professional Edition, can we "transfer" folio information from the CC to the new Service?
I already called:
877-792-3623 as published on the professional's edition page (they say only can help with Enterpise) and sent me to 1800-443-8158 (Volume Licensing) which didn't know the answers.
I'm trying this way because it was kind of frustrating trying to find the answers by phone.
Please, any help would be great.

1) I'm not sure what you mean by "accumulative". See http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-pro/buying-guide-pricing.html for the included downloads. If you buy monthly then you get 250 downloads per month, and only one month worth will carry forward. If you buy the annual version you get 5,000 downloads, but again, those do not roll over to your next year of service. Folio bundles apply across all publications in your account, not to an individual application.
2) The ones included in your monthly or annual subscription expire at the end of each month or year. A folio bundle purchase expires one year after the date of purchase.
3) For calculating download bundle consumption that's all done by the application itself, not iTunes. The DPS dashboard at http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ will show you the download counts for your publications.
4) Creative Cloud only gives you access to building Single Edition applications. That's a complete, self-contained, application with your content inside. There is no ability to download additional content into the application, and therefore no download charges and no "unlimited" downloads. It's just a single, self-contained, application in the app store.
5) If you start with a Single Edition application and then want to switch to a multi-issue application you'll need to make a new multi-issue application with App Builder and submit it to iTunes as an update to your existing application. Your existing content used to build the SE application can easily be re-published (if necessary) so it shows up in the new multi-issue application. Your readers will see an app update available, download it, and then have the multi-issue experience inside the app. If you are charging for the newsletters it will be problematic granting previous purchasers of your Single Edition application rights to the same content in the multi-issue application.

Clarity on Single Edition vs. Professional Edition

Hi Guys,
I am just trying to make the decision on whether I need the professional edition or whether it’s not worth it. I was hoping some of the regulars here might be able to answer a few questions;
What happens if you buy 10,000 folios and you sell 10,001… does it automatically top up, do you get billed later, or is that extra person blocked from downloading the app until you buy more folios?
What happens with your unused folios – do they simply become available to the next product you release? What happens if you cancel your subscription, or never sell more than 10,000? Are they refunded?
If you have the Professional Edition, can you choose to still release apps as a single edition (as in free of the folio download costs) when required?
Is there any way you can release an App through the single edition service, whereby it has an expiry date. For example, if the user downloads the app and in three months you want to make it so they can’t open the app again (they have to buy a new issue, for example) can you do that?
I currently have a Creative Cloud membership, which comes with the Single Edition DPS. If I roll over into the Professional Edition, does it replace my existing package? So I have Creative Cloud plus the PE features?
Many thanks
Chris

I'll answer the ones I know for sure off the top of my head.
2. Unused folios are available for any issues and publications you produce under your professional edition account. You can have multiple titles available, for example, and they all share the same bundle of folio downloads. If you cancel your subscription they are gone and are not refunded.
3. Yes.
4. No.
5. They are separate. Professional Edition *only* gives you DPS publication capabilities. You still need to maintain your Creative Cloud subscription if you want access to Adobe software like InDesign, Photoshop, etc.

Using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite, Professional Edition

Hello to everyone,
I'm intrested of using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite in my work and i have a few questions.
First of all, I want to make some newsstand application for apple and then for android. I got about 5-6 different magazines that each one maybe can publish 5-12 issues annualy.
In which license can i use the software for as many as magazines i want (that means e.g. 10 apps, each one for each magazine)?
What is the cost for that?
I appreciate your time,
Thanks in advance,
Nick

You can either purchase DPS professional or enterprise edition. In both edition you can create ios including newssatand and android apps.
Professional Edition is available as an annual agreement or a month-to-month subscription.
Professional Monthly subscription purchased through the Adobe store will cost US$495.
Professional Edition Annual subscription purchased through Digital Publishing Suite Channel Reseller Partner and the Adobe store will cost you US$5,940
Enterprise Edition is available through a custom quote based on platform, service, and support fees.
Below are the links you can compare features in editions:

Professional Edition and Apple

Like some others Im having issues with Apple rejecting DPS single edition folios as too "book-like for app store".
Can anyone advise if professional edition suffers same fate and also if Professional edition allows publishing to selected ipad devices bypassing the app store - or is that just the Enterprise Edition?
Im worried as I have two Apps in development and I cant afford to spend 4 months developing something that cant be 'published' on an ipad. My clients would demand their money back!

Simon, I am also worried about Apple and its attitude to DPS. In my situation I am thinking of making huge investments with Adobe and DPS but the policy with Apple rejecting ‘book-like’ apps may start to undermine Adobe and hinder development.
I am finding the trend of rejections on this forum increasing, in what seems to be a subjective area. If I create a Publication with some links, videos and an open splash animation like some of the Magazines we see in Newsstand, I fear that could be also at risk of being having my own developments rejected, and frankly it worries me. This may obstruct DPS developing with Apple, however I hope I am wrong.
What am I to say to a business who decide to put their literature or sales catalog onto the app site, spending hours having drafts and developments signed off to have to go back to the organisation and say, we have to change it, Apple do not approve, its unprofessional.
I believe there needs to be a meeting of the minds with Adobe and Apple to bring some certainty of what will be accepted and what will be rejected, rather than a situation of roulette that we seem to be experiencing at the moment.
As a business model, I need more certainty if I am to proceed development and my risks mitigated.
I hope that I am misguided.

Agency Model for Professional Edition?

Someone from Adobe on an earlier post mentioned that when one has their own DPS Professional Edition subscription, they may create apps on behalf of other clients and then their clients may either choose you to host and sell their content with Apple or do it themselves. This is known to be the Agency Model and I was told, several times in fact, that this was not available for any edition of DPS except Enterprise Edition.
I would appreciate an official answer from Adobe on this matter. Thanks.

Lohrii Alo, do you work for Adobe?
First, I am the publisher of Focus Publishing. We publish Focus Magazine, Folios and Exposures as well as work with photographers who are looking to publish fine art books with high quality printing.
I've been working with Adobe products since '95 right before the PowerMacs came out. So I was working on Photoshop 3.0 with the old LCIII's. Anyway, about 8 months ago I was faced with a problem. Photographers want to have their work published and want to be paid for it. So I provided a solution to their problem using Adobe DPS; building an app for a photographer that would get their work out there and they would be paid off of sales of their app downloads.
The problem is that Apple absolutely refuses to publish anything e-book in its own app without a great deal of interactivity and even then, approval is still not guaranteed. The solution was to do what I'm already doing with Folios and Exposures: Create an entire fine art photography magazine revolving around their photography. Then, I offer the same solution to galleries who want to publish exhibition catalogues but can't afford the printing costs: Develop and sell a digital exhibition catalogue and sell it inside of the App Store.
So far, we only have one title that has been finished, but we're working on 4 others and have a lot of interest from other people. Everything is published under my Apple developer account (Focus Publishing). I have a 2 year agreement with the photographers that guarantees me not only their monthly payment but also that I will be the exclusive distributor of their content on any of the mobile device platforms as an app for the contract term. If they want to cancel - they can as long as they pay me for the remainder of the contract.
We share a DPS account with someone else, but it's only Professional Edition. I sure would like to have more of the bells and whistles that Enterprise Edition serves up, but I'm not there yet financially.
Anyway, as long as I am the one distributing their content, I don't see any problem with this business model if I'm expecting a percentage of sales.
The premise of your question is that the client actually wants to deal with Apple, Amazon, Android, etc. and DPS and wants to update the App when updates become available. Most people don't want to deal with that and want to actually only deal with their own business.

Professional Edition Pricing Question

OMG Adobe is really going off the rails here. I have a few general questions about the Professional Edition (Annual vs. Monthly) that NO ONE in Adobe Sales 800# could answer for me. I'm trying to sell the idea of a digial magazine to my print client, and I literally cannot do so without getting all the details tied down prior to my client meeting.
Basically I need to know what are the pros/cons to buying the Professional Edition Annual over the Monthly service?
Will I be able to access Omniture Analytics any time I wish for each Magazine I publish - regardless of Annual or Monthly subscriptions?
Also, if we purchase additional .folio downloads, do they expire after a certain period of time?
OMG - I will kiss the feet - send flowers - name my first born after whomever can answer these questions.

Hi,
Both DPS Pro Annual and DPS Pro Monthly are 'annual contracts'. It is not possible to sign-up for just a month and then terminate the contract. The main differences between the two
With Pro Monthly, you'll be billed (through your creditcard) per month -- this option is sold online through Adobe.com
With Pro Annually, you'll be billed for a full annual cycle (upfront - through a regular invoice) -- this option is sold through DPS resellers
There are a lot of companies who just want to use the regular 'invoice' cycle instead of going the creditcard route.
DPS Pro Monthly will include 250 folio downloads in the first contract
DPS Pro Annual will include 5000 folio downloads in the first contract
Additional folio packages can be downloaded (smallest being 10.000 downloads). These packages are pre-paid and valid for a year from the moment of purchase. The package becomes obsolete when it has reached "0" or the period of one year since purchase has passed (whichever comes first). It is possible to buy multiple packages at the same time, or multiple packages in a year.
The Analytics dashboard will be available for both DPS Pro offerings.
Feel free to reach out (in this conversation) or through a private message if you need additional info
With kind regards,

Professional Edition for quarterly

I'm trying to build a quote for a small quarterly magazine using DPS professional edition.
Can the magazine buy a monthly account and only pay the months they're publishing (495x4) or do they need an annual account (5,940) to keep the pass issues up on newsstand?
Thanks for your help,
drhounsell

That's a shame.
I've been doing single edition app for a little while now and love DPS. I have had a couple small magazine ask me about getting on newstand but 6k is a lot for smaller less frequent Mags to pay.
Hope adobe introduces options for smaller publications in the future.

Professional Edition Purchase Conditions

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding Professional Edition.
- If I purchase the Professional Edition, can I use it ramdomly, meaning, can I skip months without paying if I don´t need to upload a new .folio. Or is there a minimun period of time I have to purchase (maybe a year...) and pay every month in a row.
- How many .folio can I update. Each .folio stands for ONE magazine?
- How many times can one .folio be downloaded in the Professional Edition?
- The final cost would be USD 99 a year to Apple, and USD 495 a month to Adobe? Or is there another cost?
Thanks.

For multi-folio apps you’ll have a per download fee to Adobe of approximately $0.22.

Palm Desktop crashes when viewing one month in monthly view

Hi--this is a weird problem. Never seen it before.
--My Treo 680 (Win XP SP3), with Palm Desktop 6.2.2 seems to sync fine. I make changes in the Treo, it appears on the desktop.
--Also, I can view and edit the desktop in DAY view.
I normally default to monthly view though--and when I try to edit anything in a monthly view the Palm Desktop immediately crashes.This also seems to happen only with one month--July--where I recently added a lot of new appointments.
I ran the "check" tool for corrupted records, came up clean.
The data seems to be there and be safe and sync, but every time I try to access this one month from monthly view--it crashes.
Any advice, suggestions?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

Your link generated an error message..but I did find a couple of relevant threads. Thanks..
--I have no appointments spanning midnight, so I presume that's not the problem
--I'm reluctant to downgrade versions. I use the same software on my Vista laptop as on my XP desktop and I'd like to confuse the issue or go through degrading both.
The dbfix program was more interesting. It found for Calendar: one appointment in several places that it said "blob goes beyond end of record."
I don't know what that means, but it was particularly odd as this particular appointment was repeated in multiple years as long ago as 1969, it said--which goes beyond the ability of the desktop software even to access; certainly I wasn't using a Palm in 1969, and obviously it didn't exist. So I deleted all of them but for that 1969 one since the desktop will only go back to Jan 1970.
After deleting what I could delete on the desktop, I sync'd.
Didn't help.
I ran the program again and the exact same older--presumbably fictitious-appointments from old years like 2007 were still coming up as checked errors. Hmmm. Apparently deleting them on the desktop helped not at all. So now I deleted one on the 680 as a test.
I sync'd. Immediately crashed the Palm, but when it came came back up. I doublechecekd--that 2007 record was now gone from everything, desktop and PDA. I syncd again,,,went through fine this time.
Ran dbfix again to check--just coming with that one 1969 inexplicable error. Ran Palm Desktop now. Ran the Options/Tools/Check record on the desktop (included utility) just to be sure--no errors.
The final test--running Palm Desktop back in monthly view. Immediately crashed again.
Shrug!
Now, I don't mind buying the dbfix program if that'll do it, but does this seem like something it needs to go through and might actually fix, as opposed to my manually deleting the things?

Set each day to repeat? Edit the event, and select repeat. You can set a custom repeat, if it's specific days and not specific dates, for instance.
