Publishing digital magazines

Hi Guys,
Can anyone advice me what is the best way to published our Digital magazines (Pdf format) to sell on iTunes..
Appreciate your help.
Thank you

I have a website where I want people to be able to download the magazine : This is only possible with DPS Enterprise edition, not using DPS Single Edition/CCM. Moreover it needs Apple iOS Developer Enterprise License as well.
Is my only option to build an app for the magazine to be viewed : All supported overlays and interactivity is visible on Adobe Content Viewer on iPad. If it is not working in ACV, most likely it will not work on the app.
Since you have CCM you can build Single Issue apps and would have to submit it to Appstore for mass distribution or individually add upto 100 UDID's in your Mobile Provisioning files for distribution to specific devices.

  • REPOST: Making a digital magazine using Indesign, How to publish it without purchasing DPS?

    Hi there,
    So I have posted this on the Indesign forum, bit have been told to repost the question here.
    I am creating a Digital Magazine for a school project. It is getting marked by a marker and they obviously need to see how the magazine works etc.
    I am not looking into purchasing DPS just for this project. I just want to find a way to put the magazine on the iPad so its fully functional, I am in no way looking to publishing it to the App Store or anything like that.
    Someone suggested I still download the Adobe DPS tools installed (Folio Builder and Folio Overlays).... (Does that require me getting the Digital publishing suite?)
    Or I publish it as an Interactive PDF..
    My final question is how would I go about doing both?
    Thank you.

    Before you start I suggest you to understand the difference between Apps and documents. An App It's a self contained content that could be delivered only by the marketplaces (iTunes, GooglePlay, Amazon). If you choose this solution you have to respect their policies.
    If you choose a document such as a PDF you are free to deliver it as you prefer, by your store, by your network, via mail, etc.
    To read a document you need an App such as a Acrobat Reader.
    In between the document and the App there is the device and the operating system. That's why It's not so easy to mantein all the interactivity that you can potentially place in a PDF when you read on a device such as iPad.
    So we can define many scenarios:
    - Deliver your content using a PDF - lower compatibility with interactivity, no adaptive layout
    - Deliver your content using ePUB - lower compatibility with interactivity, adaptive layout
    - Deliver your content using an App created with a solution like the DPS - high compatibility with interactivity
    - Deliver your content using the developing - everything your target devices can support
    In my opinion I suggest you to adopt a CreativeCloud for education (very cheap) so you can deliver your content in all this ways than choose a good consultant :-)

  • Im creating a Digital magazine using InDesign. How can I publish it without using DPS?

    Hi there,
    I feel really stupid asking this question.
    But Im creating a digital magazine for a school project and I only need to publish it or view it on an Ipad just for the marker who is looking at it, Can see how it works and Can mark it. Is there anyway I can go about doing that without purchasing the DPS. As its alot of money and I dont wish to buy it just to put this one magazine on an Ipad. Its just for my final yearlie school project. So again I dont see the point of purchasing it just for this one project, In which I will never use it again...
    Thank you.

    As long as you have the Adobe DPS tools installed (Folio Builder and Folio Overlays), and you have a free Adobe ID, you can create folios and can view them on your iPad. You can share them with another person who has an Adobe ID. You cannot publish the folio on the Apple App Store without a Creative Cloud subscription, or by purchasing the rights to publish a Single Edition app.
    For further questions, please ask on the Adobe DPS forum:

  • Digital Publishing and Interactivity with digital magazine on my own server

    Hello... I am researching what would be the best plan of action for my project... need to design a digital magazine for the web that is interactive and has rich media like video, animations, etc.
    I am thinking of doing the following... design my animations in Edge Animate that will output html5 friendly animations, then use Indesign to design my master digital magazine like the way I want to with embedded rich media and symbols that have interactivity options.
    I am unsure of my next step, or if I am on the right track... should I bring in this Indesign file as a format compatible with Html5, CSS3, Wordpress or what? And use Jquery plugins within the overall structure to add flash like effects.
    Any suggestions?

  • Digital Magazine Questions - Photos and Sizing

    I am in the process of helping to create a digital magazine.  As I have never participated in this medium before, I have some questions.  Before I really start laying out my project in InDesign, does anyone have thoughts on page sizing?  We plan to publish our magazine via 3D Issue, with a primary goal of it being viewed on desktops and laptops.  What size should I make my pages?
    Also, photography is playing a key role in this magazine.  What file format, size, etc should I use?  I tried putting some full page photos into a mockup I was working on, and they came out all blurry.  Sugestions? 
    I am using a Mac Pro running Adobe Creative Cloud, and ID CS6.
    Thanks!

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for the reply.
    So I was thinking this could be an inactive PDF viewable via Acrobat Reader or a browser, and or iPad / Tablet magazine.
    Ideally I would export one file to all formats if possible?

  • Can a digital magazine like Flipping Book be embedded into a site designed with Muse? If so how?

    Can a digital magazine like Flipping Book be embedded into a site designed with Muse? If so how?

    I assume you are talking about Flipping Book Publisher software (www.flippingbook.com). I have done this very easily. In the flipping book software you need to make sure that the sharing feature is enabled and export out the .html file. Once you have exported and you have it installed on your website, click on the sharing button on your flip
    catalog software. You can then copy the embed code from this window and paste it into Muse (see attached screen shot).

  • I am trying to identify which platform is best suited for creating a digital magazine?

    HI, and thanks in advance for any help.  I publish a digital magazine on Joomag, but want to move away from that platform and use adobe. 
    I simply don't know which platform within the suite is best suited for a novice user.  I'm not a luddite, but not a wizard either.
    Can someone recommend some solution?

    If you only need to handle 2 clients, I see no reason why you
    couldn't run your FMS on your Windows XP machine.

  • Digital Magazine layout & data merge issues

    If anyone can help or offer some advice on the following I would be extremely grateful.  My main problem is applying a data merge to either an existing layout I have created or creating a layout from scratch but having varying box sizes containing merged data and specific numbers of records on particular pages.
    The brief is:
    Create a 28 page digital magazine.
    The magazine will be published either weekly or fortnightly and contain around 500 'listings'.  Each listing has an image, and 4 pieces of variable text.
    My initial plan was to manually enter the listings information - this will take far too long each week.  I am hoping to keep the same layout each week but just change the data on the listings pages by creating a new .csv file each week and applying it using the data merge feature.
    22 of the pages contain 'listings'.  The remaining pages are editorial.
    I'm relatively new to data merge in InDesign.  My knowledge of it's feature is limited to being able to create multiple records but they are all the same size and I don't see any options where I can designate how many records I would like to appear on a particular page and to then keep that layout so I can come back to it each week with a new .csv file and literally just drop it in and i'm done.
    I need the layout of the 'listings' pages to vary so that in some cases there are 30 listings (records) on one page and on other pages there are 23, some are to have 35 etc.  Also on the pages where there are 23 listings - the first 3 listings are to take significantly larger amoutns of space on the page (as featured listings of the week).
    If anyone has used data merge in this way before and can help please let me know.  I have produced a complete layout of the magazine but i'm guessing i'll have to scrap this and start again if I'm going to start using data merge.
    thanks in advance!

    like i said, the XML learning curve is steep as indesign's ability to handle XML on its own is pretty user unfriendly, but ID does get the job done.
    depending on how dirty you want to get your hands, there is an additional book in conjunction to the title i'd mentioned earlier, and it is called "InDesign CS5 Automation Using XML & Javascript" by Grant Gamble which you may want to read. however this is a LOT to digest and certainly not for anyone unfamiliar with programming in javascript.
    is the data for the publication exclusively coming from excel or is it coming from Management Information Software (MIS) which can export XML information? excel on a PC can generate XML but it is useless as a jelly pickaxe as there is a lot of extraneous information saved with the exported XML file.
    there are several people on this forum with a wider experience on this topic than me, and hopefully they are reading this and can carry on with more detailed explanations.
    i'm used to using online converters to take csv files to convert them to XML but the only real advantage of using XML generated this way is to create variable data which flows on in the same text box. This is opposed to ID's data merge which would not flow on the information but instead start the next record in a brand new text box, meaning if an entry has to move from the start to the end, it means making the merge again, whereas if an XML file was used i could simply open up the structure pane and move the record from record 1 to the last record.
    AFAIK apart from indesign and the MIS used to generate the data, i believe that a piece of software called oxygen XML would help in editing the XML once it is generated, but i do not use oxygen XML myself, but perhaps other readers do and can assist you.
    FYI, the project you are talking about is remarkably similar to one which i deal with at work... but we only ever receive the finished art as a PDF, but it appears that the construction method was the same as your idea - that is, take database file, parse it through indesign using different templates and then output it to a media, in my case a printed magazine. unfortunately i can't tell you exactly how they made it as it is proprietary to the client.

  • How do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?

    Hi,
    Im creating an interactive digital magazine for our company which will go on the iPad, but also online for computers.
    The iPad (.folio) has zoom functions, but on screen (.swf) the magazine is very static and peaple can't zoom and scroll (the zooming buttons function in InDesign doesn't work here).
    So, how do I add a zoom function to a digital magazine (.swf file) in InDesign CS6?
    (I read older posts regarding this problem in CS5... It's not possible for me to purchase an additional product for that. I have Flash, if there is a tutorial on how to do it, that'd be helpful too)
    Thanks for your help!
    Best regards!

    Although the help implies this should work, and I've seen it written in a book to do things this way, it's not how I do things:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req1);
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    Instead, try:
    var content_req1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text/hales.txt");
    var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete1);
    content_ldr1.load(content_req1);

  • What are the steps and costs to publish a magazine on the App Store?

    I'm in the learning process in making digital magazines with InDesign CS5.5.
    Now everything is ok until the end of the file is ready to get on the AppStore. I know that the costs are intended for publishers and companies so they can have their "kiosk" . But if I should know budgeting work values ​​and procedure to be able to quote correctly and can not find any place to explain the steps and values.
    I know you must first get an account at iTunes Connect and up they go.
    WoodWing and Adobe are the ones who apparently have the market and are the intermediaries between Apple and publishers.
    If anyone knows or knows a link that explains step by step how the procedure once you have the file ready to upload I'd appreciate it.
    Than you

  • What I need to create and publish a magazine for iOS and Android?

    Hi!
    I would like to know what I need to design, create and publish a magazine for iOS and Android. I would also like to know what products I need, what price would you pay and what process I have to follow to carry out this work.
    Thanks in advance!

    It is NOT possible to create a Single Edition app for Android. Single Edition apps work only on the iPad.
    You can create Single Edition apps using any account—CC, Pro, or Enterprise—and if you cancel your DPS subscription, these Single Edition (or single-folio) apps are still available in the App Store as long as you maintain your iOS account with Apple.
    For multi-folio apps, the app container is downloaded from an app store, but the folios are downloaded from the Adobe Distribution Service. If you cancel your DPS subscription, the Adobe Distribution Service basically shuts down for that app. New users can still download your apps from an app store, but the library will be empty. Existing users can still view the folios they've downloaded, but they can't get any updates or new folios.

  • Adobe DPS - pop-up panels video tutorial for Indesign Digital Magazine problem?

    Hello Everyone
    Trying to get info in a video tutorial for pop-up panels tutorial for a Digital Magazine I'm working on.
    Had advice to do a Multi-State Object - but this is exactly what I need it for and would love a video link i(f any is around).
    Doing a digital Tech Magazine - have about 12 images on a page.
    Want to touch one image and want a pop-up text box with Tech info on this product come up - I want all other images on page to ghost out on doing this - and then I need a button to click to close the panel down and go back to document and ready to click on another picture.
    Is there a tutorial online on how to do this. Hope someone has a link pleaae.
    thanks: Daz

    Here's the best way to attack this as a beginner.
    Create multipage InDesign file with number of pages being equal to the
    number of states you want for your MSO.
    On the first page design the base state. Copy/paste everything to the second
    page and now design the second state.
    On and on until you're done. Now group everything on each page and
    copy/paste in place everything into one page. Create the MSO.
    This is going to give you a pretty heavy file but will give you a good
    foundation for the thought process needed to do this.

  • What are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?

    Hello..
    "what are the tools to create a digital magazine for ipad version and how can be place it in newsstand?"
    I am very tired after done a week of R&D on this issue..
    But i doesn't get any fair solution for this one..
    I hope this is best option to place my issue here to get quick solution..
    Thanks and Regards..

    We are all users here.
    There is no one here from Apple.
    In order for you to develop and distribute content for the iPad, you need to become an apps developer.
    Not sure where you sign up for this or who you have to call.
    There should be a place on Apple's site that refers to a section of the site if you want to be an Apple iOS content developer.
    It cost, I believe $99 U.S. to become an Apple apps developer. You'll agree to Apple's Non-disclosure rules.  You'll receive Apple's app/software developers kit,and access to Apple's app developer site.
    No one here is going to be able to help you.
    Good Luck.
