Will Screen Resolution Kill DPS?

It certainly is beginning to make DPS challenging!
The iPhone 5 is coming soon with a 4" screen. At a 16:9 aspect ratio that means a Retina display of something like 1152 x 648.
I've been contemplating supporting the Nexus 7 because it has been well received even though my Kindle Fire has been collecting dust for months.
And I do intend to support the iPhone 5! Had a customer today who wants 16:9.
Yet at what point can I no longer ignore Android tabs and phones?
It also appears that Apple will bring out a 7" iPad mini. Apple may stick to a 4:3 aspect ratio...possibly even keep the first gen mini at a non-Retina resolution of 1024 x 768. Let's hope they do!!! Done & Done!
But I agree with Bob L that it isn't cost effective to layout both H and V's. Nor have I pushed out a Retina folio yet because I can skate by with 1024 x 768 PDF folios on the iPad 3.
What with multiple layouts, multiple aspect ratios, multiple viewers, clunky workflow, bulky folios, slow server speeds, no ad network support...plus exorbitant per unit download fees...I'm beginning to think more seriously about responsive web design, HTML5 and ePub.
I initially thought Jason Pontin at Technology Review simply had a bad experience with DPS. But he may be right. This is becoming a mess...Anyone had success with Liquid Layout?

Bob -
I think your'e right in hoping that we can soon export to HTML5.
Given how we are now pushing folios back to the web at contentviewer.adobe.com...the unique role of a fixed dimension tablet workflow may become less important to DPS.
Perhaps, we should begin thinking of publications as DPS "micro web sites", which happen to work exceptionally well when downloaded in their entirety to mobile devices!
Ultimately the seemless nature of a cross platform, device independent publication is what matters most to readers and customers.
They want to put down their Kindle ebook, or Netflix video on one device, and pick up exactly where they left off, on another.
It's our challenge - and Adobe's - to keep up with how consumers actually consume...and be less swayed by the fancy MSO's and embedded video tools at our disposal.

  • How we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC

    how we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC. can you give the code or how we have to set it

    Hi,
    You need to use the CTU_PARAM options with the call transaction method.This is used if you would like to do a commit work once call trnasaction is done. This has also got very important property, for example if your Screen resolution is different from others then the screen (Application) will be different that is you'll be having say 5 lines in your screen where as your friend will be having 8 or 10 so your program might fail in this case. If you set variable DEFSIZE as 'X' it will always use the default screen size and hence avoids error.
    Use CALL TRANSACTION 'XXX' OPTIONS FROM w_ctu_params.( type CTU_PARAMS)
    This structure contains the follwing.
    DISMODE : Display mode (like the MODE addition)
    UPDMODE: Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
    CATTMODE: CATT mode (controls a CATT)
    CATT mode can have the following values:
    ' ' No CATT active
    'N' CATT without single-screen control
    'A' CATT with single-screen control
    DEFSIZE : Use default window size (Here we are handling those transaction by giving default window size)
    RACOMMIT: Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
    NOBINPT : No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
    NOBIEND : No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
    The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
    'X' Yes
    This might help u in better understanding...

  • Will Adobe CS6 work on a laptop with screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels?

    I'm looking at this laptop -
    HP ProBook 15.6-Inch Laptop 2.1 GHz AMD A8-5550M Processor, 8GB DDR3L, 500GB HDD, Windows 7 Professional and a 7200 RPM drive.
    All the specs are great except for the screen resolution, which Adobe says should be 1280X900.  So I would love to know if CS6 would still work on this laptop.
    Thanks for your help!!
    Dalevideo

    Not only is the screen resolution below minimum requirements, the rest is also very underpowered and slow for CS6.
    If CS6 installs, you will not be able to see critical parts of the user interface, making you work in the blind.

  • Screen Resolution Will Not Stay Set...

    Hi Gang:
    I am trying to get my Mac to display 640 by 480 60Hz resolution so that I can input it into my television. I change the settings in the System Preferences /Display to what I want, yet every time I reboot it changes back to a different setting. I have been setting it up on a computer display monitor, is accepts the new resolution, then reverts back as soon as the computer is restarted. I have tried changing the resolution and starting it on the television upon a fresh re-start thinking it may sense the computer monitor, but still goes back to the higher rez setting. Is there a way to force the setting on the computer? very frustrating.
    Thank you, Glenn

    Hi.
    The screen resolution and refresh rate are stored in the PRAM. If it's an Intel Mac you're dealing with, reset the PRAM by holding the CommandOption+PR keys at startup, until you hear the second chime). If you have a PowerPC Mac, then you'd better reset the NVRAM, by booting into Open Firmware (hold CommandOption+OF at startup), and type at the Open Firmware prompt:
    reset-nvram (hit Return)
    set-defaults (hit Return)
    reset-all (hit Return)
    The machine will restart. Set the resolution you want, and see if that persists after restarts now.
    Good Luck.

  • Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA, screen resolution distorts.  How do I fix?

    When I use my Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, the resolution gets too big for my screen (mbpro 15") and the same thing appears on the projector I use. I'm not sure if I should change my screen resolution while I use the projector or what?
    Also, the first (and only) time I used it, it seemed as if the signal wouldn't even send. After a while of fiddling around, the screen finally showed up on the projector (distorted) but we didn't do anything different to change that. It just kind of did it on it's own. Is this common for "first uses" or will this happen every time?
    I plan on using this again Friday.

    Welcome! If you have mini displayport, you should try the appropriate discussion group for your newer machine:

    Although some things are very similar to the original Macbook Pro, many are not.

  • EHP1 Upgarde Monitor screen resolution problem in a support message

    Hi Experts,
    We have recently upgraded our Solution manager to EHP1, iam facing a screen resolution problem with 15 inch monitors.
    Our key users have 15 inch monitors to their system and when they try to reply a support message under transaction data-> Overview tab -> reply it is showing only one line for them , due to which they are unable to enter the complete data in it.
    How ever We have found that this does not occur with 17 inc monitors as the required screen resoution 1280* 1024 is possible due to bigger size of the monitor.
    can any one suggest how to make the overview tab visible completely with small resolution monitors.
    Thanks

  • Screen Resolution trouble on Toshiba Satellite l775-s7307after reinstallation of Windows 7

    I was having troubles. Had browser malware that couldn't be contained, and I had other issues, such as, getting the blue screen of death on a regular basis.....I wiped the HD, and reinstalled Windows 7-32 bit, and downloaded and installed all the drivers for this model from the Toshiba website, but I seem to be struggling with readjusting my screen resolution to where it should be....It won't set any higher than 1024 x 768.
    Any ideas?

    In the future, I'd recommend performing a system recovery rather than reinstalling a clean copy of Windows. A system recovery will include all applicable software.
    You installed the latest Intel display driver?

  • Yoga 2 Pro REAL Screen Resolution

    SECOND THREAD on this HERE.
    I've just discovered that the Yoga 2 Pro seems to be fudging its screen resolution claim. I wouldn't care, except ... it actually has become a small problem ... and one that I presume will get bigger over time
    The Y2P has a "3200x1800" screen. It's beautiful. And in most regards its also overkill, since there's no such thing as 3200x1800 content, AND because it cause some issues with size of things on the screen. For this reason, and because pushing fewer pixels will tend to improve battery life, I run my Y2P at 1920x1080, or "normal full HD" resolution.
    I recently tried to log into an on-line app I use, as was greeted with a strange error message:
    Well, since I'm running 1920x1080 and using a current version of the Chrome browswer, none of that made sense. I tried Internet Explorer as well ... no luck.
    I installed Speccy, a tool to check things out inside a computer, and when I got to the display settings, here's what I found:
    That's right; I'm "set to 1920x1080", but something is seeing that the REAL resolution is 1280x720. Oh, and elsewhere in Speccy I found that the Y2P is reporting itself as a tablet rather than as a computer ... which probably isn't the issue here, but still unsettling.
    So I changed the resolution to 3200x1800. Good news: I was able to get to the web app I need. BAD NEWS: The real resolution appears to be 1600x900:
    I called Lnove tech support and got a representative who tells me that this is a Windows 8.1 problem; Windows 8.1 cannot support resolutions higher than 1920x1080, so even though the actual hardware resolution of the Y2P is 3200x1800, it needs to scale itself so Windows doesn't cry. This appears to be false (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx), but I don't really know.
    As such, my conclusion is that the representative told me something that was actually the opposite of correct, with correct SEEMING to be that the maximum REAL resolution of the Y2P hardware is in fact 1600x900, with Lenovo's claim of a 3200x1800 resolution being a software/upscaling/interpolation trick.
    If that's so, it's really distressing, because it would appear to be a lie about hardware capabilities.
    I didn't start out caring about that, although obviously as this point I feel like I've uncovered a smoking gun and would like an answer from Lenovo. But at the end of the day, since I don't need or want that 3200x1800 for the reasons I explained at the top of this post, I just want to know the truth—whatever it is— and to know how to get Windows to report the same resolution to "the world" that it's reporting to me, the user.
    And I guess I wouldn't mind knowing why the scaling between real and interpolation is different depending on the settings one selects, too (do the math).
    Anyone know anything conclusive? And even better, anyone from Lenovo have an ideas what the truth is here?

    I don't know if any of these settings (resolution and/or item sizing) affects battery duration. But you could do a battery test: set it to one mode with full battery charge and then leave it on unused until the battery is 50%. Check how long that took. Repeat for the other mode and compare the time difference if any. 
    As to why there are these two layers of settings I think this is the answer: Windows metro apps and some Windows desktop application and the new elements in Windows 8 (the new start screen, the charms bar and all metro apps) have smart scaling of user interface elements (text, buttons and so on) designed to support very high resolution screens like ours. So buttons and text in such programs will adapt in size to fit the resolution. But older desktop applications, including the Windows 8.1 desktop taskbar and its icons it seems, does not do such smart scaling. So running them full resolution mean that everything is really tiny. To work around that everything can be scaled up to 200% (or 150% or 125%). I suspect that future versions of Windows or some Windows update may improve these things since the settings and the button descriptions in the settings aren't very user friendly.
    But I'm not sure about this. I hope someone in the know jumps in this thread and gives more details.
    It is a pity that Lenovo doesn't provide new Yoga 2 Pro users with a user friendly guide with information and tips on good ways to deal with resolutions and these scaling settings.

  • Screen Resolution in Forms60

    Hi all,
    We use Forms60 for our development and we developed all our forms using 640x480
    screen resolution. Now we have to move to 800x600 screen resolution as standard. When we tested in 800x600, all our screens are not of uniform size, i.e. some of them are big and some are small in size. How do we do it without Physically changing all the forms.
    Any comments in this regards are most welcome.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Yes, I used template to create the forms, but some forms are not based on the template.
    What Change should I have to do in my template for the other forms ?

  • Screen resolution in 10G and converison from 6i

    Scenario is something like this:
    We are converting forms from 6i to 10G.
    We have designed forms in 6i for 1024x768 screen resolution. We don't have any issues in 6i for screen resolution of 1024x768.
    We converted the form to 10G. Screen resolution is still 1024x768 in 10G. We are using separateFrame=true in formsweb.cfg to make sure we don't show the Applet in browser window. separateFrame=true opens the application in new window and this new window can use entire screen resolution.
    Applet in new window is bigger than the screen resolution and we see scroll bars in main window when we open a child window. Obviously the applet is showing bigger footprint than client server form.
    Why is this so? Is there a way to fix this?

    If you will bring up a client-server form and a Web separate-frame form and compare them side-by-side, you can easily see the difference.
    The height and width of the actual space used by the form is identical. In fact, in my comparison, both window widths are exactly the same number of pixels. I used snagit to compare the sizes.
    However, if you compare the heights, you will see the difference. The web forms window has three bands above the actual Form canvas:
    1. The main window bar with the java icon on the left, window title, and the three windows icons for minimize, maximize and close.
    2. The pull-down menu choices on the left and the "Oracle" logo on the right. (Look-and-feel generic removes the Oracle logo, I believe.)
    3. The Window0 bar, blank except an icon on the left (right click shows Restore, Move, Size,... CLose) and an icon on the right, which clicking causes the inside window to maximize or restore.
    The Client/Server window has two bands:
    1. Main window bar, similar to 1 above, except the icon on the left is a Forms icon instead of java.
    2. Combination of 2 and 3 above: Contains both the icons in 3 above plus the pull-down menu choices. It is also about 8 pixels shorter than the web forms bar 2.
    In addition, comparing the bar with the message and status lines at the bottom of both versions, you can see that the web forms bar is about 9 more pixels higher.
    It is possible to position the Window0 at a y_pos of about -20 to regain some of the lost height (this causes the third bar described above to be hidden behind the second). But you cannot get all the height back, because of the additional height taken by Web Forms for the second bar and the bottom area.
    So what is left is to reduce the height of the canvas area used by your forms by about 20 pixels.
    I believe these heights are determined by the java runtime used by web forms rather than Oracle, so there is nothing Oracle can do about it.

  • Screen resolution in my 18 All-in-one PC

  • SCREEN RESOLUTION IN BDC

    HI,
    CAN ANY ONE TELL ABOUT SCREEN RESOLUTION IN BDC.
    REGARDS.
    B.SREENIVASULU.

    Hi,
    Screen resolution means different in the screen display depending on ur system screen resolution.
    suppose ur system resolution is diff and another's system is different then like in Tcode VA01, there will be 3 lineitems and another there will be 5 lineitems ,
    so while doing recording and page down that will bw diff so there will be some problem
    So u have to set the screen resolution as default by using CTU parameters..
    write this code then
    f_option-updmode  = 'S'.
    <b> f_option-defsize  =  'X'.</b> f
    _option-dismode  = 'N'.
    *call transaction 'VA01' using bdcdata options from f_option  messages into bdcerror.
    Hope it helps.

  • Screen resolution in WinPE 5.0 on UEFI devices

    Hi
    Can you please help me with the issue i am facing? 
    The screen resolution in WinPE is very high, the drop down values in MDT wizard are extremely small and almost unreadable. I see a similar question posted on technet for screen resolution in
    WinPE 4.0 but I am unable to fix it.
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/66bd25d3-cc37-4841-be38-3f427db36b57/winpe-screen-resolution-problem-no-display-signal-out-of-range?forum=w7itproinstall
    The HTA screen looks OK but the when you select the drop down, the values are extremely small. 
    I also referred to the article from Johan
    http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/51/Setting-screen-resolution-in-WinPE-4-0.aspx
    Below is my setup:
    MDT 2013
    Windows 8.1 x64
    Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 10 (UEFI)
    Tried the below but no luck:
    Changed the ColorDepth to 32 in unattend.xml in WinPE pass
    Tried modifying the Wizard.hta with different screen size and style.zoom
    Playing around with the HTA settings might help but i am unsure how it looks and behaves on other UEFI devices.
    Currently we are using Lenovo Tablet 10 but soon will also be using Surface Pro.
    Am I missing something or is there a better way to do fix it?

    Hi,
    If our only issue is this particular font size, we can adjust some setting in files of
     script folder.
    For example,  open  DeployWiz_LanguageUI.xml under Scripts folder, here is just an example to make keyboard layout font large.
    Find:
    <SELECT NAME="KeyboardLocale_Edit" class=WideEdit >
    Edit it as:
    <SELECT NAME="KeyboardLocale_Edit" class=WideEdit style="font-size: 30px" >
    The result is just like:
    About the root cause, there would be something wrong with the WinPE image, in my test, WinPE 5 works good under UEFI mode. You can recreate one for test.
