Installing DPS tools

The Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is available for InDesign CS5 and later. To install the full set of tools for InDesign CC or CS6, run the DPS Desktop Tools installer by choosing Help > Updates in InDesign. To install the full set of digital publishing tools for InDesign CS5/CS5.5, two separate installations are required. Install both the Folio Producer tools and the Folio Builder panel.

AIR 2.x is required to run AIR applications such as the Desktop Viewer. The most current version of AIR is available at http://get.adobe.com/air/. If you experience problems installing the tools, see "Common installation issues" later in this article.

Installing the DPS Desktop Tools (InDesign CS6)

In InDesign, choose Help > Updates, and update DPS Desktop Tools. The DPS Desktop Tools installer installs the Folio Overlays panel, the Folio Builder panel, a required InDesign plugin, DPS App Builder, and

the Desktop Viewer.

Note:

Whenever a new version is released, it can take a few days for the newest installer to be included in the InDesign Updates installer. During this period, you can update the DPS Desktop Tools by clicking the link in the Folio Builder panel or by downloading the most current installer using the above links.

Installing the Folio Producer tools and Folio Builder panel (InDesign CS5/CS5.5)

1. Exit InDesign.

2. Install the DPS Tools. Windows: Download Folio Producer tools (Windows) Mac OS: Download Folio Producer tools (Mac OS)

3. Install the Folio Builder panel. Windows: Download Folio Builder panel (Windows) Mac OS: Download Folio Builder panel (Mac OS)

Installing the Adobe Content Viewer on a mobile device

If you have an iPad, an iPhone, an Android tablet, a Kindle Fire, or a Windows device that runs 8.1 or later, install the most current version of the

Adobe Content Viewer from the store. In the store, search for “Adobe Content Viewer.”

Updating the DPS Desktop Tools (InDesign CS6)

Whenever a new set of tools is released, choose Help > Updates in InDesign and update the DPS Desktop Tools. If you need to create folios that are compatible with an earlier viewer (v20 or later), you can use the Folio Builder panel to target that viewer version.

Updating the Folio Builder panel and/or the authoring tools (InDesign CS5/CS5.5)

The Digital Publishing Suite tools are updated frequently. Whenever there is a new release, the Folio Producer Service is updated on the web. There is a separate installer for the Folio Builder panel so that you can update the panel without updating your tools. Whenever Adobe updates the web client, update the Folio Builder panel to make sure that the web client and the Folio Builder panel remain in sync.

Note that updating the Folio Builder panel does not update your authoring tools. The Folio Builder panel updates are available on the Adobe Downloads pages: Windows: Download Folio Builder panel (Windows) Mac OS: Download Folio Builder panel (Mac OS) You also have the option of updating the authoring tools when a new version is released. When you update the authoring tools, any folio you

publish is not compatible with any pre -v20 viewer version. For v20 viewer versions and later, update the authoring tools, and you can specify the viewer version when you create a folio. See Create a folio.

With InDesign CS5/CS5.5, you may need to revert to a previous set of Folio Producer tools to be compatible with an older custom viewer (v19 or earlier). Uninstall the Folio Producer tools, and then download and install the appropriate version. Older tools are available on these pages:

Windows: Archive of older Folio Producer tools (Windows) Mac OS: Archive of older Folio Producer tools (Mac OS)

Common installation issues

Adobe Content Viewer for the Desktop not installed properly

In some instances, updating the DPS Desktop Tools or the Folio Producer tools fails to install the Adobe Content Viewer for the Desktop (also called the "Desktop Viewer"). The workaround is to install the Adobe Content Viewer for the Desktop manually. To do this, double-click the AdobeContentViewer.air file:

Note: The location can vary slightly if you are on 64- bit version of Windows, or if you are installing the InDesign CS5/CS5.5 Folio Producer Tools. Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6/ContentViewer/AdobeContentViewer.air Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6\ContentViewer\AdobeContentViewer.air For details, see this tech note: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/manual-install-content-viewer.html

"Please update your app" error message

When customers attempt to download new folios in your branded viewer app, the following message appears: "Please update your app. This issue is available for download, but requires a newer version of the app."

If customers are getting this error, the viewer version of the folio is higher that viewer version of the app. To fix this problem, either publish the folio using an older viewer version that is compatible with your app, or submit a new version of your app to the store.

For details, see this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/please-update-app-download-folio.html

"You do not have a compatible Digital Publishing Plug -in" error message

After updating your Folio Producer tools, this error message tells you to download the Folio Producer tools, but you have the most current Folio Producer tools and panel. This problem sometimes occur when there is a problem with the PlugInConfig.txt file. Moving or deleting this file usually resolves this issue. For details, see this tech note: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/error-do-have-compatible-digital.html

Using Adobe IDs for DPS

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.

Creating and verifying an Adobe ID (non-DPS subscribers)

If you’re not a subscriber to DPS or Creative Cloud, you can use DPS tools to create and share folios. To create individual Adobe IDs, go to

https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ and click Create Account. Sign up for an account using a valid email address. Adobe will send you a

verification message. Open that message and verify it. Use the Adobe ID to sign in to the Folio Builder panel, Dashboard, or DPS App Builder.

Creative Cloud membership

If you have a Creative Cloud membership, use the Creative Cloud account to sign in. When you sign in to the DPS App Builder using the Creative Cloud account, you can build iPad apps that you can submit to Apple.

Adobe ID tied to application (Professional and Enterprise subscribers)

You can use an Adobe ID for an individual (such as “johnsmith@gmail.com”) to sign in to the Folio Builder panel and create folios. However, if you’re publishing a multi-folio viewer app, such as a monthly magazine, we recommend that you use an Adobe ID specifically for that application, such as “dps.publication@publisher.com”). Use the Account Administration tool to assign the application role to an email account.

Application Adobe ID

Folio Builder panel B. DPS App Builder C. Custom viewer app created with DPS App Builder displays folios created with Folio Builder panel

The Adobe ID you use to sign in to the Folio Builder panel is tied to the Adobe ID (called the “Title ID”) you specify when creating the viewer app

in DPS App Builder. This Adobe ID should be assigned an "Application" role using the Account Administration tool. For example, suppose that you belong to a company called Sporty and you publish magazines about kayaking and cycling. For best results, create

one Adobe ID called “dps.kayaking@sporty.com” and another called “dps.cycling@sporty.com.” When creating and publishing folios about kayaking, use the kayaking Adobe ID to sign in to the Folio Builder panel and Folio Producer. When

creating the custom viewer app for kayaking, you specify the kayaking Adobe ID in the Title ID field in DPS App Builder. (The Adobe ID you use to sign in to the DPS App Builder may be a different Adobe ID, depending on the settings in the Account Administration tool.)

Similarly, for the cycling app, you would use the cycling Adobe ID to create and publish folios, and you would specify the cycling Adobe ID as the Title ID in DPS App Builder.

Folios you publish using the kayaking Adobe ID appear in the kayaking app. Folios you publish using the cycling Adobe ID appear in the cycling app.

Creating delegate Adobe IDs (subscribers)

A delegate Adobe ID is attached to a specific publishing account and can be used only for that account. If you want to use an email address as a delegate Adobe ID, use the Account Administration tool to create the Adobe ID. If you use a different method to make an email address an Adobe ID, that email address cannot become a delegate Adobe ID.

If you’re a Professional or Enterprise subscriber, use the Account Administration tool to assign a different role to the Adobe ID so that you can use it to create an application or to sign in to the DPS App Builder. See Account Administration tool.

Overview of the DPS workflow

Adobe InDesign is the central component of the workflow. Using InDesign, design teams create layouts and add interactivity. With layouts in hand, production teams assemble the layouts, add metadata, and publish them into a “folio” format.

Anyone who uses InDesign CS5 or later can author, preview, and share digital publishing folios. However, to create custom apps for commercial use, you need to do one of the following:

Subscribe to the Digital Publishing Suite with a Professional or Enterprise account. A DPS subscription lets you create unlimited apps for Apple App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, and Windows Store. If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, please read the Adobe DPS Getting Started Guide (PDF).

Obtain an Adobe Creative Cloud membership. With a Creative Cloud membership, you can create unlimited single-folio apps (iPad only). Obtain a Single Edition license to create a single viewer app (iPad only).

Getting your InDesign layout onto your iPad

Step 1: Install DPS tools

If you’re new to the Digital Publishing Suite, install the newest version of DPS tools. For InDesign CS6/CC, choose Help > Updates, and install the DPS Desktop Tools. For InDesign CS5/CS5.5, install both the Folio Producer tools and the Folio Builder panel. The Folio Producer tools installer installs or updates the Folio Overlays panel, a required plug-in, and the Desktop Viewer. The Folio Builder panel installer installs only the Folio Builder panel. See Installing digital publishing tools.

If you have an iPad or an Android device, install the most current version of the Adobe Content Viewer from the store (Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Amazon Appstore).

Step 2: Create source documents in InDesign

Create InDesign documents as the base layout for the digital content. With InDesign CS5/CS5.5, you can create both a portrait (vertical) and landscape (horizontal) layout in separate documents for each article. With InDesign CS6, you can create horizontal and vertical layouts within the same document. You can also limit your design to a single orientation. See Designing digital publications.

In addition to using InDesign files as source content, you can also create articles based on HTML. See Import HTML articles.

Step 3: Add interactive objects

Use the Folio Overlays panel to create and edit interactive objects. Not all InDesign interactivity features are supported. See Overview of

interactive overlays.

To see examples and how- to instructions for each overlay type, download the Digital Publishing Suite Tips app on your iPad or other mobile

device.

Step 4: Use the Folio Builder to create folio and articles

Signing in to the Folio Builder panel is optional. If you sign in using a verified Adobe ID, folios you create are uploaded to an acrobat.com site. You can then download these folios to the Adobe Content Viewer app by signing in using the same account. If you have a Creative Cloud membership, sign in using your Creative Cloud account. If you do not have a verified Adobe ID, go to https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/, click Create Account, and follow the prompts.

Use the Folio Builder panel to create or open a folio and add articles. Each article can have two layouts for horizontal and vertical orientations. See Creating folios.

You can also edit folio metadata using the Folio Producer Organizer at http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com. See Folio Producer Organizer.

Step 5: Preview and share articles

To preview the folio using the Adobe Content Viewer for the Desktop, select a folio or an article in the Folio Builder panel and click Preview. See Use the Desktop Viewer to preview content.

To preview the folio on mobile devices such as the iPad, install the free Adobe Content Viewer on the device, and then sign in using the same Adobe ID you used to sign in to the Folio Builder panel. Use the viewer library to download and view folios. See Preview folios and articles.

Use the Share command in the Folio Builder panel to share a folio with other people. Anyone with a valid Adobe ID can view the folio you share with them for free. When they use the Adobe ID to sign in to the Adobe Content Viewer, any folios you shared with them are available for downloading. See Share folios.

Step 6: Make folios available to customers (Subscribers and Single Edition only)

If you’re a Professional or Enterprise customer, use the Folio Producer Organizer to put the finishing touches on the folio and publish it to the Distribution Service to make it publicly available. See Assemble and Publish.

Use the DPS App Builder to create a custom viewer app that you can submit to the Apple Store, Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, or Windows Store. If you have a Creative Cloud membership or if you obtain a Single Edition license, you can create a single- issue app for the iPad. If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can enable subscriptions (iOS and Amazon), push notifications (iOS only), and Omniture analytics. See DPS App Builder.

Step 7: Analyze customer data and add and update folios (DPS Subscribers only)

After you publish your folio, use the Analytics page on the Digital Publishing Suite Dashboard to track user data. See Omniture analytics. Continue to add folios to your multi-folio custom viewer.

What's New

What’s new in this release

The following features are scheduled to be available for the v30 release. For a compilation of release notes, see History of new feature release notes. For a list of bug fixes, see DPS Bug Fix Release Notes.

What's new in the v30 release (March 15)

The following features are planned for the upcoming v30 release on March 15, 2014. For a video overview, see Overview DPS Update March

2014 (video).

Installation and sign-in

To the top

Folio Producer requires v29 or later tools

Tools; CS5.5/CS5 – v29 for the Folio Builder panel only. If your Folio Builder panel in InDesign is not running v29 or later, a message will prompt you to update the panel. (To see which version you're using, choose About from the Folio Builder panel menu, and look at the last two digits.) Installation instructions for the DPS tools can be found in the Installing DPS tools help article.

Log in to the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com) using the Adobe IDs you use for creating, publishing, and viewing DPS content.

The Digital Publishing Suite Terms of Use (TOU) will be updated on Friday, March 14th at approximately 01:00pm PST.

InDesign users at a minimum must be running the following: CC/CS6 – v29 for the DPS Desktop

Viewer features

The following changes to DPS viewers are planned.

Native viewers for Android and Windows

have the same feature set that iOS viewers have. Improvements to these viewers are scheduled to release every three weeks. See this video

about native viewers.

For the native Android viewer, HTML banners are now available in Web-based DPS App Builder. Updating folios is now supported. Image Sequence overlays are partially supported. Swiping the image sequence is not yet supported in the native Android viewer—only tap to play or autoplay. For information about the native Android viewer, see Building native DPS apps for Android devices.

For the Windows Store viewer, Image Sequence overlays are now supported. For information about the Windows Store viewer, see Building DPS apps for Windows Store.

Native viewers for both Android and Windows Store are now available. These viewers do not yet

Relative navto links

navto://relative/first action jumps to the first article in the folio. Valid formats include first, last, next, previous, and current. You can also jump to a specific article relative to its position in the folio, such as the fifth article.

Relative navto links are supported in the iOS and Windows Store viewers, but not yet supported in the native Android viewer, desktop viewer, or web viewer. Relative navto linking requires a v30 app version, but it works with any folio format.

See the Using relative navto links help article.

JS API support for relative navto linking (iOS only)

can query the folio to determine information such as how many articles are in the folio and how many pages are in an article. You can then display this information or use it in another way within the overlay or HTML article. For more information, see New APIs and features in R30.

You can now use the navto command to jump to the next/previous or first/last article. For example, a button with a

By creating a Web Content overlay or HTML article that accesses the Reading API, you

Deep linking with parameters (Enterprise only, iOS only)

The v30 update enhances the v29 feature of capturing deep linking parameters. With

the v29 release, deep links supported only custom slots (such as a custom store) as the destination. With v30 viewers, the link parameters are

now available via the JS APIs regardless of the deep link destination. For example, you can now create a link that opens a specific folio and article in an app and offers a subscription discount.

When deep linking into applications, you can receive information back from the viewer via JavaScript APIs. This feature supports linking to articles using the navto format, writing to local storage, and setting a value in the application that is accessible via the JS API. For more information, see

New APIs and features in r30.

Information Screen (iOS only)

API or the Library and Store API, including the library, the custom store, a banner, or an article. You can determine reader entitlement state and other behaviors in order to display desired content in the transparent web view.

You can launch the Information Screen from either the app level (such as a custom library or entitlement banner) or from the folio level (HTML article or Web Content overlay). The HTML files used in the Information Screen must be hosted on a server outside the app, not stored within the app. Users must be connected to the Internet to view the Information Screen.

For a summary of features that can access JS APIs, see Using HTML and JS APIs to extend DPS. For examples and instructions about creating an Information Screen, see New APIs and features in r30 and this Information Screen video.

Secure folios (Enterprise only, iOS only)

to configure an application role for an Enterprise account. Select this option only if you have confidential or sensitive information in your app. Social sharing, web viewer, and background downloads are not available in a secure account.

Folios in a secure account are not available through the Folio Producer Service (acrobat.com). Folios are available only when published to the Adobe Distribution Service. To preview folios in a secure account, you can use Preview on Device to view them in Adobe Content Viewer, or you can build a custom app and view published folios.

Folios are secure only if Enable Secure Content is selected for a v30 app and if v30 folios are published with "Encrypt Folio" selected. Folios delivered to an app using the secure content feature are protected when the device is locked or powered off. The folios become available

after the device is unlocked using a pass code. This is standard iOS functionality provided by the operating system. For more information, see the Secure folios in DPS account help article and the Secure content video.

Calendar API support (iOS only)

users to tap a link to add an upcoming event to their Calendar app (non-recurring events only). You can also allow items such as a list of recipe ingredients to be added to the user’s Reminders app. For examples, see New APIs and features in r30 in the DPS Developer Center [article not yet available].

In iOS viewers, you can invoke a transparent web view from anywhere in the app that can access the Reading

within custom views. With this change, you can use the native subscription or sign-in dialog box to display purchase options instead of having to create your own. The native sign- in dialog box is available in the Library and Store API. The native subscription dialog box is available in both the Library and Store API and the Reading API.

Enhancements to entitlement information (Enterprise)

information. Enterprise publishers offering direct entitlement will still be able to provide both authentication and entitlements, but the Adobe service will be able to cache entitlements on behalf of publishers. For details, see the Changes to Direct Entitlement Infrastructure tech note.

Note the following changes to server features.

Enhancements to text notifications

Notification Portal offers the following capabilities:

Schedule text notifications with an option to cancel unsent notifications. View the history of text notifications. You can send notifications and view the status of current/scheduled notifications. Pass deep links in text notifications. For example, you can provide a link that opens the app library. Use SiteCatalyst analytics to evaluate text notification data.

For more information, see the Push notifications help article and this scheduled text notifications video.

A redesigned push notification service with extended capabilities is now available. This new Push

Analytics improvements

In SiteCatalyst analytics, there is now complete tracking of background downloads starting from when push is received

to when the folio is downloaded.

AEM/DPS workflow

Media Publisher is a module for the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) that allows the system to publish DPS content. Once AEM and the module are configured and using the appropriate templates, you can create HTML articles and publish DPS folios. Articles can be uploaded directly to the Adobe Folio Producer service and can continually check to make sure articles are in sync with the latest changes. For more information about the AEM workflow, see the articles in Efficient DPS workflows leveraging CMS systems.

Web viewer

Note the following changes to Adobe Content Viewer for the Web (web viewer).

Adobe Content Viewer for Web SDK API enhancements

publishers to implement their own “Next Article” and "Previous Article” buttons on their hosting web page. Users can then click these buttons in the iframe to jump to the next article or to the next page of a flattened article. These buttons can be skinned to match the branding and style of the hosting page. For more information, see Embedded Web Viewer SDK.

Browser support notice for Web Viewer

Adobe now detects the browser used to access the web viewer and provides helpful information related to browsers that provide the best experience. For web viewer content hosted at http://contentviewer.adobe.com/, when the web viewer detects a browser that is either not supported or is an “old” version of a supported browser, the web viewer will display a “Best Viewed with…” dialog box that recommends the most recent version of any of the supported browsers, but allows the user to view the folio content. For browsers that are so old they cannot even display this message, the web viewer will display an error message that instructs the user to upgrade to the most recent version of any of the supported browsers and then blocks access to the content (because the user experience is frequently poor).

When the web viewer is hosted on a web site using the Adobe Content Viewer for Web SDK, publishers can opt-in through the SDK to display this support notice or simply receive an API callback allowing publishers to display their own message or otherwise redirect the user to alternate content. For more information, see Embedded Web Viewer SDK .

The embedded web viewer now provides new Javascript APIs which allow Enterprise

Additional analytics tracking for web viewer

Changes to analytics tracking: Source of traffic to the web viewer is tracked. Purchase type associated with entitled content is tracked. When readers sign in to access web viewer content via direct entitlement, the web

viewer should pass information that the content is purchased. TOC clicks are tracked. Clicks of the Paywall button are now tracked in the web viewer analytics reports.

For details, see SiteCatalyst DPS Report Guide (PDF).

DPS

Folio format specification now available

variety of marketplaces that accept the .folio file format specification. Publishing to .folio as a universally accepted digital publishing file format will allow magazine publishers to more efficiently produce digital content for mobile devices by eliminating the need to create and publish interactive, digital content in multiple, individual proprietary file formats supported by each unique marketplace. Newsstands and marketplaces that accept the license for the .folio file format specification will be able to create their own native viewers capable of displaying digital magazines available in the .folio file format.

Release 30 — Upcoming (scheduled for March 15)

To view a description of the new features in the current set of tools, see What’s new in this release.

Release 29

These features were added for v29 viewers.

Support for native Android viewer

You can now use the Web- based DPS App Builder to create native Android viewer apps. The Web-based DPS App Builder runs on both Mac OS and Windows. For the time being, you can still use the existing desktop DPS App Builder to create legacy AIR-based Android apps.

Two versions of the Adobe Content Viewer are available in the Google Play Store and the Amazon Appstore. The “Adobe Content Viewer (legacy)” app is still available for testing content in the legacy AIR-based Android viewer. The new “Adobe Content Viewer for Android” app lets you test content for native Android viewers.

The new native Android viewer supports both tablets and phones running Android 4.0.3 or later. For a list of supported features and limitations, see Building native DPS apps for Android devices. For a comparison chart, see the DPS supported feature list.

Windows viewer enhancements

The Adobe Content Viewer is now availabe in the Windows Store. This app requires Windows 8.1. Note that the ability to create custom Windows apps is not yet available in DPS App Builder. Renditions and pan & zoom overlays are now supported in the Windows viewer. See Building DPS apps for Windows Store.

Streaming Audio and Video

Reduce folio file size and improve download times with new support for streaming video and audio authoring. Audio and Video are now two separate sections in the Folio Overlays panel. For both Audio and Video overlays, you can specify a URL to a media file uploaded to a server. When you specify a media file (MP4 or MP3) for streaming, you can select any option available for local media files, including Auto Play and Play in Background Across Folio.

This URL you specify must be "http" not "https." You cannot use this technique to stream movies from services such as YouTube and Vimeo. Instead, use a Web Content overlay.

Streaming audio and video requires the v29 tools but not a v29 folio format. You can stream media files using an earlier folio format (v18 or later).

Segmented text notifications

Deliver targeted text push notifications to keep consumers engaged with your app and brand. You can identify groups of customers by segment, such as iPad users, iPhone users, or users who haven't used the app in more than 30 days. You can then send text messages to this subgroup of customers' devices to encourage them to download additional content or to view promotional offers.

If you have a SiteCatalyst analytics account, you can gather information for a subgroup of customers in a CSV file. You can then specify this CSV file when sending your text-based push notification. For detailed information, see the Segmented Push Notifications article in DPS Developer Center.

Articles in free folios always available

Articles in folios published as Free are now displayed without a paywall in the web viewer even if the article is set to Protected or Metered. Before the v29 release, if a folio was published as Free, the paywall could be enabled and prevent users from viewing content. With free folios in v29 apps, the paywall never appears, even when enabled for the app.

Analytics enhancements

Base Analytics on the Dashboard is no longer beta. It is now localized and includes several bug fixes. In addition, SiteCatalyst analytics now includes tracking for auto started vs. user initiated overlays (iOS only).

Legacy Android viewer enhancements

The AIR-based Android viewer now supports Android 4.4. For Android viewers, pinch and zoom is now enabled for "flattened" articles set to Horizontal Swipe Only. This behavior is already supported on iOS viewers.

Welcome screen for iOS apps (Enterprise only)

The welcome screen is a transparent Web View that displays HTML content between the splash screen and the Library/Store. The HTML content you provide in DPS App Builder appears the first time customers launch the app after installing it or the first time they launch the app after it's updated. For example, you can use the welcome screen to encourage readers to create an account, accept terms-of-use, explore a preview issue, or orient them to the app. The welcome screen has full access to the Library/Store JavaScript API, and you have full control over the experience.

Use the "Optional Welcome Screen" option in DPS App Builder to specify the .zip file containing your HTML files. If your app supports both iPad and iPhone, your HTML files should display content that works on both device sizes. For instructions and sample HTML files, see Getting started

with a welcome screen in DPS Developer Center.

Social Sharing & Web Viewer improvements

Note the following changes to the DPS social sharing feature.

There is new behavior for protected articles. When a reader shares a protected article in a v29 app, the article URL is shared, not the Publication URL. If unentitled recipients tap or click the shared URL link, they see the Paywall page. This change affects both the desktop web viewer and the article viewer on the iPad. The Publication URL option in DPS App Builder has been removed from the Social Settings page for v29 apps. The Publication URL is still used in v28 and earlier apps.

The web viewer now supports audio files with AAC/MP4 encoding. The Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo social sharing options are now available in China. If publishers enable social sharing, their readers who

have set a Chinese Keyboard for their iPad or Phone on iOS 7 will see options for Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo will in the sharing activity sheet menu. Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo are supported only in devices running iOS 7, not iOS 6.

The Right Edge Binding feature is now supported in web viewer. If this option is selected, the first article is right-most in web viewer as well as on devices.

In an embedded web viewer, publishers can now allow external links to be displayed in a new browser tab or window. See the Adobe Content Viewer for Web SDK.

In an embedded web viewer, publishers can track when users navigate between pages. See the Adobe Content Viewer for Web SDK.

DPS App Builder enhancements

Note these changes in DPS App Builder.

The Social Sharing page was changed to reflect different behavior in iOS 6 and iOS 7. The Publication URL option was also removed for v29 apps.

(Enterprise) Push notifications are now supported in enterprise-signed apps. The mobileprovision file must have a non-wildcard Bundle ID. (Enterprise) The Label value in custom icons was removed. If you want to use different names for Viewer or Library, edit the customized

strings XML file. (Enterprise) The localized strings for custom icons no longer includes redundant sections. (Enterprise) "Optional iPhone Welcome Screen" is now called "Optional Welcome Screen." This option now supports iPad as well as iPhone.

Customer marketing improvements (Enterprise, iOS)

DPS now supports several API features designed to improve customer marketing. These features are available in both the Library/Store API and the Reading API, so they can be implemented in articles, stores, and other navigation webviews.

Publishers can use vendorIdentifier to track advertising campaigns. The vendor ID identifies the publisher. (Note that the advertisingIdentifier option that identifies each device was previously enabled and is no longer available at this time due to new Apple restrictions.)

Publishers can use canOpenURL to detect whether specific apps are installed using known URL schemes, allowing publishers to crosspromote apps more directly.

Publishers can use openExternal to launch an external URL from within a custom navigation webview. Publishers can specify a URL scheme with parameters to pass campaign and promotional codes from email, text, or websites and launch the

app directly into a navigation webview.

By combining these APIs, publishers can market their apps in a number of different ways. For example, publishers can collect data to determine which users have installed their apps but haven't subscribed. Publishers can then launch an email advertising campaign that offers a free 3-month subscription. Or, publishers can create a web overlay that checks if a different app is installed, and display different offers depending on whether users have downloaded that app and whether they have a subscription.

Improved behavior of apps with a large number of folios (Enterprise)

If an app includes a large number (such as 1,500) of folios, it takes a long time for the library to update. If you select a setting in DPS App Builder, you can use your entitlement server to control which folios are included when the custom library is updated.

Base analytics enhancements

In base analytics, you can select "Special Issues" as the publication frequency. When you select Special Issues, you can also set the Audience Accumulation start and end date. In addition, base analytics includes a number of bug fixes that improve data display.

Improved stability of Folio Producer Services

The most recent AWS migration introduced several problems with uploading and downloading content through the Folio Producer Service powered

by acrobat.com. The services will be updated to fix these issues.

Release 28

Text-based push notifications (iOS, Professional/Enterprise)

Using a third -party push notification service is no longer required to send text notifications to your customers. By sending custom text messages, you can encourage repeat readers and subscribers on iOS devices by alerting readers of new content. Text notifications work with any viewer version. In addition, you can use SiteCatalyst analytics to measure customer reaction to push notifications, including the number of readers who opt-in to receiving push alerts.

Baseline analytics improvements (beta version, English only)

The DPS Dashboard includes a new beta version of baseline analytics reports. With the new baseline analytics, you can view Standard Audience Accumulation metrics for digital readership that comply with the MPA Tablet Metrics guidelines. Newly available reports display data such as total readers, total sessions, total time spent per reader, average sessions per reader, devices, and operating system.

While analyzing data, you can change accumulation settings across standard metrics. With the redesigned interface, you can gain access to analytics and export report data to view in a spreadsheet.

Support for iOS 7

v28 apps include support for iOS 7. Note that on iOS 7 devices, any viewer created with v24 or earlier may perform poorly. In particular, folios with landscape orientation either fail to display or display poorly. For best results, update all DPS apps to v27 or v28.

Drop of support for iOS 5

Adobe DPS is dropping support for iOS 5. With this change, v28 apps will not run on iOS5, and by extension, on iPad 1 devices. If you want to continue supporting iPad 1 devices, make sure that you create folios that are compatible with the viewer version of the existing app (v27 or earlier).

iOS 7 requirements for DPS apps

With DPS App Builder, you can build v28 apps that comply with Apple iOS 7 design guidelines, including new light-colored user interface design themes. Consider the following iOS 7 requirements when designing and building your apps:

iOS 7 requires the system bar to be displayed in apps. When you build a v28 app, the 20 - or 40 -pixel system status bar now appears above the top navigation bar in all views, including folio view. When users tap to display the navigation bars, more of your design area is covered. Make necessary adjustments to your article layouts.

With iOS 7, the custom icons in the bottom Navigation toolbar (Enterprise only) work differently. When you build a v28 app with custom toolbar icons, you no longer provide three separate icons for Up, Down, and Disabled states. Instead, you provide a single PNG file with a transparent background, and iOS 7 changes the color of the display state automatically. (These files are 30x30 and 60x60 pixels.) You no longer need to embed the text label in the navigation icon. Instead, specify text in the Icon Label field in DPS App Builder, which appears below the custom icons. If your app supports multiple languages, you can localize this text. These new icons appear in the Navigation bar only if the icon is actionable. For example, the “Viewer” button does not appear until a folio is downloaded. If enabled, the Navigation toolbar is a few pixels taller than the Navigation toolbar in previous apps (12 pixels on SD iPads, 24 pixels on HD iPads). Again, make the necessary adjustments to your layouts. For more information about these icons, see Creating DPS apps for the iPad and iPhone.

For iOS 7, additional app icon sizes are required: 152x152 (iPad HD), 76x76 (iPad SD), and 120x120 (iPhone). These new icon files are required when you build either a v27 or v28 app in DPS App Builder.

DPS viewers include several UI changes for iOS 7. For example, the library background is much lighter than in previous versions, so check your cover images for appropriate contrast. If your app includes an article that describes how to use the app, you’ll likely want to update this help content.

Note that there are known problems with v24 and earlier apps working on iOS 7 devices. For best results, update existing apps to v27 or later.

AirDrop Support for iOS 7

With v28 apps on iOS 7 devices, you can share articles with people near you using AirDrop. When recipients receive shared article links via AirDrop on an iPad, they can take advantage of the new v28 Mobile Safari Web Viewer feature.

Mobile Safari Web Viewer (iPad only)

When an iPad user taps a link to an unprotected shared article, the shared article opens directly in the Mobile Safari Web Viewer. This feature lets share recipients view a web viewer version of the article with a single tap on the iPad rather than having to download the app. The Mobile Safari Web Viewer (also called “article viewer”) provides links to download the app or view the article if it's already downloaded on the iPad. In this initial release, some features such as certain overlay types are not yet supported.

Schedule Folio Availability Date

Define a specific date and time to make folio content available on the Distribution Service to app users, eliminating the need for production staff to manually push new content live.

You can also set Schedule Folio Availability Date information programmatically using the Folio Producer API (Enterprise only).

New default viewer version for folios

The default viewer version for folios is now v26 instead of v20. When you create a new folio, you can still target v20 through v28 viewer versions.

Camera API support

Use the device camera to allow users to take photographs from within your app, and either feature photos within your content or store them in the camera roll. For example, you can specify a frame image and allow users to take a picture (or specify an image from their Photos app) that appears within that frame.

Content on Android devices scaled up

In previous releases, smaller renditions in Android apps were not scaled up, causing both letterboxing and pillarboxing. With v28 AIR-based Android apps, smaller renditions are now scaled up proportionally.

Lock orientation option

DPS App Builder includes a new settings that lets you lock the orientation of your app so that the library and folio view are displayed in only one orientation.

SiteCatalyst analytics improvements

New SiteCatalyst reports are available for author metadata, which is useful for tracking specific authors or advertisers. Additional custom eVar tracking is also available. See the related analytics articles in the DPS Developer Center for details.

Web Viewer localized

The Content Viewer for the Web (web viewer) now includes support for 20 different languages.

Distribution Service performance improvements

Folios uploaded to the Adobe Distribution Service are now stored on faster and more reliable Amazon Web Service servers. You should notice significant improvements in publishing, updating, and downloading folios.

Release 27

Pinterest support in Social Sharing (iOS, Professional/Enterprise)

Pinterest is now one of the Social Sharing options in DPS App Builder. When selected, the Pinterest option appears in the drop- down social sharing menu of your app. Customers who view your app on an iPad or iPhone can pin the preview image of an article page to their pinboards. From Pinterest, readers can click the page image to experience interactive article content on a device or in the web viewer. You can set paywall limits on the number of articles available for viewing, as with other Social Sharing options.

Device GPS Integration (iOS, Professional/Enterprise)

With GPS integration, you can provide targeted content based on geographic location. In your app, you can add GPS logic to HTML content to achieve different purposes. Examples:

You can create a Web Content overlay or HTML article that displays different ads depending on where users are viewing the article. In your custom store (Enterprise only), you can display region-specific folios and entitle users to folios based on their location. In your custom library (Enterprise only), you can display region- specific banners.

Additional details: To enable GPS integration in a custom store or library, use the v2 custom story/library APIs. To enable GPS integration in a Web Content overlay or HTML article, use the Reading API. Also, select the “Allow Access to Entitlement Information” option if you enable GPS integration in a Web Content overlay or HTML article.

Social Sharing/Web Viewer Improvements (iOS, Professional/Enterprise)

Note the following enhancements:

In the web viewer, articles that have an article access state set to "Free" in Folio Producer can now be viewed in the desktop web viewer without counting against the paywall threshold. There has been no change to the behavior for metered or protected articles. Metered articles still count against the paywall threshold and protected articles are available only to entitled readers. (The Free, Metered, and Protected settings now have the same effect in both web viewer and free article preview.)

In previous versions, thumbnail images of protected articles in the web viewer TOC were grayed out and displayed a lock icon on mouse over. In addition, left and right navigation actions skipped over protected articles. With v27, the web viewer no longer makes a distinction between protected, free, or metered articles in the TOC and in navigation. All articles appear in the TOC without distinction, and navigating within a folio allows users to visit every article, including protected articles. Protected articles are obscured by a paywall message.

In the embedded web viewer, the sign -in process has been streamlined to provide publishers the ability to authenticate users on their own web site.

Android viewer improvements (Professional/Enterprise)

The AIR-based Android viewer includes the following enhancements:

The folio size dimension limit has increased from 2048x2048 to 4095x4095 pixels. This allows you to create folios that target larger devices

such as 10” HD Android tablets.

Splash screens you specify on Android devices are now scaled up or down proportionally to fill the target screen. For example, you can

specify 2560x1600 and 1600x2560 splash screens, which are scaled down (and cropped if the aspect ratio is different) for smaller devices. Icons and UI elements are now larger on XLarge Android devices such as 10” HD tablets, making it easier to tap buttons and navigate in

viewers on HD devices. Custom navigation icons (Enterprise only) can now be 75x43, 98x52, or 214x114 pixels.

The native (non-AIR) Android viewer is still being developed.

Copy Folio

A Copy command is now available in the Folio Producer Organizer. You can copy (duplicate) your own folio or you can copy a folio shared with you from a different account. Copying either a published or unpublished folio creates a new folio on the Folio Producer server (acrobat.com), not the Distribution Service. You can then edit and publish the copied folio. If the folio was shared with you from a different computer, you need to obtain the source files and relink the articles in order to edit and update articles. Locked folios cannot be copied.

New "auto-open" option in DPS App Builder

"Auto-open latest entitled folio after download" is a new option in DPS App Builder. If "Auto-download latest entitled folio on first launch" is selected, the "Auto-open" option is selected by default so that first-time readers can download the app and start reading right away. If you turn off the "Auto-open" option, users see the folio being downloaded in the library, but the folio doesn't open until they tap the cover image. This allows publishers to provide a message in the banner that lets first-time users know that they're receiving a free folio.

Article Preview enhancements

Article Preview now supports Metered articles in addition to Free articles within preview folios. When a reader navigates to a metered article within a preview folio, a "Read Article" button will be displayed on the purchase pane, allowing the reader to tap and download the metered article to their device as part of their preview experience. The number of metered articles the reader can view is controlled by the device paywall threshold set by the publisher.

In addition, there are several UI improvements to free article preview. For example, the preview images of protected articles now appear behind a dark mesh pattern. Browse thumbnails now have a gradient treatment applied, and browse thumbnails are displayed for all pages of “flattened” articles (Horizontal Swiping Only) in both browse mode and as preview Images behind the mesh treatment in folio view.

Analytics improvements (Professional/Enterprise with SiteCatalyst account)

SiteCatalyst reports now include information on purchases by reader subscription type (new or renewal), term length of subscription (1 month, 6 months, and so on), and purchases by app marketplace. SiteCatalyst also reports the number of readers that opt in to receive push notifications. In addition, tracking of slideshow and scrollable frame overlays is more detailed.

Additional changes

Other v27 improvements include:

Privacy Policy is now enabled for the iPhone as well as the iPad. You can specify a Privacy Policy URL in DPS App Builder. The sidecar.xml now supports Article Access settings, which means you can import the sidecar.xml file to apply Free/Metered/Protected

settings to each article in the folio. Links in the Library/Store v2 API can now display a separated web view window (also called an “in-app browser”) within the app that has a

Close button. The HTML in this web view window can still reference the APIs.

Release 26

Free Article Preview (iPad only)

You can allow customers to preview content in a retail folio. Users can tap the Preview button to download and read all free articles. When a user navigates to other articles in the app, a paywall prompts them to purchase the folio. To enable Free Article Preview in a retail folio, select the "Enable Article Preview" setting in the Account Administration Tool, and use the Folio Producer Editor to mark specific articles as Free. (Free Article Preview is iPad-only and currently does not work with folios that have Sections.)

Note: To apply the "Free" setting to articles in legacy folios, you need to update the folio viewer version to v26 or later AND update the articles within that folio.

PDF article support in both Android Viewer and Desktop Viewer

PDF articles are now supported on Android devices and in the Desktop Viewer. On Android viewers, you can take advantage of the PDF format to reduce file size, reuse iOS folios that have PDF articles, and use pinch & zoom on article pages. In the Desktop Viewer, you can now preview folios that have PDF articles, which is especially useful to preflight your folio for errors.

The app version needs to be v26 or later to display PDF articles, but the folio with PDF articles can be any version. (Note that this is a change to the existing AIR-based Android viewer, not to the native Android viewer that is currently in development. In addition,

PDF support on Android does not include displaying PDF files in the in-app browser.)

iPad library improvements

Icons now appear beneath each cover preview image in the library so that users can see which content is free or retail without an extra tap.

Tapping a button with a price initiates a purchase. Tapping the free button or the cloud button initiates a download. A cloud icon appears if a user is entitled to a retail folio that hasn't been downloaded.

Tapping the cover preview image itself still displays a preview pane with additional information. If a custom library is configured to display only entitled folios, the preview pane does not appear when tapping the cover image.

(Enterprise only) If your custom library displays only folios to which your customers are entitled, no preview pane appears. Tapping a cover image begins to download the folio.

Full iPhone 5 support

You can now create 1136x640 folio renditions to avoid letterboxing content on the iPhone 5. In DPS App Builder, you must specify an additional 640x1136 launch image (splash screen) to comply with Apple requirements for iPhone 5 apps.

DPS App Builder enhancements

DPS App Builder includes the following changes:

Asset links are now stored on the server, allowing you to use different computers to build the app without having to relink to copied assets. For example, an agency can go through DPS App Builder to specify most of the settings and files, and the client can then complete the app by specifying the certificates. When you edit an existing viewer, an "Asset stored on the server" message appears in the text field. Storing assets works only for an individual app; you cannot store assets on the server for use across multiple apps.

(Enterprise) When you create a custom store that takes advantage of new API features, creating a custom library is no longer required. (Enterprise) If you want to continue using an older store that you've created, you can select Use Legacy Store APIs in DPS App Builder.

However, if you select this option, you cannot specify a custom library. The "Enable hot zone to display folio view controls" option now includes a hot zone at both the top and bottom of screen, not just the bottom. There is a new option for specifying an optional privacy policy URL that appears in the library settings menu. Optional URL Scheme is now available for single-folio apps.

Analytics opt-in improvement

If you configure the viewer to allow users to opt out of analytics data, they have the option to change their mind and opt in using the settings menu. This is supported in both iOS and Android viewers.

Web Viewer enhancements

Web Viewer now includes the following improvements:

Embedded Web Viewer. You can now embed shared Web Viewer articles in your Web site with new support for iframe HTML tags in DPS. Include surrounding design elements that convey a consistent, branded experience for your customers..

Web Viewer-only folio. You can create a special folio rendition for the Web Viewer that appears only in the Web Viewer browser, not on the device viewer. For example, you can create a 1024x580 folio that displays only a horizontal orientation, uses terminology such as "click" instead of "tap," and replaces an unsupported panorama with a static image. See Creating a Web Viewer rendition.

Custom stores and custom Libraries are now supported in Web Viewer. Integrate a Custom Store and Custom Library within the Web Viewer to feature special content, offers, or promotions.

Optional privacy policy URL. You can configure a web link to your app's privacy policy. This is supported in both iOS and Android Viewers. Web Viewer analytics. Analytics data is now enabled for the Web Viewer. Horizontal Swipe Only support (added in v25). The Web Viewer now displays "flattened" articles that have Horizontal Swipe Only selected.

New and enhanced Fulfillment Reports

The Fulfillment Report on the DPS Dashboard gives publishers easy-to-understand details related to the downloads of their folio content. The Fulfillment Report now includes additional data fields to make it easier to build informative pivot tables that show how many downloads for each publication, per issue, with a total for all downloads and a breakout showing web viewer downloads separately. A new Consolidated Fulfillment Report (currently called "Rollup Report") gives administrators the fulfillment data for all publications associated with their account. Finally, all report data is now recorded daily instead of weekly.

Online purchase of fulfillment bundles

A new online purchase option for 10,000 Fulfillment Bundles makes it easy for publishers to ensure their account is always in good standing. Fulfillment renewals placed through a reseller or directly from Adobe can sometimes take a few days to process. To provide a faster purchase option, publishers can now buy a serial number for a 10,000 fulfillment bundle through the Adobe Store and redeem that serial number through the DPS Dashboard.

Analytics improvements

Note the following improvements to analytics:

Complete articles read. You can track how many readers completely read articles in a single visit. TOC tracking. You can track taps on the TOC button and also identify which articles are discovered through the TOC. Readers that are directly entitled by publishers. You can get data about readers who sign in to the app and obtain folios through direct entitlement.

You can optionally return the reader's subscriber ID and subscriber type through the direct entitlement API. The subscriber type and subscriber ID

values are passed to SiteCatalyst so that you can track how these subscribers engage with the folio.

Free Article Preview. When customers tap the "Preview" button to preview the issue, the number of preview button taps and the free articles that

get previewed are tracked. The number of conversions after the issue is previewed is also tracked. Omniture Visitor ID and Push notification token. For each reader, an Omniture visitor ID and push notification token (if the reader has opted in to

receiving push notifications) is added to SiteCatalyst. Web Viewer: Web Viewer information is tracked.

First Folio Free API improvement

Enterprise publishers can now use the custom library API to configure the subscription banner to display messaging depending on whether the reader is a subscriber and can appropriately provide messaging that supports the latest free retail issue feature.

Release 25

Library UI improvements (iPad only)

The iPad viewer library was redesigned to include larger grid cover images. Tapping a cover image of a downloaded folio opens the folio. Tapping a cover image of a folio not yet downloaded opens a preview pane. Readers can use the gear menu button to select and remove folios.

Folio view includes several changes. The Home button is now the Library button in multi-folio apps. The function of the Browse button and the bottom scroll bar are now combined. Use the scroll bar to swipe through articles in browse mode. The arrows next to the scroll bar that jump to the next or previous article have been removed.

In DPS App Builder, you can also remove the Subscribe and Sign In buttons that appear in the upper left corner of the library in Enterprise subscription apps. The redesign requires larger subscription tile images for subscription apps.

First retail folio free

By selecting an option in the Account Administration tool, publishers can make the most recently published retail folio available to users who download the app for the first time.

Conditional HTML content (Enterprise only)

Designed to be used with the first folio free feature, this feature enables a publisher to create either an HTML article or a Web Content overlay that displays different content depending on how the folio was obtained. For example, if a user downloads a complimentary folio, the content can include a subscription offer. If a user obtains the folio through a subscription, the content can offer additional products.

To set up this conditional HTML content, do two things. First, select the Allow Access to Entitlement Information option for the Web Content overlay or the HTML article. Second, add a custom JavaScript API to your HTML code. For more information about this JavaScript API, contact your Adobe representative.

Auto-download latest entitled issue

When this DPS App Builder setting is selected, the most recent entitled issue is downloaded automatically—either the first free retail folio if enabled or the most recently published free folio. The purpose of this option is to provide a better experience for first-time app users.

Automatically open background-downloaded issue

When this DPS App Builder setting is selected, any folio that is downloaded in the background since the previous viewing session opens on app launch. If this option is not selected, the most recently viewed folio is opened in its last reading position

Open folio to last -read article

When you switch between folios, the previously viewed folio is no longer reset. Instead, the viewer remembers the reading position of all folios. To reset a folio, display the navigation bars in an article and triple-tap the title bar.

Dynamic subscriptions (Enterprise only)

Publishers can add or remove subscription options on an ongoing basis without having to update the app. This allows publishers to evaluate subscription durations to determine the best set of options.

Streamlined testing of Amazon apps

When you use DPS App Builder to create an app (.apk file) for Amazon, you can now load and test the .apk file on the Amazon device without having to load a separate .json file. Using a .json file is now required only to test retail content.

Local storage support on Android apps

In previous versions, Android viewers did not support local storage. Quitting an app resulted in losing the reading position or form fill-in data. With v25 Android apps, this information is now preserved, as it is in iOS apps.

goto:// navigation

The goto:// format lets Enterprise publishers create links in folio view to any custom icon content in the library. For example, if you create a custom icon in DPS App Builder with a “Store” label, you can create a button with a “goto://ApplicationViewState/Store” action that automatically opens the Store HTML content—just like tapping the custom Store icon.

Hide top navigation bar

When this DPS App Builder setting is selected, only the bottom navigation bar is displayed when a user taps an article. This enables publishers to create a persistent navigation bar on all article pages for navigating within the folio.

Automated workflow API improvements (Enterprise only)

When using APIs for automated DPS publishing workflows, you can now publish and update folios and update article metadata (updating articles is planned for a future release).

SiteCatalyst analytics improvements

SiteCatalyst includes enhancements such as reporting the playback duration of videos.

Generate fulfillment download reports

Publishers can now generate reports to view download data from the Adobe Distribution Service. If you sign in to the DPS Dashboard using an Application account, you can choose the Fulfillment Report option to download a .csv file that includes billable download statistics from the Adobe Distribution Service for that app. If you sign in using an Admin account, you can click a link in the Dashboard to obtain a report that shows your fulfillment download balance.

iOS4 no longer supported

The v25 and later viewers no longer support iOS4—only iOS5 or later.

Release 24

Library background downloading (iOS)

When your customers are downloading any folio in a v24 app, they can leave the app, check email or view a different folio, and then come back later to find the folio downloaded. Note that the download pauses after ten minutes. Only one folio can be downloaded at a time.

Update multiple articles at a time

You can select multiple articles in the Folio Builder panel and choose Update to update all the selected

articles. To select articles, Shift-click or Ctrl/Command-click the articles.

Sections

The new Sections feature will eventually allow your customers to download individual sections of a folio. For example, you can divide a folio into News, Sports, Business, Style, and Money sections, and your customers could download only the articles in the Sports and Money sections if they so choose. See Create Sections.

Disable Cover View in iPad viewer library

By default, all iPad viewer libraries include both a Grid View and a Cover View, which displays only one folio at a time. With the v24 DPS App Builder, you can select an option to include only the Grid View or both the Grid View and Cover View on iPads. (With Android viewers, you can already choose Grid View, Cover View, or both.)

DPS UI enhancements

When you create a folio, an Orientation setting is no longer selected by default. If you click OK without selecting an Orientation setting, a red box appears around the option. This change should help avoid mistakenly creating a folio with an incorrect orientation setting.

In addition, many error messages now include links that direct you to a tech note.

Folio publishing enhancements

When a folio fails to publish properly due to a server error, you can click a Retry button to resume the

publishing process after the server issue is resolved.

Improvements to DPS servers

The bandwidth of the Adobe Distribution Service has been increased, resulting in improved stability and

performance. In addition, DPS servers are now in a separate cluster on acrobat.com, allowing folios to be uploaded and downloaded even if acrobat.com is

undergoing maintenance.

“Restore Purchases” change

The “Restore Purchases” dialog box now appears only when users choose Restore Purchases from the library

options menu.

Enable caching of folio information in library (iOS)

In DPS App Builder, you can cache folio information to improve performance for apps with large libraries. Note that selecting this option can cause folio information to become out of date. For example, if you select this option and change the cost of retail folios, your library will display misleading information. This option is currently available only for subscription apps.

Improvements for Enterprise-signed apps (iOS, Enterprise only)

You can now sign an in-house application with an enterprise mobileprovision

file that contains an explicit (non-wildcard) application ID. This change lets you manage the application independently from other apps in your

organization.

Analytics enhancments

SiteCatalyst now makes a distinction between different types of mobile devices and different operating systems. A new URL tracking report allows you to track actual URLs, URL clicks, the source of the URL (Hyperlink overlay, Web Content overlay, or application) and how the URL is opened (in Web Wiewer, in application viewer, or in device browser). App usage reports let you track peak day/time usage of the apps and number of launches since last update. These changes affect only SiteCatalyst analytics, not baseline analytics.

Release 23

Updated Distribution Service infrastructure

Publishing folios to the Distribution Service is now significantly faster. These server changes should

result in fewer timeout errors and increased reliability in background downloads for iOS Newsstand.

Folio Builder panel UI improvements

The Folio Builder panel is wider, the navigation icons are larger and more intuitive, there are more tooltips and information bubbles, options are renamed for clarity, and other improvements make the panel easier to use. You can also launch the DPS App Builder (previously called Viewer Builder) from the panel menu.

Changes to DPS App Builder (previously called Viewer Builder)

The DPS App Builder includes several interface improvements. The InDesign

CS6 installer now installs the DPS App Builder.

Drag and drop files into DPS App Builder

Choice between vector and bitmap for slideshows and scrollable frames (iOS only)

You can now drag and drop icons, splash screens, and other files from Finder into App Builder.

In overlays for PDF articles, you can select Vector or Bitmap. Vector images look sharper but require a small load time. For overlays in JPG/PNG articles, slideshows and scrollable frames are always bitmap.

Multi-rendition articles (iOS only)

You can now create PDF articles that look great and perform well on both SD and HD versions of devices. When creating overlays, you can include both SD and HD assets in the folio. The viewer uses the appropriate overlay assets for the specific iOS device.

If you’re creating a single-folio app, you can create a folio using PDF articles that work well for all iPad models. If you’re creating a multi- folio app, you can choose between creating multi-rendition articles in a folio or creating separate folio renditions. See Creating multi-rendition PDF articles for iOS devices.

Unlimited Single Edition folios with Creative Cloud membership (iPad only)

With an Adobe Creative Cloud membership, you can create

unlimited single-folio apps for the iPad.

Play audio in background (iOS only)

Audio clip can play while users browse through articles in the folio. An audio button appears in the top

navigation bar to let users pause and play the audio. See Audio & Video overlays.

Stop on Last Frame (iOS only)

Disable controls for inline videos (iOS only)

The Folio Overlays panel now includes an option for stopping the inline video at the last frame.

If you create an inline video set to Auto Play, you can select the Do Not Allow Pause option to

disable playback controls. This feature is especially useful for cover videos.

New Adobe Content Viewer behavior for invalid folios

In previous releases, invalid folios failed to appear in the Adobe Content Viewer. With the new release, invalid folios appear in the library and result in an error message on download. This change improves the Adobe Content Viewer library performance and provides more detailed preflighting information. For example, if you create a dual-orientation folio with one or more singleorientation articles, the error message indicates the problem rather than leaving you to guess.

PDF support for Smooth Scrolling articles (iOS only)

You can use the PDF image format for Smooth Scrolling articles regardless of their

length. However, article pinch and zoom is not supported in any Smooth Scrolling article.

“Rate the App” option

When you create a custom viewers, you can select an option that allows a “Rate the App” prompt to appear. You can

customize settings for this feature in the DPS App Builder.

Hot Zones for displaying navigation bars

In addition to the hot zones on the sides of the article page, there is a new hot zone option for the bottom of the article page. Tapping in the hot zone area at the bottom of the page displays the navigation bars (also called the “HUD”). Tapping anywhere above the bottom hot zone does not display the navigation bars. See App Details panel.

Buttons take precedence over the bottom hot zone, the bottom hot zone takes precedence over the side hot zones, and hot zones take precedence over all non-button overlays.

Go To Next/Previous Page support

Analytics opt out option

In the DPS App Builder, you can allow your customers to turn off analytics while using your app. This option is

When you create a button, the Go To Next Page and Go To Previous Page actions are now supported.

especially useful in certain regions with strict controls over data collection.

Customizable viewer strings

You can customize all strings stored in the viewer in all supported languages, including button text in the library and text in dialog boxes. The DPS App Builder lets you download an XML template. You can then edit this XML file and specify it while building your app. See App Details panel.

Social Sharing enhancements (iOS only)

Note the following Social Sharing improvements. See Using social sharing.

Support for Web Viewer direct entitlement (Enterprise only). When customers hit the paywall limit in Web Viewer, they can now sign in using their subscription account to continue viewing articles.

Web Viewer supports Internet Explorer 10/Windows 8. You can also set up a paywall for free folios. The Web Viewer supports all overlays except for panoramas and audio clips. If you create a 1024x768 folio using PDF image format, the content is now uploaded to the Web Viewer server in PNG format.

New Step- by-Step Publishing Guide for Single Edition

When you click the link on the Dashboard to download the DPS Publishing Companion Guide, a .zip file is downloaded that contains both the Companion Guide for Professional and Enterprise publishers and a Step-by-Step Publishing Guide for Single Edition users. You can also download both the Companion Guide and the Step-by-Step Guide from the Help menu in DPS App Builder. In the near future, the Pro/Enterprise Companion Guide will be updated with the new design.

Release 22

Library Filters

If you create v22 folios or later, you can use the Folio Producer Organizer to specify a filter category for each folio, such as “English,” “Spanish,” “French,” and “German.” In your viewer library, users can then choose filter options. For example, they can display only Spanish and German folios and hide English and French folios in the viewer library. See Create library filters.

Custom HTML library

Enterprise publishers can create their own library instead of using the default viewer library. See Creating a custom library

(Enterprise).

Hot Zone enhancements

Both Enterprise and Professional publishers can now enable Hot Zones in DPS App Builder. Hot Zones let users tap the edges of the article to browse to the next or previous articles. The logic for overriding overlays has also changed. Hot Zones take precedent over all overlays with the exception of buttons. See App Details panel.

Strict renditions for Android 7" devices

By default, viewers on Android devices display folios of any size. To ensure that the viewer displays only folios that match the device size, you can select an option in Viewer Builder. At this time, strict renditions displays only 1024x600 folios for devices such as the Kindle Fire and 1280x800 folios for XLarge Android devices. This option is primarily useful for preventing unwanted folio renditions from appearing on Kindle Fire devices. If you have created Android renditions such as 1232x752 folios, do not turn on strict renditions when you create the viewer for the Android marketplace. See Create a custom viewer app for Android and Amazon devices.

Auto Hide Scrollbars

By default, a 6 -pixel scrollbar area appears on the right side of articles in a folio. If you select this option in Viewer Builder,

the scrollbar appears only when the user is scrolling in the article. See Viewer Details panel.

HTML video improvements

You can now make videos in HTML articles behave like video overlays. For example, rotating the device in a single-

orientation HTML article also rotates the full-screen video. See Import HTML articles.

AIR captive runtime in Android viewers

Instead of relying on AIR to be installed on Android devices, viewers now include a built-in version of

AIR (3.2 or later). While this change increases the size of viewers from about 2 MB to 10 MB, it should improve stability and performance.

Improvements to Android viewer UI

especially on the Kindle Fire.

Icons and other UI elements in library view and folio view are now larger, making it easier to tap icons,

Two-finger swiping enabled for iOS

The two-finger swipe gesture is now enabled for iPad and iPhone viewers. This gesture is especially useful for “flattened” articles in which Horizontal Swipe Only is enabled, allowing readers to bypass the rest of the article pages to jump to the next or previous article.

Social Sharing enhancements

Note the following Social Sharing improvements. See Using social sharing. Social Sharing is now supported in iPhone viewers. Rendition mapping is now supported. When the shared article is viewed in a desktop web browser, only 1024x768 PNG or JPG articles

appear properly in the Web Viewer. In previous versions, any folio shared from an iPad HD rendition (2048x1536) could not be viewed in Web Viewer. If you create renditions for iOS devices, sharing the article from any device will now map to the 1024x768 version of the article in Web Viewer. For best results, make sure that your renditions are set up properly and that your Article Name values are identical in each folio rendition.

Facebook deep-linking is now supported. When a customer views the wall post in the Facebook app on an iPad, tapping the article link opens the article directly. Make sure that you enable deep linking when configuring your app on the Facebook developer site. See Setting up

a DPS App for Social Networking.

The new Enable Fulfillment Limit option in the Account Administration tool lets you limit the number of article views in Web Viewer, similar to a “Sold Out” feature. See Account Administration tool.

The Web Viewer now supports scrollable frames. Enabling a paywall affects only retail folios.

Release 21

Viewer Version control

When you create a new folio using the v21 Folio Builder panel, you can target either the v20 or v21 viewer version. This option is especially useful if either the newest version of the Adobe Content Viewer is awaiting approval or if you’re creating folios for a v20 viewer app. By default, the v20 version is selected. If you create a v20 folio, you can edit the folio’s properties to update it to v21. However, you cannot roll back a v21 folio to v20. You also cannot specify a viewer version earlier than v20. See Create a folio.

Preview on Device for active layout (iOS)

Before v21, Preview on Device was available only for entire folios. With v21, you can now use Preview on Device in the Folio Overlays panel to preview the current layout (iOS only). Connect your iPad or iPhone to your computer and open the Adobe Content Viewer app. In the Folio Overlays panel, choose Preview on [device name]. See Use Preview on Device.

Social Sharing improvements

Several Social Sharing limitations have been addressed. Nested overlays, buttons, videos, HTML articles, and scrollable frames now work much better in the Web Viewer. In addition, the Web Viewer now displays articles marked as Advertisement or Hide from TOC properly. See Using social sharing.

You can use the Account Administration tool to turn off Web Viewer while still enabling social sharing through the iPad. See Account Administration tool.

Auto-view during folio download

When the Download or Buy button is tapped in the viewer library, the viewer displays the folio while remaining articles continue to download. Before this release, the View button became active during download, but the user had to tap it to begin viewing the folio.

Auto-download on subscription purchase

When a user successfully subscribes to a viewer app, the most recent folio begins downloading

automatically. Users no longer need to tap the Download button.

Cover Date

The Cover Date option is now available in the Folio Producer Organizer. This option gives Enterprise publishers additional metadata

control in direct entitlement of subscription content.

Release 20

InDesign CS6 includes several new features that simplify creating InDesign source files. With the Alternate Layout
