Chapter 1: Getting started

Before you begin working with your software, take a few moments to read an overview of Adobe® Help and of the
many resources available to users. You have access to instructional videos, plug-ins, templates, user communities,
seminars, tutorials, RSS feeds, and much more.

Adobe Help

Adobe Help resources

Documentation for your Adobe software is available in a variety of formats.

In-product and LiveDocs Help

In-product Help provides access to all documentation and instructional content available at the time the software
ships. It is available through the Help menu in your Adobe software.

LiveDocs Help includes all the content from in-product Help, plus updates and links to additional instructional
content available on the web. For some products, you can also add comments to the topics in LiveDocs Help. Find
LiveDocs Help for your product in the Adobe Help Resource Center, at www.adobe.com/go/documentation.

1

Most versions of in-product and LiveDocs Help let you search across the Help systems of multiple products. Topics
may also contain links to relevant content on the web or to topics in the Help of another product.

Think of Help, both in the product and on the web, as a hub for accessing additional content and communities of
users. The most complete and up-to-date version of Help is always on the web.

PDF documentation

The in-product Help is also available as a PDF that is optimized for printing. Other documents, such as installation
guides and white papers, may also be provided as PDFs.

All PDF documentation is available through the Adobe Help Resource Center, at www.adobe.com/go/documen-

tation.Tosee the PDF documentation includedwith your software, look in the Documents folder onthe installation

or content DVD.

Printed documentation

Printed editions of the in-product Help are available for purchase in the Adobe Store, at www.adobe.com/go/store.
You can also find books published by Adobe publishing partners in the Adobe Store.

A printed workflow guide is included with all Adobe Creative Suite® 3 products, and stand-alone Adobe products
may include a printed getting started guide.

Using Help in the product

In-productHelpisavailablethroughtheHelpmenu.AfteryoustarttheAdobeHelpViewer,clickBrowsetoseeHelp
for additional Adobe products installed on your computer.

These Help features facilitate cross-product learning:

• Topics may contain links to the Help systems of other Adobe products or to additional content on the web.

DEVICE CENTRAL

User Guide

• Some topics are shared across two or more products. For instance, if you see a Help topic with a Photoshop® icon

and an AfterEffects® icon, you know that thetopic eitherdescribes functionality thatis similar in the two products
or describes cross-product workflows.

• You can search across the Help systems of multiple products.

If you search for a phrase, such as “shape tool,” enclose it in quotation marks to see only those topics that include all
the words in the phrase.

Accessibility features

Adobe Help content is accessible to people with disabilities—such as mobility impairments, blindness, and low
vision. In-product Help supports these standard accessibility features:

• The user can change text size with standard context menu commands.

• Links are underlined for easy recognition.

• If link text doesn’t match the title of the destination, the title is referenced in the Title attribute of the Anchor tag.

For example, the Previous and Next links include the titles of the previous and next topics.

• Content supports high-contrast mode.

• Graphics without captions include alternate text.

• Each frame has a title to indicate its purpose.

• Standard HTML tags define content structure for screen reading or text-to-speech tools.

• Style sheets control formatting, so there are no embedded fonts.

Chapter 2: Introducing Adobe Device Central

Adobe Device Centraloffers anew way for developersof mobilecontent to test their work on a widevariety ofmobile
devices. Device Central works with content developed on many different Adobe products as well.

Using Adobe Device Central

About Adobe Device Central

Adobe® Device Centralprovides mobile content developersand testers with an easy way to create and preview mobile
content on a variety of devices. Adobe Device Central displays realistic skins of a wide range of mobile devices that
showyouwhatthedeviceslooklikeandhowyourcontentappearsonthosedevices.Thisenablesyoutointeractwith
the emulated devices in a way that simulates real-world interactions, including testing different performance levels,
memory, battery power levels, and types of lighting.

Adobe Device Central provides a library of devices to choose from. Each device has a profile that contains infor­mation about the device, including the media and content types it supports (that is, the content that can be used on
an individual device such as screen savers, wallpaper, andstand-alone Adobe Flash® Player). You can search through
available devices, compare multiple devices, and create custom sets of the devices you use most.

Adobe Device Central supports different media formats including Adobe Flash®, bitmap, video, and web formats.
You can use different media formats to create different types of content such as screen savers or wallpaper.

Work area components

The following are the main components of the Adobe Device Central work area:

Device Sets panel Initially displays a default set of generic devices named Example FL Phones. In most cases, the

devices available for testing depend on the content type specified when you create or preview mobile content, or use
the emulator. If originatingfrom Flash, anadditional device set appears that contains the devices specified when you
create the FLA file. (Thenew Flash-specific device set is named after theFLA file.) To createcustom device sets,drag
icons (or copy and paste) from the Available Devices list into the Device Sets panel. Over time, you will probably
create custom sets to test content and projects. To share device sets among team members, import and export sets.

When you create a mobile document for Flash using Adobe Device Central and select one or more devices in the
Available Devices list, a new device set is created and listed in the Device Sets panel the next time you test that file
in the emulator.

DEVICE CENTRAL

User Guide

If you are working with a device set and testing content, the individual device shown in the Emulator tab is always
listed in the Device Sets panel with a special icon .

Available Devices panel ShowsallthemobiledevicesthatareinstalledwithAdobeDeviceCentral.Youcanthinkof

the Available Devices panel as a repository of devices that you can use to test content.

By default, the devices in the Available Devices panel are grouped by manufacturer and sorted by name. To group
the devices using different criteria, click the Group By pop-up menu and choose from the list. If you select None,
all available devices are shown as one list, sorted alphabetically by name.

In each group, devices are, by default, listed alphabetically by name and additional columns provide information
specific to each device. To see all information, move the slider to the right until the Name, Display Size, Flash Lite,
and Color Depth columns appear.

To sort devices in a group, click a column header. For example, you can group by manufacturer, and in the manufac­turer groups you can click a header, such as color depth, to have color depth sorting applied in all the manufacturer
groups.

Device Profiles tab Shows detailed information about devices. Different screens show general information and

specific details for Flash, bitmap, video, and web. The Device Profiles tab can show one or multiple devices. (The
same information is displayed about a device whether you view the device individually or as part of the multiple
view.)

8

When one device is shown on the tab, the first line of information across the top lists the media types that the device
supports, such as General, Flash, Bitmap, Video, and Web. Click a media type to show a second line of information
that lists the content types supported (for instance, click on the media type Bitmap and the content types Fullscreen,
Screen Saver, and Wallpaper might appear). The Generic mobile phones in the Available Devices panel always show
all of the media types in the Device Profiles panel, but they support only the stand-alone Flash Player content type.

WhenyouselectmultipledevicestoviewontheDeviceProfilestab,youcanchangetheorderinwhichthedevices
are displayed by dragging devices to a new location on thetab. (You can alsodrag anydevice from the Device Profiles
tab into a set in the Device Sets panel.)

New Document tab Displays the interface for creating a mobile document in Flash, Adobe Photoshop®, or Adobe

Illustrator®. This tab appears when you issue the command to create a mobile document in one of the three applica­tions listed. For example, in Flash the command is Create New > Flash Mobile Document. (Alternatively, you can
createaFlashfileanddisplaytheNewDocumenttabfromAdobeDeviceCentralbyselectingFile>NewDocument

in Flash the command is Control > Test Movie. Only one device can be emulated at a time. To select a different
device, double-click a device name in the Device Sets panel or the Available Devices panel.

Testing panels A number of collapsible panels for testing and performance tuning appear on the right of the

emulator window. The panels that appear depend on what type of file you are testing:

•

Content Type (Flash, Adobe Dreamweaver®, Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe After Effects®, and Adobe® Premiere® Pro)

• File Info (Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Adobe Premiere Pro)

• Display (Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Adobe Premiere Pro)
