Adobe DPS nieuws!

.
Heet van de naald, nieuwe opties in een nieuwe release van Adobe DPS!
Maar let op: dit vereist een nieuwe viewer op tablets/iPad en die staat nu nog niet in de iTunes App Store. Even geduld oefenen lijkt dus aangeraden!

Net twee trainingen DPS bij Opatel gedaan en daar al in het begin van de lessen gezegd: het zijn gereedschappen die in ontwikkeling zijn! Wat vandaag nog niet kan, kan misschien opeens morgen wel.
Welnu: het is morgen!

Maar vooral deze klinkt goed: pinch and zoom with all overlays.
Maar: PDF-based articles are still available only on iPad viewers, not the desktop viewer or other AIR-based viewers. Via de optie Bestand > Voorvertoning van Folio of de Preview-knop in het Overlay Creator deelvenster kun je echter de pagina (inDesign-document) wel testen (maar niet pagina zoomen testen), alleen niet het artikel (liggend en staand) vanuit de Folio Builder.
Ook leuk: Preview on Device support for iPad!


Vanaf de vorige update kun je ook lokaal op je harde schijf werken. Stel je werkt op je laptop: als je nou je bestanden in de cloud hebt gezet  dan zat je voor updates naar die cloud vast aan je laptop, anders raakte Folio Builder de link kwijt naar het InDesign bestand. Dat is nu opgelost! Wanneer je de InDesign documenten bijvoorbeeld vanaf je laptop naar je desktop hebt gekopieerd dan kun je nu in de Folio Builder met de optie Relink (Opnieuw Koppelen) kiezen en naar de desktop-bestanden linken. Nu zijn de bestanden in de cloud weer simpel bij te werken bij wijzigingen.


Het nieuwe Folio panel is nu downloadbaar, de Folio Producer download komt morgen de 17e. Wanneer Apple de nieuwe Viewer op de iPad toelaat is dus nog niet bekend.
Hou dit dus nog even aan: If you do not have a Pro or Enterprise account, you may want to wait until Apple approves the new viewer before you update your Folio Producer tools.

Digital Publishing Suite will be releasing new features and functionality Monday January 16 at 5:00 PM Pacific Coast time and Tuesday January 17 at noon. While the acrobat.com server is being updated, you may not be able to use the Folio Producer tools. New features include embedded overlays in slideshows, enhanced buttons that support sound/video actions, article relink, PDF pinch and zoom with all overlays, custom-created Adobe Content Viewer, and more. I'll post a more complete list after the update, or you can look at What's new in this release when help is updated.

Again, note that there are two separate installers: one for the Folio Producer tools and one for the Folio Builder panel. If you created a custom viewer using a previous set of tools and don't want to update your viewer app, install only the Folio Builder panel to stay in sync with the updated web client. If you want to update all your tools, install the Folio Producer tools first, and then install the Folio Builder panel. For this release, updating the Folio Builder panel is recommended but not required. See Installing digital publishing tools.

The v18 file format is a change from the previous file format, so any folio you create with the newest set of tools will not work with the current Adobe Content Viewer (2.2) or with custom viewer apps. Trying to open a folio results in a "Please update your app" message. However, if you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can use the Viewer Builder to create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer so that you don't have to wait for Apple to approve. If you do not have a Pro or Enterprise account, you may want to wait until Apple approves the new viewer before you update your Folio Producer tools.

NIEUW:

Embedded overlays in slideshows
Interactive objects are now supported in multi-state objects. All interactive objects (except other slideshows) are supported in slideshow states.

Enhanced button overlays
The Video and Sound actions are now supported, so you can use buttons to play, pause, and stop videos. In addition, multiple actions are also supported in sequence. For example, a button can now play an audio clip and then change to a new slide when the audio ends.

MSO buttons in scrollable frames
Button actions that trigger the state of a multi-state object now work in scrollable frames. Note that when you paste the content frame into the container frame, the state action is removed, so you need to add the action again after pasting.

PDF pinch and zoom with all overlays
When you create a PDF article, you can pinch and zoom on any page even if it includes interactive objects. You can even pinch and zoom while an overlay is playing. PDF-based articles are still available only on iPad viewers, not the desktop viewer or other AIR-based viewers. When creating or updating your custom viewer, remember to select the “PDF Zooming Enabled” option in the Viewer Builder.

Custom-created Adobe Content Viewer
If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can use the Viewer Builder to create your own version of the Adobe Content Viewer for the iPad. The ability to build your own custom Content Viewer offers two advantages. First, when a new version of the Folio Producer tools becomes available, you can test the new features while the Adobe Content Viewer is awaiting approval. Second, the Preview on Device feature is enabled in the custom Adobe Content Viewer.

Preview on Device support for iPad
When you use the Viewer Builder to create a Adobe Content Viewer, you can copy folio information directly to a connected iPad without going through the acrobat.com web client. However, Preview on Device for the iPad requires a third-party utility such as Phone Disk. Preview on Device for the iPad works only on Mac OS, not Windows.

Relink
If you move or rename your source files, you can use the Relink command in the Folio Builder panel to reconnect the article layouts to the source files.


Custom viewer apps for Amazon Appstore
Adobe and Amazon have resolved the issues that prevented custom viewers from being approved in the Amazon Appstore. In addition, folios are now stored in the App Data folder of the SD Card, thereby avoiding residual folios that might otherwise remain when an app is deleted.

Free subscriptions enabled for Newsstand
Custom viewers you create now support Apple’s “Free Subscription” option.

Notify option for push notifications
Push notifications are no longer triggered automatically whenever you publish a folio. After you publish or update a folio, click the Notify button in the Folio Producer Organizer to trigger push notifications.

Third-party push notification servers
With an Enterprise account, you can create a custom server to control push notifications.

Restricted distribution of free folios
If you’re an Enterprise publisher, you can hide free content in the viewer library, allowing you to entitle customers to download specific content based on their sign-in accounts.

HTML store enhancements
If you’re an Enterprise publisher, you can set up an HTML store that interacts with the viewer library. For example, when customers sign in to your third-party store, they can be signed in to the viewer automatically.

Subscription improvements
The entire subscription tile is now an active tap area, not just the button area in the lower right corner. When a user subscribes to an app, subscription options are hidden. If a user purchases the most recent folio, subscription options now remain available.

Cover View only for Android viewers
For Android viewer libraries, you have the option of using Grid View, Cover View, or Both. For smaller Android devices, some publishers prefer allowing only Cover View.

Account Administration tool enhancements
You can now use the Admin tool to create limited accounts for in-house and contract designers. Accounts you create are tied to the company’s account without allowing access to features such as analytics.
