Use the DPS App Builder to create a custom viewer app for the iPad or for both the iPad and iPhone. If you specify valid files and information,
DPS App Builder generates both a development app and a distribution app. The development app is for testing. If it works properly, submit the
distribution .zip file to the Apple Store.

The information such as certificates and passwords that you provide is not stored on the Adobe server. Only the application files are stored on the
Adobe server.

For information about creating the required certificates and images, see

iOS Publishing Companion Guide for Professional and Enterprise

. If you’re

a Creative Cloud or Single Edition user, see

Step-by-Step iPad Publishing Guide for Single Edition
