App Details panel

The App Details panel lets you provide your viewer names and account ID information.

Provide a viewer name that appears below the App icon. As a general rule, use 13 characters or fewer to avoid truncating the name.

To test your viewer name, add a bookmark to the Android home screen.

Specify the most recent viewer.

The DPS App Builder includes a previous version for backup purposes.

Specify the viewer type (see Types of custom viewer apps). The availability of some options depends on the type of account.

A multi-folio viewer app includes a library that lets users download content that is hosted on the Adobe Distribution Service.

(Enterprise only) Create a viewer app that uses a custom entitlement server to determine which customers

can download content. If you select this option, you use your own subscription service.

Create a viewer app that uses the Amazon Appstore subscription model. At this time, Google

Play subscriptions are not supported.

(Enterprise only) Create a viewer app that uses a custom entitlement server to

determine which customers can download content. Customers can subscribe either through your subscription service or through the
Amazon Appstore.

Choose an option to determine where your app can be submitted: Google Play Store or Amazon Appstore for Android. You can also

choose None to create an app that you don’t intend to submit to a store.

Indicate whether you want the library to display in Grid View only, Cover View only, or both. In the library, Grid View

displays eight folios per page. Cover View displays only one folio per page. For smaller devices, some publishers prefer displaying the Cover View
only.

Provide the title that will appear at the top of the Viewer library. For best results, use no more than 35 characters. At this

time, use only alphanumeric or numeric characters. Do not use special characters such as apostrophes (‘), or unexpected results may occur on
Android devices.

Provide the appropriate Adobe ID and password for your app. Specify the same Adobe ID used for publishing the folios for this

app. Make sure that the Adobe ID is assigned the Application role in the Account Administration tool.

Advanced Options

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 DPS App Builder. At this time, strict rendition logic applies only to 7" devices. This option is
primarily useful for preventing unwanted iOS folio renditions from appearing on 7" 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 Google App Store.

Select this option to allow your users to bookmark their favorite articles in the app. If enabled, a Favorites icon appears on the

upper right area of the viewer nav bar.

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

the scrollbar appears only when the user is scrolling in the article.

If you select this option, invisible hot zones appear on the left and right sides of every article (or
