“Rate the App” option
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.
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
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.
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.
The DPS App Builder includes several interface improvements. The InDesign
CS6 installer now installs the DPS App Builder.
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.
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.
With an
membership, you can create
unlimited single-folio apps for the iPad.
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.
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.
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 single-
orientation articles, the error message indicates the problem rather than leaving you to guess.
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.
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.
