In-app subscription options are now available. Adobe supports Apple’s new subscription model for publishers
who set up their own entitlement server.
Mobile devices are now available in multiple dimensions. If you use the same 1024x768 folios for Android devices, the folios will
be letterboxed with black bars. If you want to design for specific devices (such as 1024x600) or aspect ratios (16:9), you can create different
renditions of the same folio. Create renditions by making the Magazine Title and Folio Number settings the same but the Dimension export
settings different. The viewer offers only the rendition that most closely matches the device’s dimensions.
HTML articles can now be divided into pages more elegantly.
Release 9
Publishers can now set up their own subscription model that allows customers to subscribe to a
magazine or newsletter and receive regular updates of folios. Customers can specify a range of folios that remain downloaded on the iPad—
especially useful for news magazines.
The Content Viewer for Desktop now supports many previously unsupported features such as single-orientation
folios and Web View overlays.
The Content Bundler includes a Binding setting that enables right-to-left reading of articles for Asian languages. If Right
Edge is selected, the first article appears as the right-most article, and users browse through the articles from right to left.
An update message now appears in the library if a folio is updated on the fulfillment server. Tapping the Update button
downloads new or edited mini .folio files.
Users can play a full-screen video in landscape orientation even if the folio is portrait only.
When using analytic data to track usage, you can distinguish between ads and articles. Offline viewer data is also
preserved.
Release 7/8
The Folio Overlays panel in InDesign CS5 replaces the Interactive Overlay Creator application. This change means
that you now create all interactive overlays natively in InDesign. Use the Folio Overlays panel to create overlays and change overlay settings.
An AIR-based version of the Viewer is now available for testing the issues (now called “folios”) that you create. The
Desktop Viewer currently does not support all the features, so use it only as a basic testing tool.
The new term for “issue” is “folio.”
Using the same overlay IDs in the horizontal and vertical layout is no longer required in most cases to provide continuity when the
iPad is rotated. The Bundler uses the source assets and settings to determine related overlays.
The Viewer library now lets you display eight folios at a time in a grid view. You can switch between grid view and
single view.
The Content Bundler includes a new “Order” column that makes it less likely for you to change the order of articles accidentally.
Enter a number where you want the article to appear in sequence, and it moves to that place.
The Content Bundler includes a new “Locked” column that lets you prevent articles from being updated when
you bundle—especially useful when you just want to test the changes in one or two articles.
You no longer need to change your Adobe ID password to display the Sign In button.
