The Digital Publishing Suite tools are updated frequently.
Whenever Adobe updates the Folio Producer on the web, update the
Folio Builder panel to make sure that the web client and the Folio
Builder panel remain in sync. (See Installing digital publishing tools.) Note that updating the Folio Builder panel
does not update your authoring tools.
- Embedded overlays in slideshows
- Interactive objects are now supported in multi-state objects.
All interactive objects (except other slideshows) are supported
in slideshow states. See Embedding interactive overlays.
- 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.
See Create links using the Buttons panel.
- 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. See Scrollable frame overlays.
- 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. See Enabling pinch and zoom for articles.
- 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. See Create a custom Adobe Content Viewer for iPad.
- 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.
See Use Preview on Device.
- 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. See Relink articles to 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. See Create a custom viewer app for Android and Amazon devices.
- Free subscriptions enabled for Newsstand
- Custom viewers you create now support Apple’s “Free Subscription”
option. See Create a custom viewer app for the iPad.
- 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. See 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. See Account Administration tool.
