Preview with Content Viewer on iPad?

At this time, DPS 2015 requires an app to view content and experience.

There is no Adobe Content Viewer for DPS 2015 at this time.

If you're teaching content design and production, the 2015 versions of DPS and InDesign are likely more difficult than the 2014 version.

Thanks! I will work with our staff to make InDesign CC 2014 available for our users who want to work with DPS.

I'm going to send a follow up message to the DPS support group - the DPS 2015 paradigm is not a good option for EDU settings unless things change in the future.

my problem exactly. so there is no work around and no cc2015.1 fix in the offing, yes? the solution then is getting IT--at two colleges, no less!--to reinstall cc2014 just for me. unless of course adobe in its infinite wisdom has decided to delete more yet undiscovered features.

We are actively working on a similar app to Adobe Content Viewer for DPS 2015, but it'll take us a couple of releases to complete. We do understand the need for it!

Same scenario here. I've been teaching DPS for a couple of years and feel the rug beeing pulled away from under my feet. InDesign was usable for prototyping user experiences on mobile devices but without the content viewer this use case is broken.

Glad to know I'm not alone.

I used DPS as one of 3 units in an interactive indesign course, PDF and SWF being the other 2, DPS was, from the beginning, the flakiest of the 3. The techies at one site never could get content viewer to work on PCs with an institutional license and now they say they it doesn’t matter any more, because they can’t keep 2014 and 2015 going simultaneously anyway.

My work around is to make the 3rd unit a fixed layout epub project. I’ve installed “adobe digital editions,” adobe’s epub reader and the browser-based alternative, the “readium” app for chrome. On my solo machine they work pretty good, readers for android much less so. It's still a work in progress. Any suggestions?

I used to consider adobe a good partner in my design and teaching efforts, but more and more they are become just another corporation out for my, my students’ and my school’s money. No amount of evangelizing is going to convert me back without some good news, i.e. updates that are actual improvements for me.

Hi guys,

As I mentioned two posts above we understand the need for an on-device preview app that doesn't require iOS certificates or a developer account. We're actively working on it (I just had three engineers at my door with some design questions as they work on implementation). It takes time to get done though!

I see the Preflight app has been released. Though still waiting for iOS approval.

If Adobe truly understood the need for such a function you wouldn't have release this new DPS2015 without that tool.

so how do i get content viewer on my PC? I've downloaded dps tools 2015 and and updated indesign and nothing seems to have changed? still no folio builder or any way to preview apps on my desktop nor any documentation.
