I have students creating DPS projects who just want to display/use them in a gallery setting on an iPad, without publishing the app. Currently we do this with the Content Viewer app on the iPads. What is the CC 2015 version of this??? I can't find anything in the User Guide or documentation I have seen so far.

Yes, it's out for Android and Windows and we're just waiting on Apple to approve the iOS version. It's pretty sweet, the team worked really hard to make a great experience and I personally believe it's way more useful than the previous Adobe Content Viewer app. We have even more cool stuff for it coming!

I was the one that made the call to leave the Preflight app until after DPS 2015. The alternative was to hold back the entire DPS 2015 product from customers who were hungry to start playing with all the new capabilities until we had the preflight app completed, and I suspect everyone in this forum wouldn't have been too pleased about that

Hi,

There is no Folio Builder Panel for DPS 2015. DPS 2015 uses collections and articles and those are managed through the content section of the dashboard. If you want to view on your desktop you can use the DPS Preflight App. It supports Windows 8.1 and higher.

Documentation for DPS 2015 is available at Digital Publishing Solution Learn & Support. Here's the documentation on using the Preflight app: Digital Publishing Solution Help | Use the DPS Preflight app.

thanks for the quick reply. but preflight seems to still want a paid-for and/or published app to work. what dashboard? what i want is a previewer like the epub and swf ones built into indesign. content viewer 2014 was kinda like that; it was easy to install on my machine, more difficult to get IT do do it at school, though. is such a previewer not important to any one else besides someone trying to teach basics to would-be designers? designers who needn't become app monetizers just yet?.

If you want to use and preview folios you’ll need to go back to InDesign CC2014

So other than going back to cc2014 is there is no way for a student to preview his/her overlays work on a computer in the classroom? will the every be some thing to do that? is there currently a workaround i don't know about--one that doesn't involve a cc subscriptions as students often do not have a CC subscription and there is no classroom licence as far as i can tell? i'd like some advice on what to do next. even if its to give up and rewrite my lesson plan passing on DPS.

They need a CC subscription for CC2014.

Beyond that, how you handle the lessons is your choice. But there’s no folios in CC2015 which only supports the new Digital Publishing Solution product. Folios need to be built in CS6, CC or CC2014.

Is the iOS app available yet? I can't find it anywhere on the App Store, even though this page from Adobe says it's live.

There was a problem with the most recent app version, so it was temporarily removed from the store. The app will be available again as soon as Apple approves it.

There was an issue with it and it was pulled. Update awaiting approval.
