Adobe’s decision to drop DPS Single Edition support from Creative Cloud in the near future caused quite a stir on social media and user forums last December. Adobe’s intentions have now become very clear: to continue to target the high end of the market with DPS Pro and Enterprise editions, and to encourage all other users to move to fixed layout (FXL) ePUB for their digital publishing needs.
Lots of smaller publishers and agencies feel left out in the cold and think that they may be forced to upgrade to a paid DPS Pro plan. Consequently, they are also looking for alternative solutions.
With Twixl Publisher Single, we are offering a compelling solution for creating single-issue apps that offer the best of both worlds.
TWIXL PUBLISHER SINGLE ADVANTAGES
- unlimited subscription model (i.e. no ‘pay per app’ model)
- create content for different platforms: iPads, Android tablets and “Web reader” versions for desktops and notebooks (with phone support coming in Q1 2015)
- search capability built-in
- gather Google analytics data from your readers
- easy conversion from DPS using the free Twixl Importer
- easy upgrade to a subscription for publishing multi-issue apps
- top-notch support
Twixl have created Twixl Importer a free plugin for Adobe InDesign that allows you to convert Adobe DPS Folio Overlay properties in a document to their Twixl Publisher counterparts.
