The Samsung Galaxy Note meets the system requirements but is not currently supported. Users would like to be able to use Adobe Debut on this device.

Adobe Debut needs better testing and more honest advertising

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 24 May 2012 01:20:01 GMT

I have used Adobe products for years. I run a typesetting and design company that runs on the Creative Suite, and I teach web design and development using Adobe products. Overall I have found Adobe to be a very responsive company whenever I have needed customer service, and the Creative Suite products all generally work out of the box.

That is one of the reasons I am so disappointed in the Adobe Touch apps. I run a Motorola Xoom with Android 4.0, and I have purchased both Debut and Ideas.

From a testing point of view, it seems that corners were cut on some of the products. One of the major problems is the fact that those of us using Android 4.0 cannot log in to the Creative Cloud from Debut. Those of us with this setup are also not able to import PDFs from the Gallery. In addition, everytime I select the Gallery in Debut it takes an inordinately long time to display the files and folders. These are issues that should have been caught much earlier. I know Android 4.0 officially rolled out after the Touch apps, but it was available in beta long before that.

Even if these issues were not caught in testing, they should be fixed much quicker than they are being fixed. The ICS problem with Debut has been known for at least two months, but no solution has come out.

What I find even more bothersome is the listing for these apps on Android Market. Adobe Ideas does not support layers on Android, even though the features list on the market says it does. Android customers have been asking for layers in Ideas (something that is already available on iOS) for over a year, with very little response from Adobe. We are told layers are coming but they don't know when. This should not have been an issue, as the app had no business being released before layers were added, since that is a central part of the functionality.

And although Adobe knows that some Touch apps are having problems with ICS, they still market the app to people with ICS. When an app is put into the market, the developer can indicate which versions of Android are and are not compatible. Since Debut is basically not compatible with ICS, it shouldn't show up when I search for it on the market. At the very least, the market should contain a message informing potential buyers that if they run ICS, Debut is all but useless on their device.

If these were free apps, we customers would have little cause for complaint. But given that Adobe is charging us $10 a pop--which is higher than the vast majority of apps on the market--we have every right to be upset that we were sold the products via misleading advertising and are on our own when it comes to customer support.

The Touch apps division of Adobe could stand to learn from the excellent people who create and service the Creative Suite. At this point, it almost seems like a tale of two companies.

With hopes of remaining a loyal Adobe customer,

While I would love to get support for all of the apps on my galaxy nexus, I would like this one specifically so I could gather feed back even if I don't happen to have my tablet with me.

Adobe Debut: Ability to browse local folders for importing .indd, .psd, or .jpeg files

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:07:04 GMT

We have had user requests to be able to import files from than those just currently avaiable, such as being to browse to any local folder to import. Doing so will give greater flexibility and allow using other cloud services, importing from removable media or storage, and file transfer from the desktop to the tablet when internet connectivity is unavailable.

Native DLNA streaming support

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:23:49 GMT

As far as I understand the idea behind the Adobe Debut - application that is designed to present ideas and projects - it makes sense to add native DLNA streaming support. That way, one would be able to present wirelessly, walking free in front of audience with all the annotation and interactivity goodies of Adobe Debut, while being connected to DLNA supporting device (wall projector, huge TV setup, DLNA->HDMI media server, etc...). It would make it killer app not only for presenting ideas on meetings with client or manager where both people can sit in front of tablet, but also on big events - which for now requires us to connect trough hdmi or other wired setup.

While as far as I know on Android platform there is no way to stream whole desktop without rooting the device (and sometimes loosing warranty) or being connected using USB cable, it should be doable to stream single application window. Simple solution would be to capture the view every 1/nth second and feeding such slideshow to DLNA supported device - more bandwidth saving device could check if something changed and make the steam better optimized. There are a lot of ideas on how to implement such feature, most methods to stream desktop to DLNA using Linux should work when applied to single Android app, so I believe it should be doable.

Adobe Debut: Slideshow mode (with easy pause, zoom/pan, markup, resume functionality)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 01:12:56 GMT

A useful additional feature for Debut would be a slideshow feature which would allow the user to playback all of the images in a project full screen at a set time interval with an easy way to be able to pause playback, zoom and pan the image with gestures or add markups then resume the show.

Adobe Debut: Import Layer Comps as separate images for presentation

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:08:50 GMT

When presenting ideas to clients for various design layouts I like using the Layer Comps feature of Photoshop, in addition to being able selectively designate which layers to import when importing a PSD, a nice feature would be to be able to import all Layer Comps from a PSD, having each of the comps rendered as a separate image in a Debut project.
