I would like to learn more about using the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. I really don't know much about it nor do I know anyone who uses it yet. Is it specifically for creating apps for tablets? What about smart phones? We sometimes produce PDF publications that are posted to our website. Can DPS be used to produce more interactive online publications? What is a .folio application? What platforms are .folio apps used on?

DPS currently supports iPads, iPhones, and Large and XLarge Android devices. You can start here to get basic information and watch a few videos:

If you have an iPad or other mobile device, you can download and play with any of these apps created with DPS tools:

Hi Bob - I went through a bunch of the videos, but none seemed to show any sort of basic intro to DPS. I learned about how well it integrates with InDesign CS5.5, about single and multiple folios, about the basic workflow, etc. But everything seems to assume that I already have it. Can files created with DPS be used on websites or only mobile devices? Do people need apps on their mobile devices to use files created with DPS?

DPS is for mobile devices only.

DPS makes an app that people download to thier device just like any other app.
