Single Edition Extension for Android/Kindle

Nov 23, 2011 10:42 AM

Assuming that Single Edition is meant as  trial run for the Professional Edition, the main thing that's lacking is the ability to test all platforms.

    As has been pointed out in other threads, the Android market is limited to 50 meg apps. This pretty much kills most of the DPS apps.

    Thanks for the reminder.

     

    However, other posts seemed a bit ambivalent on this point.

     

    For example http://forums.adobe.com/message/4033874#4033874 states "Multi-Folio-Apps are currently possible (only with Pro Edition) on Android. They are relatively small (2-5 MB) and the .folios are coming from the adobe servers (download costs!)."

     

    Generally speaking, I had assumed that the large size of DPS apps was something Adobe would be working on reducing... is that hopelessly naive of me?

     

    Is there a single source somewhere on this site that explains app size -- how much is basic fixed overhead from Adobe DPS technology, how much is variable overhead by article, and how much can be influenced by app creator through design and content choices?

    Bottom line: Almost anything in an overlay is going to pass through untouched. If you have a 30 meg video that’s what you’re going to be adding to the size of the folio.

    That's reassuring. 

     

    Shouldn't have a problem keeping an app without audio or video under 50 megs, then... is that the exception rather than the rule?

    I wouldn't even hazzard a guess on that.
