ldn-possible May 9, 2014 5:37 AM (in response to BobLevine)Hi Bob,
We're using the native Android viewer, and the folio is v30. I can send some screenshots if it helps?

David Herrera - Adobe May 9, 2014 9:47 AM (in response to ldn-possible)Hi,
Could you post a screenshot and let me know what device you're on? This sounds similar to an issue we saw on a first gen Nexus 7.
Thanks,
Dave

One follow-up question, are these authored with Native DPS, or with Woodwing tools?
Thanks,
Dave

6. Re: Issues with rendering shadows and gradients in Android folios
ldn-possible May 9, 2014 10:38 AM (in response to David Herrera - Adobe)No problem. It's done with native DPS, using InDesign CC. It seems to do it when the transparencies etc. are within an interaction or MSO.
Thanks,
Sam

7. Re: Issues with rendering shadows and gradients in Android folios
David Herrera - Adobe May 9, 2014 11:29 AM (in response to David Herrera - Adobe)Is this issue fixed when you change from Vector to Raster (or vice versa)?
Edit: To add some color to this, we have an old bug that we decided not to fix last year titled: "Display of MSO with applied transparency is different with "Rasterized" and "Vectorized" at MSO option." Looking at the details of this bug, it appears to be exactly what you're seeing (whiteness in the transparency on Vector), so I'm hoping that my above question results in a work-around.
Thanks,
Dave

ldn-possible May 12, 2014 7:54 AM (in response to David Herrera - Adobe)Hi Dave,
This does fix the issue, although am slightly worried about the quality loss on text if switching to 'Raster'. Have you found it makes a difference on larger tablet screens for Android? Using 'Raster' on retina iPads does have a big effect on how it looks.

David Herrera - Adobe May 12, 2014 1:13 PM (in response to ldn-possible)With the 5/19 release and Raster folios, we've been doing a lot of testing on large tablets (up to 12.2") that have a resolution of 2650x1600. With raster, it's more important to have a dedicated tablet and phone rendition. For the tablet folio, a resolution of 1920x1200 seems to be a good compromise between quality and size and looks good on the larger tablets. I wouldn't go below 1280x800 on these tablets with raster, and you may even find that the text is too soft at this resolution. Performance is good up to 2650x1600 as long as you're careful with the number of elements you put on a page and keep in mind that the size will grow very quickly. Streaming your videos in a video overlay vs. embedding them is one of the things you can do to keep the size acceptable.
Hope this helps,
Dave

10. Re: Issues with rendering shadows and gradients in Android folios
ldn-possible May 19, 2014 10:12 AM (in response to David Herrera - Adobe)Thanks for the info Dave. We've created the iPad rendition (1024x768) pulling in the HD retina assets as an image sequence then a 1920x1125px rendition for Android to scale with the system bar in place, and a 1024x600 for Kindle and smaller devices.
The problem is there are a lot of large sections with upwards of 40 pages in an articles, the iPad version weighs in at 435MB. Unfortunately, the client required certain elements in there.
Trying to work on performance now.
