    Is there any need for a 1536 x 2048 folio anymore? Do they even work with DPS v32?

      So I just received a gig from a client to design their new magazine issue using their provided back issue indd DPS files (CS6), along with their new content from the latest print edition that will fill these articles. However, the previous DPS documents were built using 1536 x 2048 pixel (vertical orientation) pages. Is there even a use for this folio size anymore? And would it even work with Apple and Google Play and the latest folio buider?

       

      I recall in 2012, I had to build two renditions during the iPad1 to retina transition, so it could be read on both devices. But I thought Adobe soon abandoned the need for two renditions and went with just the 1024 pixels. I've only worked with 1024 since with all my other clients. Is this correct thinking? Do I need to convert these files to 1024? I'm guessing so, but I don't want to just guess.

       

      The other thing I wonder is if Apple had approved their back issue on 2048 pixels, would it mean a re-submission the new folio using 1024 px height? We have to update the App to iOS 8 anyway, so I just need to be sure I'm working with the folio size.

       

      Can I assume the v32.2 folio builder is solid enough to run with at this time? Hoping one folio will work with both storefronts (google play and Apple) without any glitches/scaling issues.

       

      Cheers,
