Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is a 'workflow' solution for Adobe InDesign made for Publishing agencies, individual designers and others that to create and publish their magazines/content on wide variety of devices such are Phones, tables and others.

If you ever wanted to create a your own Magazine app or a Digital book App, and you didn't know where to start, then Adobe's Digital Publishing Suite is for you. DPS enables you to design, create and publish an unlimited number of Apps to the Apple's App Store using Adobe's InDesign. It is an excellent solution for creating portfolio style apps that will work natively on your iPad. 

InDesign is well known for its capability to generate interactive content rich PDF files. What DPS does is, it takes all of those features to its own advantage and it helps you create fully interactive apps with videos and HTML5 integration.

Creating your own app.

Start with a Folio Overlay form preset options. Next you would want to add your content, layer up your text and add some more additional "Screens" and multimedia content to form up your design, just as you would create your interactive PDF presentation in InDesign.Folios support audio files, slideshows, videos and interactive HTML5 which allows you to integrate Google Maps and animations into your project. As far as plugins and widgets go, there are thousands commercialy available to choose from, or you can even create your own if you are familiar with HTML code.

You can easily create iPad folio applications using DPS Single Edition, and preview them directly without having to get Apple’s approval first

If you are done with you layout and you've added all of your interactive content it is time to publish it to Adobe Content Viewer. If everything works as it should and you are happy with it, You can publish and upload it to the App Store. Apple's App Store Developer account costs around 60 pounds per year and it is essential if you plan to upload your work on it. Once you've uploaded it, you can set the price for you app and periodically if needed update your app using standard Apple process.

 The principal idea behind DPS is to create online magazines and publications, and Adobe’s promotional material highlights this, but you can incorporate interactive HTML elements, including those created with Edge Animate CC, to make your app much more than a book.

And there you have it, your own magazine, digital book or whatever is it that you plan on creating. With just a few simple step you can start publishing you work. The only downside to all of this is the pricing and due to this its mostly used by high budget companies like National Geographic.
