When you’re publishing Adobe Digital Publishing Suite apps for the iPad, you must take into account the different resolutions of the standard-definition and the newer high-resolution models. To target both devices, consider these options when building your app:

  • Creating separate renditions—one at 1024×768, and one at 2048×1536—that are published at the same time. The device will determine what rendition will be displayed.
  • Creating only 1024×768 folios with PDF articles. These will display well on all iPad models when both SD and HD assets are included in the same folio. See Adobe’s tutorial Creating Multi-Rendition PDF Articles for iOS Devices for details. Use this method for single-issue viewers, which do not support renditions.

Also check out Adobe’s Creating Content for Different iPad Models page for more information on publishing for Retina iPads.
