Simply stated, an Adobe Digital Publishing Suite single edition app is a self-contained app that contains a built-in folio. After a single edition app is downloaded to an iPad, tapping on its icon takes the user straight to the content. This type of app is a great option for smaller agencies and designers who are looking to publish brochures, catalogs, and training materials to the iPad.

Users can pay a one-time fee for each app published or, with a Creative Cloud membership, they can create unlimitdp_appicon_256pxed single edition iPad apps. Single edition apps work only on the iPad, not on the iPhone or Android devices, and do not include  features such as a library, bookmarks, social sharing, and analytics.

See Adobe’s Single Edition Overview for additional information on single edition apps and a list of requirements, including software and hardware, that need to be met before an app can be created and published.
