When you’re planning your Adobe Digital Publishing Suite app, there are several decisions that you’ll need to make at the beginning of the process. Will you be designing for particular devices? For specific viewers—iPad, iPhone, Android, or Web Viewer? What orientation options will you build for—dual orientation, horizontal, or vertical? What interactivity do you want to include?

During the DPS app planning stage, it’s important to understand which features will work with each viewer type. Adobe’s latest DPS Supported Features List clearly indicates what is supported, is not supported, or is not fully implemented or only partially supported. Supported features are indicated according to each viewer.

Keep this list handy to help you make decisions about what you add to or leave out of your app!
