Adobe Creating new Publishing Software for Tablets
This years tablet boom has started to revolutionize the way we read digital content with devices such as the iPad making digital magazines popular. Adobe announced this week that it is working on new creative software for publishers of such content.
After the success of WIRED Magazine’s digital edition using InDesign CS5 with "additional publishing technologies" Adobe pushed to get the software a mainstream release. To make it easy for publishers the software is a supplement to InDesign CS5 so that no extra training is required for designers.
The new software will become part of the Creative Suite collection and will be downloadable from Adobe Labs later this summer. The goal of this software is to simplify the process of creating tablet magazine layouts and incorporate more mobile hardware-specific needs including pinch/swipe gestural navigation for panning and zooming as well as 360-degree image rotation.
Other features include the ability to export in the new .issue format, a compressed file format that contains vertical and horizontal magazine layouts, metadata, code to enable interactivity, and associated assets (images, video, etc.).
Adobe is expected to continue their software developments with tools for magazine workflow including adding advanced interactivity and bundling content.
