Digital Publishing Suite Help | Creating folio renditions

Renditions are important for the platforms in which devices have multiple dimensions. For example, the iPad is available in 1024x768 (SD or Standard Definition) and 2048x1536 (HD or High Definition) dimensions, and popular Android devices include 1024x600, 1280x800, 1920x1200, and 2560x1600 formats.

When you publish folios, using the same Folio Name creates a rendition. While Folio Name values for the different renditions must be the same, the Size values must be different (except for a Web Viewer Only rendition). In addition, if the folio renditions belong to a retail app, we recommend that you use the same Product ID for all renditions (but use different Product IDs for different sets of renditions). For renditions in a subscription app, the Publication Date values must be identical—choose the date from the calendar widget.

Note:

When you create folio renditions for a subscription viewer, choose the same Publication Date setting for each rendition from the calender widget.

Creating multiple folio renditions that have the same Folio Name settings and different Size settings

When the viewer checks the Distribution Service, it offers only the rendition that most closely matches the mobile device.

For iPad devices, if you upload one folio rendition with 2048x1536 Size setting and another folio with a 1024x768 setting, the HD iPad model downloads the 2048x1536 folio while the SD models download the smaller rendition. iPad viewers download only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio. iPhone viewers download only folios with a 3:2 aspect ratio (or 16:9 aspect ratio for 1136x640 renditions). If you create a viewer app that supports both the iPad and iPhone, create multiple renditions for best results. See Creating DPS content for different iPad models and Creating content for the iPhone.

For Android devices, if you upload one folio with a 1205x725 Size setting and another folio with a 1024x600 setting, the Nexus 7 viewer downloads only the 1205x725 rendition while the Kindle Fire SD viewer downloads only the 1024x600 rendition. See Creating documents for multiple devices.

Note:

For best results, use the same folio metadata settings for the folio renditions, including Folio Name, Publication Name, Folio Number, and Publication Date. When you publish the renditions, use the same Product ID. If you are enabling Social Sharing, make sure that you use the same Article Name values.
