DPS pricing options

If you have InDesign CS6 or later, you can install the digital publishing tools for free. You can create folios, preview them on your desktop and mobile devices, and share them with individuals for review. Using the DPS tools costs additional money only if you want to publish folios and create custom viewer apps that you can submit to stores or distribute privately.

Obtain an Adobe Creative Cloud membership. With a full (not individual product) Creative Cloud membership, you can create single-folio apps for the iPad. If you’re not a Creative Cloud member, you can pay a one-time fee to create a custom application for the iPad that contains a single folio.

With Professional Edition, you pay a subscription fee to create a single multi-folio viewer app that you can submit to supported stores such as the iTunes App Store, Google Play Store, and Windows Store. You can create unlimited built-in single-folio apps for the iPad.

Note that a new policy introduced in March 2014 set a limit of one multi-folio app per Professional Edition license. However, if you had already signed up for a Professional Edition license before the new policy was announced, you can continue to publish content for any multi-folio app you created before renewing your license. After you renew your license, you can create one additional app. If you need to build more than one additional app, a separate Professional License is required.

With Professional Edition, you get basic analytic reports to track user data.
