Adobe DPS preview bug
Adobe DPS preview bug
Beware of this bug when previewing DPS articles on a USB-tethered iPad...
When you tether an iPad to your computer with a USB cable, you can get immediate feedback of exactly how your layout looks on the iPad screen. If you�ve never done this before, here�s how:
1. Connect your iPad via a USB cable to your computer
2.�Make sure that the iPad is turned on and �awake�
3. Run Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad
4.�At the bottom of the Folio Overlays panel, click the Preview button. After a brief pause, a drop-down menu will appear with the name of your iPad listed. Choose this, and after a short delay the InDesign file you are working on will appear on the iPad screen.
But here�s the bug�If you have a Master Page displayed on your screen, the preview doesn�t work. The �Preview on [your iPad name]� option still appears in the drop-down menu, but the preview never displays on the iPad. The Desktop preview still works in this case, but not the iPad preview.�
So be sure to turn to an actual document page, not a master page, before previewing content on your iPad!
