Adobe upgrades its Digital Publishing Suite with iPhone viewer, improved social media features

[![][1] ][2]Between [rolling out][3] Creative Suite 6, [Creative Cloud][4] and a new [video platform][5] for broadcasters, Adobe's been mighty busy lately. If that's not evidence enough that the outfit is making good on its [promise][6] to restructure around digital media, hear this: the company just announced a slew of enhancements to its Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), which Conde Nast and others use to format magazines for mobile devices. For starters, publishers now have a way to tailor content specifically for the iPhone, just as they can for the iPad, Kindle Fire and Android tablets. So far, we're hearing Conde Nast will be doing an iPhone-friendly edition of _The New Yorker_, though the company hasn't announced when it will become available for download. Meanwhile, art departments used to working in InDesign can now take a single a layout and repurpose it across multiple devices. Similarly, DPS is now integrated with [Adobe Edge][7], which means publishers can create HTML5 animations and then easily port them over to their digital editions.

Moving on, SocialSharing is exactly what it sounds like: it promises to make it easier for people reading these magazines to share stories using built-in email, Twitter and Facebook functionality. Getting more granular, a new font rights policy means that once a publishing company buys rights to use a certain font, it won't have to pay additional per-usage fees every time someone downloads the app. Lastly, Adobe announced that Meredith, the company that brings you (yes, _you_) _Better Homes and Gardens_, _Parents_ and _Fitness_ will also begin using the platform to create digital editions. Hold onto your britches, kids.
