Aquafadas Releases Version 3.3 of Its Digital Publishing System
Montpellier, France (PRWEB) May 21, 2014 -- Aquafadas, developer of digital publishing solutions, has just released version 3.3 of its Digital Publishing System, an ecosystem of seamlessly integrated apps that include - InDesign Authoring, Cloud Authoring, Comic Composer, Aquafadas Viewer, AppFactory, Cloud Connect and MotionComposer. The Aquafadas Digital Publishing System apps are designed to manage any digital publishing scenario from digital content and app creation to distribution and marketing. The new version 3.3 improves on existing features such as easier access push notifications, while adding advanced capabilities like Guided Reading for ePUB. “By regularly improving and updating the Aquafadas Digital Publishing System, our tools help publishers stay at the cutting edge of digital content creation and distribution,” comments Allison Reber, director of communications at Aquafadas. “They can rely on Aquafadas as a technology partner to improve their apps, allowing them to stay focused on the content creation aspect of digital publishing. It’s inspiring to see how Aquafadas users are utilizing the new content enrichment tools, transforming static copy into beautiful, fluid designs.”
What’s New in the Aquafadas Digital Publishing System: InDesign Authoring?
Designed for a wide range of skill sets, the InDesign Authoring component of the Aquafadas Digital Publishing System lets design agencies, in-house designers and freelancers easily create interactive content for apps and eBooks. Sporting the lion’s share of the feature updates for the 3.3 release, the enhancements to InDesign Authoring ensure users can output digital content to the latest operating systems, incorporating engaging, interactive content that elevates the level of reader engagement and comfort.
• Guided Reading for ePUB: A PDF replica is not appealing when read on a tablet or eReader. An Aquafadas exclusive, the Guided Reading feature is now compatible with ePUB, the format most popular for simple print-to-digital conversions. Guided Reading removes the need to pan and zoom, creating a vastly more comfortable reading experience for end users.
• New Premium “Signature” Enrichment: This enrichment lets the customer hand-write his or her name in the digital book and register it for a more personal experience. By offering features that make their digital book unique, publishers can win over new readers.
• Now Available in Chinese: The plugin has added Chinese to the list of available languages, which currently include French, English and Japanese.
