3 Best Alternatives to Adobe Digital Publishing
Suite
2

• Adobe developed its Digital Publishing Suite
  (DPS) as a way for creatives to produce digital,
  interactive magazines using InDesign. It proved
  to be a relatively simple tool to create
  customizable tablet apps, the InDesign plug-in
  allowed users to create app content. DPS also
  provided a distribution platform for publishing
  this content into the custom app. However, people
  werent consuming digital magazines as hoped, and
  they preferred getting a continuous feed of
  content instead of curated, interactive
  magazine-style content. If you are a content
  creator and you want to switch from DPS, here are
  a few alternatives you can try.

Mag

• This is a mobile app creation and distribution
  software that lets you distribute content to over
  a billion devices globally. It is ideal for
  magazine publishing and is a base level entry
  solution. This means its a good place to start
  if you are new to digital publishing. What makes
  mag a great choice is its familiar workflow.
  Being an InDesign-based creation, the workspace
  is familiar and makes it easier to use,
  significantly reducing the learning curve
  compared to other Adobe Digital Publishing
  Suite alternatives.

• This platform saves you money, especially if you
  are a small publishing house. There are two main
  fees charged the software fees and publication
  downloading fees. It is favored for its ability
  to add a log-in before users can access magazine
  content, distribute one title to all devices, and
  the 1TB per month of downloads included in your
  subscription plan.

PaperLit

• If you are looking for an Adobe DPS Alternative,
  this SaaS DIY web application might be what you
  are looking for. It is intended to help
  publishers build their own branded news apps from
  which you can distribute single or multiple
  publications, share live feeds, publish magazine
  apps on Google Play, Apple AppStore, or the web.

• This platform offers content monetization through
  in-app purchases and advertising options. It also
  allows you to track consumer behavior through its
  PaperLit analytics tools integrated with Google
  Analytics. Its user-friendly interface allows
  lesser experienced computer users to use it.

Origami Engine

• This might sound like a complicated program to
  use, but it is actually relatively
  straightforward, user-friendly, and
  feature-filled. It has four major components -
  design, testing, publishing, and management.
  These components are different tools such as
  Origami Design, which incorporates the layout of
  your publication Origami View allows you to test
  out the different features of your publication,
  and Origami Xchange allows you to publish and
  manage your publications. Note that this option
  doesnt use PDF wrap or HTML shell, but it does
  have everything you will require to issue your
  creations to various platforms.

• The digital publishing scene continues to grow,
  and it can be hard to get used to one platform
  then have to switch to another. While DPS offers
  many features, these alternatives also have
  similar features that allow you to seamlessly
  migrate your existing work, convert to other
  device templates, not iPad only, increase
  interactivity and scale up your digital presence.
