Quark will no longer support Quark AVE Publishing after September 18, 2014. QuarkXPress supports the industry-standard HTML5 format to create content for native apps and Web apps.

If you want to continue creating issues and apps based on the proprietary AVE format, you need to use QuarkXPress 9.

If you want to create app content using the new, HTML5-based App Studio, then you need to work with the following palettes:

• The HTML5 palette to add enrichments

• The App Studio Publishing palette to upload the content to your

my.appstudio.net

account

To migrate AVE based apps to HTML5 based apps, you need to delete all existimg enrichments in 9.x and then reapply all enrichments in QuarkXPress 10.x and create a new app using the

appstudio.net portal

Please refer to the Knowledge Base for a detailed migration manual.

UNDERSTANDING APP STUDIO

Understanding App Studio

The App Studio feature lets you create a customized app for the iPad ® , iPhone ® , or Android device; distribute that app through the Apple ® App Store or an Android app store; and then create and publish content that your customers can purchase and download from within the app.

There are two parts to any App Studio solution:

• An App Studio app is an app that you build with the App Studio Publishing Portal. After you build and test your App Studio app, you can submit it to the Apple App Store or an

Android app store. If it is approved, it will be made available to your customers.

You can use the App Studio Publishing Portal to create your own custom apps.

• An App Studio issue is the digital equivalent of a book or a magazine. You can create and export App Studio issues in QuarkXPress.

A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1 |

5 UNDERSTANDING APP STUDIO

You can use QuarkXPress to create App Studio issues.

Your customers will use your App Studio app to view your App Studio issues. You and your customers can also view and test App Studio issues in a free Previewer iPad app that is available from the Apple App Store.

You can view App Studio issues in your own custom app or in a Previewer app.

Once you've created your app and your issues, you can make the issues available on a Web server, set up in-app purchases for each of your issues on the Apple developer Web site or on an Android app store, and then submit your app to the app store.

Once your app and its content is approved, your customers will be able to download your

App Studio app from the app store and use it to browse, purchase, and read your App

Studio issues. And you don't even have to set up your own eCommerce solution — the money from issue purchases goes automatically into your account through the in-app purchase feature.

6

| A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1

UNDERSTANDING APP STUDIO

Your customers can buy your issues from within your custom app. When they do, the issues download to their device from a Web server.

Understanding the App Studio format

The App Studio format lets you create issues using HTML5 and JavaScript. Because HTML5 is a platform-independent format, you can read App Studio issues in any Web browser that has a compatible HTML5 renderer.

You can use two types of apps to view App Studio issues:

• App Studio Issue Previewer. This free app is designed to let you view and test App Studio issues on a physical device.

• A custom App Studio app. For example, if you are publishing a magazine, you might have an app that has been built specifically to deliver that magazine.

Each App Studio issue is made up of one or more articles . Each article corresponds to a single QuarkXPress project file and may consist of one App Studio layout (if the article supports only one orientation) or two App Studio layouts (if the article supports dual orientations). An article can be one or more pages long, and does not have to represent a discrete unit of content.

App Studio articles are not the same thing as QuarkCopyDesk articles.

Exported App Studio issues are hosted on the App Studio Publishing Portal. Because they are in HTML5 content, you can view them in a Web browser by logging in to the App

Studio Publishing Portal. There, you can navigate to your issues, display their component articles, and view individual pages in any orientation. For more information, see

Understanding the App Studio Publishing Portal

Understanding the App Studio Publishing Portal

On the App Studio Publishing Portal ( http://my.appstudio.net

), content is organized into organizations, publications, issues, and articles.

A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1 |

7 UNDERSTANDING APP STUDIO

• Organization: Represents the organization that is responsible for one or more related publications. When you create an account on the App Studio Publishing Portal, one of the first things you do is create an organization.

• Publication: Represents a set of related issues. For example, a publication might represent a particular magazine title.

• Issue: Represents a discrete unit of content to be downloaded as a whole. For example, an issue might represent a single issue of a magazine title.

• Article: Issues are divided into one or more articles, each of which is created from a single

QuarkXPress project. Articles also allow issue creators to break issues down into multiple

QuarkXPress projects. Each article displays as an entry in the automatically generated table of contents.

The content of your issues is stored on the App Studio Portal, which serves it to your App

Studio apps. For more information about creating App Studio issues, see "

Creating an App

Studio issue

The App Studio Publishing Portal also provides a way for you to create your own App

Studio app. This is basically a matter of supplying descriptive information about your app

and uploading some graphic resources. For more information, see " Creating an App Studio app ."

Understanding App Studio apps

To create an App Studio app, you simply enter some descriptive information and upload your developer credentials. The Publishing Portal builds two versions of the app: a build for testing on your device, and a build for submission to the App Store. For more information, see "

Creating an App Studio app ."

Understanding layout families

A QuarkXPress project file can contain multiple layouts (for more information, see "Projects and layouts" in A Guide to QuarkXPress ). When you create an App Studio layout, QuarkXPress creates a separate layout for each device/orientation combination you checked in the New

Project dialog box. All of these layouts are members of a single layout family .

8

| A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1

UNDERSTANDING APP STUDIO

A layout family displayed in split view. Each tab across the top represents a layout that is part of the layout family.

A layout family is a group of layouts that represents a single App Studio article. One layout family might include a horizontal layout for the iPad, a vertical layout for a different type of tablet, and both vertical and horizontal layouts for a third type of tablet. All of the layouts in a layout family are bound to one another in terms of page count; if you add or delete a page in one of a layout family's layouts, that page is added or deleted from all of the layouts in the layout family.

Layout families make it easy for you to keep content synchronized between the various editions of each page of content. For example, assume that you're working on a 30-page issue, and you discover that you need to add a new page after page 12. You can go to any of the layouts in the layout family and add the new page, and the page is automatically inserted in every other layout in the layout family. This is much easier than manually adding the new page to each layout one-at-a-time.

When you create a layout family, QuarkXPress displays the project in a split view. You don't have to work on the layout in split view, but it can be helpful when you're trying to keep different editions of a page consistent.

Another helpful feature for App Studio issues is the shared content feature. This feature lets you put copies of a picture or a chunk of text into different layouts, and then automatically keep the copies synchronized. So, for example, if you correct a name on page five of one layout, the name can be automatically corrected in all of the other layouts too. For more information, see "Working with shared content" in A Guide to QuarkXPress

and " Synchronizing content between orientations

9 CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

Creating an App Studio issue

App Studio issues are stored on the App Studio Publishing Portal. Before you can start creating content, you must create a free account on the Publishing Portal and set up an organization, a publication, and an issue for that account. Once you have created an issue, you can begin adding articles to it. To create an App Studio issue:

1 Go to http://my.appstudio.net

2 If you don't have an account, create a free account.

3 Log in with your user name and password.

4 If you have not registered your organization, register it now.

5 If you have not yet created a publication for your issues, create it now.

6 Select the publication you want to add an issue to.

7 Click Create New Issue .

• In the Title field, enter a title for the issue. You can use this field to enter an issue number.

• In the Subtitle field, enter a subtitle for the issue. You cna use this field for whatever you want.

• In the Deadline field, enter a deadline. This field is optional.

• In the Apple ID field, enter the Apple ID for the in-app purchase (if any) that your customers can use to purchase the issue. (For more information, see "

Setting up in-app purchases ."

• In the Description field, enter a description for your issue.

8 Click Create . The issue is created on the server. You can now upload artices to this issue from within QuarkXPress. (For more information, see "

Exporting an App Studio article .")

Creating an App Studio layout

To create an App Studio layout, choose File > New Project and select App Studio from the Layout Type drop-down menu.

10

| A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1

CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

New Project dialog box for an App Studio layout

The options in the Layout Members field let you create separate layout families for a variety of different devices. For example, if you check Vertical and/or Horizontal for both Tablet

(iPad/Universal) and Phone (iPhone/Android) , QuarkXPress will create a project with two layout families: One for tablets, and one for phones. (For more information about

layout families, see " Understanding layout families

.") This allows you to customize one version of the layout for tablet use, and another version for phone use.

You do not have to create layouts for more than one device. If you check Tablet

(iPad/Universal) , the issue will be automatically scaled down for smaller devices, and the issue aspect ratio will be maintained. You should create a layout for a particular device only if you want to tailor the layout to fit that device precisely.

To specify which orientations you want to support, check Vertical and/or Horizontal for the desired devices in the Layout Members list.

The OS Bar check box controls whether the layout allows room for the status bar at the top of the screen.

When you click OK , QuarkXPress creates a project with a layout family that contains layouts for each device/orientation combination you checked. For more information, see

Understanding layout families ."

QuarkXPress displays the new project in a split view, so that you can work with multiple members of the layout family at the same time. For more information, see "Splitting a window" in A Guide to QuarkXPress .

By default, all new App Studio layouts include an RGB version of black named Black (RGB) .

You should use this version of black instead of the default CMYK Black color to achieve the darkest black in the exported App Studio issue, especially for text.

A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1 |

11 CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

By default, all App Studio layouts export with a white background. To create a different-colored background, draw a colored box that completely covers the page and then send it to the back. To avoid selecting the box as you work on the page, put the box on its own layer and then lock that layer.

Adding interactivity to an App Studio issue

You can add a variety of types of interactivity to an App Studio issue, including slideshows, movies, buttons, sound, and HTML with the HTML5 palette ( Window menu). This palette lets you name and add interactivity to whichever object is selected in the layout.

HTML5 palette

Picture boxes, text boxes, anchored boxes, and no-content boxes support different kinds of interactivity. Options that are not available for the selected item are disabled.

At the bottom of the palette, there is a list of all of the interactive objects in the active layout, including each enrichment type, object's name, and page number. You can navigate to any object listed here by double-clicking it.

Once you apply interactivity to a box, the application adds an icon to the box to show what kind of interactivity it has. To view these icons, make sure View > Visual Indicators is checked. The icons are as follows:

12

3 To make the sound stop when the user navigates to a different page, check Stop Audio

When Page Turns .

4 To specify the location of the sound file, click File (Embed) , then click the button and select the sound file.

Creating a Show Pop-Up action

A Show Pop-Up action lets you display a pop-up view containing either the contents of a QuarkXPress layout in the same project file or the contents of an external file. If you choose a QuarkXPress layout, any interactivity in that layout should work in the pop-up.

If you choose to display an external file, you can use any file that can be displayed in the native mobile browser on your device.

To create a Show Pop-Up action:

1 Choose Show Pop-Up from the Action drop-down menu.

2 Do one of the following things:

• To display the contents of a different QuarkXPress layout, click QuarkXPress Layout , then choose the target layout from the drop-down menu or choose Create New Layout and create a new layout. Enter a page number in the Page field to indicate which page to display in the pop-up. Click the Edit button to display the layout.

• To display the contents of an external file, click File , then click Browse and navigate to the file you want to display, then specify the width and height at which you want it to display. Use the Width and Height values to specify the size at which to display the file.

If you use an external file, the pop-up includes a built-in close button.

3 To offset the content of the pop-up, enter values in the Position Offset fields.

Text in App Studio layouts

By default, text boxes in an App Studio layout are set to export as HTML text. This allows them to be searchable and selectable. However, it also means that you cannot apply some

A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1 |

31 CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

of the higher-end text controls (such as tracking, kerning, hyphenation, and baseline shift) to text in such boxes.

If you want to have complete typographical control over text in a box, choose Item >

Modify and check Convert to Graphic on Export . The box will export as an image rather than as text, so its text won't be searchable or selectable, but you can make it look exactly the way you want it to.

Because the auto-leading settings in WebKit differ from the auto-leading settings in

QuarkXPress, you should avoid using auto leading in App Studio layouts. To achieve maximum similarity between line spacing in the layout and on the device, always use absolute leading values in an App Studio layout.

East Asian features in App Studio layouts

Text features that are considered East Asian features are only available when you have the

East Asian preference enabled ( QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences > East Asian ).

This chapter describes the East Asian features that can be applied in an App Studio layout.

For more detailed information about applying East Asian text features see "Text and

Typography" in A Guide to QuarkXPress .

Using font fallback

When Font Fallback is on, if the application encounters a character that is not available in the current font, it searches through the active fonts on your system to find a font that does include that character. For example, if Helvetica is applied at the text insertion point and you import or paste text containing a Kanji character, the application might apply the Hiragino font to that character. If the application cannot find an active font that contains the character, the character still displays as a box or symbol.

Font Fallback is implemented as an application preference, meaning that the feature is either on or off for your copy of the program. The feature is on by default, but if you need to turn it off, uncheck Font Fallback in the Font Fallback pane of the Preferences dialog box ( QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences ).

Specifying story direction

You can position text so that it runs left-to-right and top-to-bottom or top-to-bottom and right-to-left. To specify a story direction, choose Style > Story Direction , and then choose

Horizontal or Vertical .

Working with grouped characters

Use the Group Characters dialog box ( Style menu) to include a group of horizontal characters, such as Roman characters, within a vertical line of text. Grouped characters always display horizontally and do not break at the end of a line. To group selected characters:

32

| A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1

CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

1 Choose Style > Group Characters .

2 Choose Vertical or Horizontal from the Scale drop-down menu and enter a percentage in the field to the right of the Scale drop-down menu.

3 If you want to change the character spacing, enter a value in the Track/Sending Amount field.

Scale and Track/Sending are only supported when the Convert to Graphics On Export option is enabled.

4 Click OK .

Working with rubi text

Rubi text clarifies the meaning or pronunciation of base text. Base text can run vertically or horizontally, and rubi text usually follows the direction of the base text. Rubi text can be placed to the right of or to the left of base text in a vertical story, and above or below base text in a horizontal story.

The left position in a vertical story and the below position in a horizontal story are rendered correctly only when the box is exported as a graphic.

You can manipulate the alignment, placement, scale, font, color, opacity, shade, type style, and relative size of rubi text. In addition, you can choose from several options that allow you to control rubi text that overhangs unrelated base text.

Some of these features are available only when the box is exported as a graphic.

Use the Rubi dialog box ( Style menu) , the Home/Character Attributes tab of the

Measurements palette or a contextual menu to add rubi text to selected base text.

Auto Rubi can be applied through the following keyboard shortcuts:

• (Mac OS X) CMD+OPT+Shift+R

• (Windows) CTRL+ALT+Shift+ R

Applying emphasis marks

To apply an emphasis mark to a character, select the character, go to the

Character/Character Attributes tab of the Measurements palette, click the Text Styles icon and select the Emphasis Mark drop down to display the emphasis mark options, and then click one of the options. These options are also available in the Home/Classic tab of the Measurements palette and under Style > Type Style .

A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1 |

33 CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

Working with mojigumi sets and classes

The Mojigumi feature lets you control spacing for specific punctuation characters when they occur in particular locations. To use this feature, you must choose or create a mojigumi character class and a mojigumi set .

• A mojigumi character class is a named set of punctuation characters that should always be spaced in a particular way.

• A mojigumi set is a set of character spacing specifications based on the widths of character em boxes. For example, a mojigumi set might dictate that open punctuation should use fixed half-width spacing when it occurs at the beginning of a line, and that close punctuation should use full-width or half-width spacing when it occurs at the end of a line. Each mojigumi set is associated with one mojigumi character class.

To use the Mojigumi feature, apply a mojigumi set to a paragraph. The mojigumi set's settings are applied to the characters in the associated mojigumi character class.

For example, if you do not want a parenthesis to occupy a full em-box width when it occurs between two full-width characters, you can create a mojigumi character class that contains parentheses and then specify in the mojigumi set settings that these characters should always use a half-em width when they fall between two full em-width characters.

Mojigumi features are only available when the box is exported as a graphic.

Working with non-breaking character sets

Non-breaking characters are characters that cannot begin or end a line, and also which cannot be separated from each other at line breaks. The Non-Breaking Character Set dialog box ( Edit > NonBreaking Character Sets ) includes default non-breaking character sets for Japanese Strong , Japanese Weak , Korean Standard , Simplified Chinese Standard and Traditional Chinese Standard .

To create custom non-breaking character sets:

1 Choose Edit > Non-Breaking Character Sets . The Non-Breaking Character Sets dialog box displays.

2 Click New .

3 Enter a name in the Name field.

4 Enter characters in the Enter characters that cannot begin a line field, the Enter characters that cannot end a line field, and the Enter non-separable characters field.

5 Click OK .

6 Click Save .

To apply a non-breaking character set to a paragraph, choose one from the Non-Breaking

Char Set drop-down menu in the Edit Hyphenation & Justification dialog box ( Edit >

H&Js > Edit ).

CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

Fonts in App Studio layouts

Unless you convert a text box to a graphic (see "

Text in App Studio layouts "), you must make

sure that you use fonts that is available on the devices where they will be displayed. For a list of the fonts supported on iOS, see http://iosfonts.com

. Android devices, by default, support only Droid Serif, Droid Sans, and Droid Sans Mono, but additional fonts can be installed.

When uploading layouts to App Studio, you can now use custom fonts, if they are in the

TTF or OTF format. These will be embedded when uploading and therefore can be displayed within your app. If you are embedding large font files, this will increase the file size of your app content substantially.

By default, iOS device fonts are not uploaded. To change this, you can edit the

"StandardFontList.xml" file located in the

QuarkXPress 10 installed location/XTensions/AppStudio

folder.

Hyperlinks in App Studio layouts

To apply a hyperlink to text, select the text and use the Hyperlinks palette (for more information, see A Guide to QuarkXPress ).

To apply a hyperlink to an entire box, select the box and use the HTML5 palette (see

Adding a button to an App Studio issue

").

Groups in App Studio layouts

If you have multiple overlapping picture boxes and graphic text boxes, you may be able to streamline your export by grouping the boxes and then checking Convert to Graphic on Export ( Item > Modify ) for the group. If you do not group such boxes, they all export as separate HTML elements. If you group them, however, they export as a single graphic object.

Synchronizing content between orientations

The commands described in this topic let you synchronize a page's content between the various layouts in a layout family. For example, if you create a table of contents on page

2 of the vertical layout for the iPad, you can use the commands described here to automatically turn that table of contents into shared content and copy it to page 2 of the horizontal layout for the iPad and/or the vertical layout for the Galaxy Tab. You may need to reposition and/or resize the content in the other layouts, but these commands automate the process of getting the content to the appropriate pages in each device and orientation, and they help ensure that that content stays consistent on all of the pages where it appears.

A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1 |

35 CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

For more information about shared content, see "Working with shared content" in A Guide to QuarkXPress . To understand how the commands described below work, you must first understand how shared content works.

Item > Copy to Other Layouts : This command turns all selected boxes into shared content and places copies of them on the same page of other layouts in the layout family. The submenu for this command lets you be more specific about how this copy is performed:

• Same Position : Puts the copies in the same position relative to the upper-left corner of the page, if possible. This option copies items to all other layouts in the layout family.

• Use Relative Positioning : Puts the copies in the same position relative to the page size and shape overall. This option copies items to all other layouts in the layout family.

Updating Missing Files

Multiple missing digital files can now be updated all at once using the Usage dialog.

Reviewing Digital Publishing asset usage

To see which assets have been used in App Studio interactivity in the active layout, display the Digital Publishing pane of the Usage dialog box ( Utilities menu). Like the Pictures pane, the Digital Publishing pane lists the page number (a dagger symbol or PB indicates pasteboard) for each Digital Publishing asset in the layout. It also includes a Type column that indicates the asset type and a Source column that indicates whether the asset is a file or a folder. To view more information about the selected asset, expand the More

Information area at the bottom.

Exporting an App Studio article

Export works differently for App Studio issues than it does for other formats. Rather than creating a single local exported issue file on your hard disk, you upload the exported articles that make up an issue to the App Studio Publishing Portal. Once an article has been uploaded to the server, you can preview it on the App Studio Publishing Portal and in your copy of App Studio Issue Previewer. Once the content is final, you can serve it to your customers directly from the App Studio Publishing Portal.

Before you can export and upload an App Studio article, you must have an account on the

App Studio Publishing Portal. For more information, see "

Understanding the App Studio

Publishing Portal

" and "

Creating an App Studio issue ."

To export the active layout as an article in an App Studio issue:

1 Display the App Studio Publishing palette ( Window menu).

Previewing an App Studio issue

There are two ways to preview an App Studio issue.

38

| A GUIDE TO APP STUDIO 10.1

CREATING AN APP STUDIO ISSUE

The most accurate way to preview your issues is with the free Quark App Studio Previewer app. Download this app from the app store, launch it, tap Change Publication , and enter your login credentials for your App Studio Publishing Portal account. Then choose the publication you want to log on to.

There are two versions of each publication: the published version and the test version. The test version is provided so that you can test your issues on a physical device before you release them. An issue shows up in the test publication only if you have clicked Test for that issue in the App Studio Publishing Portal, and shows up in the regular publication only if you have published it from the App Studio Publishing Portal. (For more information,

see " Publishing an App Studio issue .")

The second way to preview your issues is on the App Studio Publishing Portal. You can click on any issue and view it in a compatible Web browser. (App Studio supports Google

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and any other browser that uses the WebKit browser engine. It does not support Internet Explorer.) You should consider this a secondary way to preview your issues, because not all types of interactivity can be previewed in a browser.

Publishing an App Studio issue

To make an App Studio issue available in your customers' apps, click Publish for that issue in the App Studio Publishing Portal. This issue automatically becomes available on your customers' iPads.

Preparing to submit an Android App Studio app

There are a number of Android app stores that you can submit an app to, including the following:

• Google Play ( https://play.google.com/apps/publish ): As of this writing, you can submit apps to the Google Play app store for a $25 registration fee.

• Amazon Appstore ( https://developer.amazon.com/welcome.html

): As of this writing, you can submit apps to the Amazon Appstore for a yearly fee of $99 (which is currently being waived). Apps submitted to the Amazon Appstore are automatically considered for inclusion in the Kindle Fire Appstore.

The process for submitting an app to the above app stores is similar to the process of submitting an app to Apple. You must create a developer account, then create an app description with supporting pictures and other resources. You can currently submit the same app to both of the above app stores, and both of them offer an in-app purchase feature that allows you to charge for your issues.

For more information, see the Web site for each app store.
