Adobe Digital Publishing Suite v32.1, which was released on Sept. 29, includes the following updates:

DPS Export for PowerPoint

There is now a PowerPoint add-in called DPS Export for PowerPoint that converts Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and 2013 presentations to Adobe DPS folios. When installed, a DPS Export add-in tab appears in PowerPoint. Slide decks can be exported to create folios, with each slide as a separate PNG article. Hyperlinks are preserved, and animations are converted to image sequence overlays.

Local notifications for iOS 8

Local notifications are now supported in v32 apps on iOS 8 devices. Background push notifications can be sent to users who are not entitled to a folio but have accepted push notifications. Users can either view the message then or click a reminder button to receive the message later.
