2.2.3 Edge Animate on Mobile Devices
Since Edge Animate's final output is based exclusively on open standards, which
can be displayed on all smartphones and tablets, you will have no problem
publishing your productions on mobile devices. Of course, you must account
for the more limited features of the device. Especially regarding user interaction,
it is important to watch all the bells and whistles, such as multi-touch gestures,
and make adjustments to the composition when necessary to create a positive
user experience.

2.2.4 Edge Animate and DPS
When creating compositions specifically for use on tablets, the Digital Publish-
ing Suite for InDesign is an exciting option. The program lets you create visually
rich and interactive e-magazines as if you were working in InDesign. Edge Ani-
mate offers special export features for use in the DPS-environment so that your
compositions can be seamlessly imported into InDesign.
2.2.5 Embedding Edge Animate in Other Pages or CMS
Of course, you do not always have to create the entire website in Edge Animate.
You can also use the program for individual elements such as a slide show, an
animated header, or even just a more complex menu. Because Edge Animate
only exports code based on open standards, you can easily integrate an Edge
Animate composition into other pages or a CMS (content management system).
