mag+ allows you to push content directly from the desktop to a mobile device for an immediate, true preview of what your content will look like on a tablet or smartphone.
Before you begin
- Make sure your Android device and the computer running InDesign are on the same network
- Download the latest version of the mag+ Reviewer app from Google Play
Reviewing layouts from InDesign
1. Launch the mag+ Reviewer on your Android device.
5. In InDesign, show the Mag+ Settings panel.

6. Click on the "+" button under the heading "Push Review to Device".

7. In the window that appears, enter the IP address from your Android device.

Note: Except in unusual circumstances, the port will always be 5000. The only time to change the port is if your systems administrator determines there is a conflict with this port and advises you to use another.
9. In the mag+ Vertical panel, you can now press the "Fast Review" or "Full Review" buttons to push the layout to your Android device.

Things to Note
- "Fast Review" will have the InDesign plugin generate previews of your images, which can be lower resolution, but the push will go faster
- "Full Review" can invoke Photoshop (if you have it configured) to resample images so that they will be of higher quality
- "Fast Review" and "Full Review" will push the Vertical to the device you have selected in the Mag+ Settings panel
- Your Android device should be on and the Mag+ Reviewer running in order to successfully receive layouts pushed from InDesign
- When moving your device from one wireless network to another, your Push Address ID will change -- update the push settings in InDesign in order to push content to the device again
