This article outlines how to use the DPS Overlay to mag+ Designd converter tool. If you are new to mag+ we recommend reviewing our mag+ and DPS terminology glossary that lists comparable terms with Adobe DPS.

The DPS converter tool is as simple as opening InDesign, selecting your DPS Overlay document, choosing the appropriate settings and then importing!

1. Open InDesign

2. Select 'Import DPS Overlay' from the 'Mag+ Designd' menu

3. Click the 'Select' button and navigate to the DPS Overlay document you want to convert

Open a Copy of the DPS Document - Opens the original DPS Overlay document after import.

Create "Auto" Orientation Pages - Forces the layout to be Auto Orientation. If unselected, the tool will retain the original DPS Overlay document's orientation. If the overlay document contains alternate layouts, this setting is ignored.

Move Overlay Items To Pinning Layer - Places DPS elements created as Overlay objects on the B-Pinned mag+ Layer.

Convert All Buttons - Converts InDesign Button objects to mag+ hotspots.

Override Master Page Items - Creates a "local override" of a DPS master page item on each page the master is applied.

 

 

Once your DPS Overlay has been imported you are ready to either export your mag+ vertical, convert it to another device template or modify the design if desired.
