Hi you all.
I just finished a huge catalogue for a client who, at the end, asked me for a digital version for mobile devices.
I'm completely new to this, can you suggest me a right approach considering that the client want it to be downloadable from the website and from the App Store.Thanks.

Not clear from your wording if what you've already done is a print catalogue or am online catalogue.
If it's an online catalogue and it's built using something like Magento then it should be easy enough to create a digital version for mobile browsing.When it comes to an "app" - you'd be better off just building a mobile version of the site so that it can be viewed on all smartphone platforms and not just apple. Unless the client just wants apple users to buy their products of course.
Someone can bookmark the site on their iphone and it creates an icon just like an app on their home screen anyway.- Yes, the catalogue has been made with InDesign CS5.ItalianStallion

if you created a printed catalog with indesign, you can use the adobe digital publishing suite so that it can be viewed on an ipad

Yes, I'm looking forward for this option.
Looks like the Digital Publishing Suite can build digital versions for both iPad and Android devices but you need a license to send and publish contents on the App Store. The problem is that who owns that license is formally the publisher... so I need the client to buy a license but I would be the one to use it.
I call this absurd...
