Adobe Content Viewer Takes up Entire Screen

Hi Everyone,
Whenever i preview a folio from indesign the content viewer takes up the entire screen and i am only able to see half of the publication.
I tried zooming fit to screen but it didn't do anything. It's the window that won't resize to a smaller size.
I am running on Windows 8 with the latest Content Viewer and Adobe Indesign CS6.
If anyone has a fix for this it would greatly be appreciated!
Thank you ahead of time!

Change the screen resolution until you see the content viewer window .. move it down a little bit

Adobe content viewer grey screen after login on windows 8.1

we're on Windows 8.1, content viewer is not running, after login it shows a grey screen with just "Adobe content Viewer" on the upper left, but nothing working....

I'm sorry Neil, I'm working on a folio on Indesign, if I share the folio from Folio Builder (Indesign) to my account, and then I open adobe content viewer on my iPad, I can see the cover of the folio shared and I can download it.
Instead, with the same account on adobe content viewer (windows 8.1), I see nothing and I can not do any action.

DPS Animation & Full Screen Video functionality failure when viewing mag in Adobe Content Viewer

HI There,
Specifically the following issues are occuring when we view the mag through the Adobe Content Viewer on our Ipad.
All Title animations are not functioning at all (although in the SWF viewer they are working fine)
Although we select the media to be played full screen when we are setting up the videos in the media panel they won't play full screen, but play perfectly well in the place we put them. - full screen doesnt function in the SWF viewer either.
The control bars to control playing, stopping, full screen etc also don't appear on our videos we selected. - doesn't function in the SWF viewer like it should with the control bars working
In terms of how we set everything up just to confirm we are doing it right.
For animations.
1. Select copy to animate
2. Click on Animations panel, chose the preset fade in, selected the time 1.25seconds, animate from current appearance, fade in.
For videos
Our videos are H264 Quicktime videos all 16x9 in ratio
1. Went to media panel.
2. Searched for file to insert
3. Inserted it and sized down the actual physical size of the video to fit in the space we wanted (NB we didn't create a rectangle to put them in or anything)
4. Chose the poster from file
5. Selected skin over play full screen & show controller over rollover
Any help to sort this out would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance

Hi BellaMove:
For the animations:
You have to create a document with the size of the animation you want to create and give attributes using the animation panel of indesign.
Then you export to fla and using Adobe Wallaby pass it to HTML5.
Then place them by the panel Overlay Creator (Web Content). Using the Content Viewer can not see it on your desktop. You'll have to climb the publication in the ipad to see the result.
Do not forget to retouch the css. Read this:
http://digitalpublishing.tumblr.com/post/3898796141/animate-headlines-or-other-things
Is the simplest way to make simple animations I've found.
I hope you find it helps

Adobe Content Viewer, Articulate Studio file

Hello! I am learning DPS bit by bit and have successfully begun publishing my document for viewing in the Adobe Content Viewer on different devices. Here are the issues I am having and the questions associated with those issues:
1. When I publish my document and go to view it on my devices (Android tablet and iPad3), I get a gray box where I should have an Articulate Studio *.html file. I think it may be a memory issue, but how do I truly preview my DPS document so that I see all interactive content? I am assuming it is a memory issue, but it may be a linking issue to the Articulate file, though I am able to see the Articulate file when I preview just that article within my folio on my computer.The total filesize is about 33 Mb and I have seen on other posts that some magazines are 500Mb in size. Is the Adobe Content Viewer limited in its content file size for previewing publications?
2. I have been publishing my file over and over and now have multiple copies of the file in my Adobe Content Viewer on both devices. How do I get rid of the duplicates and have only the most recently updated item on my device? Is this something I can do through the Folio builder online? (I am only seeing one file in the Organizer and Publish Requests.)
Thank you for any help with these questions.
Sincerely,
Amber Price

Thank you so much for the feedback. Yes, I created the file as an overlay (web content) and linked to the html file that is created when you build an Articulate Studio file. Is there a way to have it preview on the mobile device? Do I have to upload those files separately, somehow? If there isn't a way to preview it, does that mean it will not work when I go to publish it for real? In my latest preview, I can now hear the audio, but cannot see the video on my device (but this isn't every time). Another issue: when I go to preview the entire portfolio on my local computer using the Adobe Content Viewer, it never loads the preview--it just hangs on the load screen and I see "Proxy.folio" and the file never loads [see image below].
I have created one folio with articles in that folio and I have changed and updated those articles. I have also tried signing out and back in to the Adobe Content Viewer and I still see the duplicate files. I also tried restarting my devices to see if that would update everything and the duplicates are still there.
Any other help is greatly appreciated! ~Amber Price

Adobe Content Viewer v22 for Android - folio update issue

Yesterday I updated our Xoom to Android 4.1.1 and updated the Adobe Content Viewer to v22. Both we and a client have had issues with not seeing the "Update Available" message for folios that are been updated. The "Updating Library..." message flashes briefly at the top of the viewer in library mode, however nothing changes. It's only after killing the app and restarting that it takes its time while checking the library for updates and finds them. Has anyone else had this issue? The iPad rendition of the same folio has been showing update messages in the usual, almost instantaneous, way.
Has anyone else had difficulty with updating folios in the Android v22 Adobe Content Viewer? In the past couple of versions I've noticed some strangeness with the Sign In/ Sign Out part of the library where it seems like the text tells you you're signed in, but sometimes you have to sign out and sign back in to get updates. Sometimes you could go back to the home screen and then go back into the app and it would trigger a check for updates as well, however that trick doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Andrew

Thank you for the reply Himanshu. Evidently the problem is much worse than I thought because previously created apps don't even open anymore!
None of the apps we have published to the Android app store are getting past the splash screen. The library flashes briefly on some of them before the app crashes. The error message it gives is "Unfortunately, ____ has stopped." This is a big problem!! Will updating the apps to v22 solve this issue? When will Adobe have this major problem fixed?
I'm flashing back to June of last year when reliability of basic functionality (like apps opening and folios being downloadable/viewable) was still unpredictable. You Adobe guys and gals have got to figure out how to make the DPS system dependable. I understand this is an operating system conflict, but surely you knew this update was coming and could test how well your software would hold up to the changes. This isn't a barely used minor feature that isn't working, this is something that makes users uninstall the app and lessens their opinion of the company that released it. Please make this your top priority and get it fixed today. We and our customers are paying for a much higher level of service than this.

Hyperlinks not working in Adobe Content Viewer?

Hey
I'm trying to link a photo to another page in InDesign. It doesn't really matter how I do it, it's mainly important that it works .
So far I have managed to create a working hyperlink from a photo to a page, and it works on my computer. But as soon as I test it out in Adobe Content Viewer, nothing happens when I press the photo.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks!

Here is the link to the navto help documentation as well as a screen shot on how to set it up.

navto://ArticleName#page is the format. ArticleName#0 and ArticleName# will both bring you to the first page of the article.

Need to download folios repeatedly in Adobe Content Viewer

Hi:
We are using Adobe Content Viewer (ACV) for a digital education project. The ACV app is used in iPad´s and when are turned off, we need to download again all the folios previously downloaded to the ACV app.
Someone who has the same problem, how to fix it?.
Thanks,
Oscar

I am using iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.4. and latest ACV, more than 10 gb free.
1. Basically, I download a folio on my iPad device, I can open it and everything is just fine. When I click "remove issues from library" I see both folios, one occupies 28 mb, the other one 48 mb. One is made for viewer version 20 the other for 26.
2. Then, I shut down the device completely and turn it back on after few seconds.
3. I launch ACV, both of those folios appear just fine, until I click on them.
4. Just as I click on a folio, the background appears just light gray, without any content. If I tap on the screen, I don't even get top menu, where I can return to library. So I have to force quit ACV.
5. When I launch ACV again, both folios have the cloud icon next to them, and I need to download them in order to view them, HOWEVER, when I click "remove issues from library" button, I see that both folios are still there with the same mb size.
So, it looks like they are still on the device, but for some reasons I need to re-download them again.
Unfortunately I don't have any other iPads to test these folios.
Just to remind, this happens only to 2 out of many folios, both were made in summer last year, they are not published and are only used on the current device as presentations.
Regarding updates, to be honest, I don't remember if I had this prior to last iOS update, but I might not have noticed that.
Usually, if I see there is an update, I just update it.
Is there anything you would recommend to try?
I have not yet tried to remove ACV from the device and re-install. Or unshare that folio and share it again.

Adobe Content Viewer in iPad dont update the contents on mi Folio Builder! Help!

Please, someone have de same problem?!
When i update my folio through the Folio Builder in Indesign 5.5, the Content Viewer in iPad dont update de folio.
In Acrobat.com i see the contents update, but in iPad/Adobe Content Viewer not.
Why this problem happens?
Tanks.

As I wrote on another thread (and this was directed at Adobe employees)
"I have been closely monitoring many threads here at DPS (and DPS Private Beta Forums) in the last few weeks, and yes I am new to this particular product group having only been in it since March. But I wonder if there is some way that Adobe can be made aware of how serious this issue is with Builder and Viewer and tools "not lining up" with Apple.
"To keep putting this problem on Apple is somewhat of a shopworn technique (and I say this with all due respect.). Still, Apple commands fully 80+ % of the tablet market. They are the big dog.
"Suggestions for the future: Perhaps there will be a way to choose a tools/viewers workflow at startup -- or to put a bigger "red flag" before installing any update that is not yet supported by Apple. Approaching this from the engineering side, you may have forgotten just how many disclaimer screens the average designer/production person faces every week! Many of us don't read them carefully. (Richard Dreyfuss reads them).
"I have nothing but admiration for what Adobe software engineers are trying to do -- and these are nascent times to be sure. But it certainly seems like this launch is going poorly.

How do I view folios in Adobe Content Viewer on device?

Hello,
I have just upgraded to the Creative Cloud. In my newly created folio, I see the icon for Local Folio. How can I get that folio to the cloud, so I can have it downloaded to my device in the Adobe Content Viewer?

Hi Jo,
When you create your folio you can preview it by:
1) Opening the Folio Builder window and clicking Preview > Preview on Desktop at the bottom left
2) Opening the Folio Builder window and clicking Preview > Preivew on Jo’s iPad at the bottom left (only works if you have Adobe Content Viewer installed and open on a plugged in iPad)
To actually compile your app and install the development ipa file on your iPad:
1) Select your Folio in the Folio Builder window
2) From the top, right flag pull down select “Create App”
3) This will launch the Digital Publishing Suite App Builder that takes you through the steps to create the ipa file

Button Function Failure on Adobe Content Viewer

Why do the button functions work well the first time I view them on my iPad's Adobe Content Viewer but do not function properly in subsequent viewings?
For example, the next page buttons work flawlessly during the first viewing on the iPad. But from the second time they functions awkwardly. The Next page button on Page 1 stops functioning. The one on Page 2 takes me back to Page 1.

Same issue-- and it's been a few weeks now. As far as I can tell it is a waiting issue

Use the iPad Viewer to preview content
The Adobe Content Viewer for the iPad is a generic version of the viewer used for testing the digital content you create on the iPad. The iPad viewer is updated whenever the Folio Producer tools are updated.
Note: However, when a new set of tools is released, folios you create with those tools may not work properly until Apple approves the new viewer version. If you try to open the folio, a “Please update your app” message appears. If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer. See
“Create a custom Adobe Content Viewer for iPad” on page
98. Otherwise, hold off on updating the tools or use the Desktop Viewer until Apple approves the updated viewer.

Folio not opening in adobe content viewer

About a year ago, I created a magazine with Digital Publishing Suite for a college course and uploaded it to my ipad in Adobe Content Viewer. It was from a school computer and version of Indesign so I don't think I'd be able to reload the file onto the content viewer app if I needed to. When I open the content viewer, I see the cover of my magazine alongside an Adobe file that says "Release". This Adobe file is newly there, and so is a blue plug icon on the top corner of my magazine. When I click my magazine, the little info "i" turns into a spinning symbol, as if it were loading. However, nothing loads and nothing happens. I left it for hours and nothing happened. When I click to open the Adobe release file, it opens to a light grey screen with no content, buttons, or anything. There is nothing I can click on or do so it forces me to exit and quit the app.
Can someone please help me in figuring out what is causing it to not open? I'm frustrated at this point and am nervous to delete and redownload the app in case my file is lost. Like I said, not sure if it would still be there or if I could get it back again. (I also am signed into the app with my Adobe ID, if that helps)
Thanks!

Unfortunately you need to uninstall and reinstall the Adobe Content Viewer app, and doing so will result in the loss of the folio you see because you added it to the device using Preview on Device. Since you did this a year ago there have been several iOS changes that required updates to the application. There's really no way to resolve this without uninstalling, reinstalling, and then putting the content onto your device again.

Limitations/issues Adobe Content Viewer (Adobe Viewer) on Ipad 1 (not tested on 2)

There a a few problems/limitations I'm running into with the Adobe Content Viewer for Ipad 1 (not tested on 2), like:
Autoplaying more than 1 multiple-state is impossible. Only the object in the highest place in the layers is visible (like having pulsing navigation arrows and a fade in text) -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5
Autoplay of an multistate object with 'stop at last frame' does not work. It just fades the entire multistate object out, instead of holding. -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5.
Cropping Images (changing the objectbox) in indesign, becomes skewed (or squashed) like the image just gets pushed in the new objectbox size.
Buttons with a click image/appearence become invisible in a multistate object. -works perfectly in de windows Adobe Content Viewer with Indesign 5.5.
Some ideas for change
Not allowing an Overlay (which is larger than the page itself) on a page depth of 1, on top of a page with depth 0. Seeing content of the page below the currentpage seems quite unuseful.
Allow multistate objects to autoplay within another multistate object (thus allowing like a: menu catagorie wich can call an autoplaying slideshow)
Zooming in on an image without first having to tap on it to enable zooming.
Updating content button.
Hitting the update button in Indesign cs5.5 (windows) doesn't update all changed content.
Hitting download update in de Adobe Content Viewer (Ipad 1) doesn't change all changed content. Archive and redownload nessesary.
We would love to see the top issues working.

Would appreciate if anyone has inputs on how to solve this.
Thanks!

Hi Lohrii,
thanks for your help!
So I tried the following:
Download newest tools and install it
Create a new blank Folio (v30) with a simple page
Same error while starting preview from InDesign
I will now remove InDesign CC, test it and if this doesn't help I will reinstall CS6.
EDIT
Ok a complete reinstall of CS6 didn't help! I don't know what to do now. Any idea?

Unable to preview folios in Adobe Content viewer using Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210)

Hi,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210) Android Version 4.1.2 .The folios were not displayed and I only get a black screen, despite the fact that I was able to download the Adobe Content Viewer latest android version (3.3.0.0.87854), the Android device was detected by Adobe CC, able to load the folio into the device. I tried re-installing the app, but it did not work.
It may also help to mention that I can't view the DPS Tips App files, also. I was able to download the app and its documents (folio basics, etc.), But the same black screen is displayed when I try to read them.
Are there any programs that I have to download for it to work? Please help.
Thank you for reading.

Our testers looked at this and saw the same problem. Updating the OS firmware of the Galaxy Tab 3 resolved the issue.
