Content Viewer and interactive charts

Hello
I have created an interactive chart using HTML5 and Javascript and imported in InDesign using the Overay--> Webcontent.
The animation and the interaction is working well on the iPad2, but when I click on the screen to interact with the chart the menu of the Content Viewer is appearing and disappearing. I find this very disturbing.
Do you know how it is possible to avoid this? It would be nice if the menu would only appear when I click somewhere on the page but not on the interactive chart/web overlay.
Unfortunately on Android (Galaxy 10') the animation and interaction are visible but very very slow....
Thanks!!

I am trying to open a website that is using Microsoft content viewer, and the page does not show. Any ideas on how to view this site using firefox. It works on IE.

I am participating in an online class whose website uses Microsoft Content Viewer to view the class content. The browser opens a new page, but nothing is there. At the top of the tab it says Microsoft Content Viewer, and nothing else. Can anyone tell me how to view my course using Firefox? I would prefer not to use IE, but it works there.

When originally creating the pdf, you would need to choose another pdf conversion setting. In Word if you use the pdf menu, change your settings there: Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. I would use High Quality Print instead. If you use the File > Print method, click the Properties button next to the Adobe PDF printer selection.
For your already created form, you can change the file so your users will not encounter issues. In Acrobat 9, which hopefully is similar in process to 8: Advanced > Preflight > Profile tab > PDF/A compliance > Remove PDF/A information.(You'll have to unsecure your form first).
You can read about PDF/A files in the Help.

Adobe Content Viewer/no interactivity or animation

We're running InDesign CS5.5
I work at an advertising agency and just had my IT department update my extensions to:
Folio Producer Tools v.1.10.1
Folio Panel v.12.2.2.1
I also updated my Adobe Content Viewer App on my iPad 2.
My problem:
The pages show up in Content Viewer, but no interactivity or animation of any kind works now. It used to.
Thanks,
Aaron

[Animations DO NOT work with PDF! It’s SWF only.]
You are right, I was remembering a robust presentation we did a while ago and we hosted it as an SWF file on the web. I thought it was a "PDF (Interactive)." Thanks for setting us all straight.
Much to your benefit... I spoke with another Art Director here and we figured out why my elements weren't working.
Here are the answers for everyone's benefit:
1. SCROLLABLE FRAME: I didn't include the Empty graphic box on the far right of the active viewable area. (See Bob Bringhurst's "Digital Publishing Suite Tips App")
2. All BUTTONS must be scripted "On Release" (I incorrectly had it as "On Click")
3. My second BUTTON was an info icon that I wanted to show a modal [pop-up] window and then have some way to close that new window.
Incorrect way:
I made both the info icon and the modal window as buttons and used the "Show/Hide button" actionscript. This doesn't work with "On Release."
Correct way:
Make the modal window into a Multi-state Object.
State 1= No Fill/empty graphic box. State 2= the complete modal window. State 1 is the default view so it appears blank when the viewer first sees the page. The info icon button "On Release" shows State 2.
To make the modal window disappear, create a separate No Fill/empty graphic box DIRECTLY OVER the modal window. (Don't to forget to add an "X" or "Close" into the design as a visual clue only). Make this empty box a button and have it script "On Release" to show State 1 of your multi-state object modal window.
Thanks to you guys! I'm sure I'll have more. And thanks a million for the App with tips Bob B., keep updating this please!

The latest Content Viewer and HTML5

I have a publication on my iPad which played fine on the previous version of the Adobe Content Viewer. The folio has an html animation in a web overlay. The animation no longer plays properly. I note that this folio previews correctly on the desktop viewer. I created another version of this folio as a pure html "stack" -- same problem.
I'm working on a MAC OSX 7.62 and ID 5.5. Everything is updated.
It requires a certain level of confidence in the product to get out there and pitch the work to prospective clients. I don't have that.
As of this morning Adobe has a market value of $14 Billion --- seems to me the company could afford to QA releases and maybe hire some interface designers.

Hi, Johnm64,
have your animation any interaction?
I have another experience: I'm trying to make an animation with interaction in html5, using Hype. It works fine on the Hype's preview and in the desktop viewer. But when I try the content viewer, it lost its orientation - the layout is vertical and i don't know why it appears horizontal.
Who can help me?
Tks,
Renata

Upgrade To Adobe Content Viewer and Folio Tools

I am trying to view DPS work on the ipad (created with Indesign). I am able to upload the work into Acrobat with my ID, but when I try to view it on the Ipad- I am told that I need to upgrade Adobe Content Viewer. However this is still not available? I tried going to a computer with an earlier version of the Folio Tools, but Indesign prompts me to update the versions, and will net let me work unless I do that.

Moved to DPS forum.
Are you using PDF format for the folio? If so, that is unsupported in the desktop ACV.

Problems to download folios in the content viewer and in the app viewer

Hi there!!
I am having a problem and want to know if somebody can help me.
Since a few days, in 9 folios whose particular being very heavy (170-350 MB) can not be updated on the Ipad. On our test Ipads appears a message that the server is not responding.
Before last thursday I made multiple changes and updates to these folios and I doesn‘t have any problem to upload from InDesign and download and update the foliosin the Ipad. Even I built the viewer in the app builder and published one of the folios and the problem is the same.
I create an app (single folio) directly from InDesign using my creative cloud user and the app works good, but the idea it‘s include this folio in a viewer with many other contents.
Any advice!
Thanks!
Mauricio

Hi John,
This problem is new to you or already had before?
Because for me it‘s new, I've been working on these folios over a month, rising corrections uploading from InDesign and testing on ipads many times and had not had this kind of trouble!

Characteristic Hierarchies and Interactive Charts

Hi,
I have two characteristics hierarchies (sales organizations and material) defined as rows and 3 key figures (sales quantity, amount and value) in column format for a specific queries.
Now I want to design two combo box, respectively for two characteristics hierarchies. say combo box 1 (Sales organizations) for hierarchy one and combo box 2 (Material) for second hierarchy.
I want the combo box 1 should contain the unique values of sales organization hierarchy and combo box 2 should contain the unique values of material hierarchy.
Now depending upon the selection value of sales organization level and material combination, an ineractive chart should be displayed to show the corresponding values.
I think we need to use VB macro to do the above. Please help
Cheers
Rajiv

Hi Rajiv,
I think it is not a trivial task. Dont know wether it is possible at all.
First of all, you need to understand the purpose of this chart: what a user wants to see and compare. Second, you need to determine how the chart should look like. The best way to figured out the latter is to play with a chart in Excel. I did it a little and have seen that 3-D chart you mentioned is not illustrative. Maybe its better to fix an SO value and show materials and one of the KFs in a 2-D diagram?
So, you need to construct a chart you need in Excel manually first. When you have a clear picture what you have in rows and columns, itll be much easier to figured out if it is feasible in BEx.
Best regards,
Eugene

Viewing and Interacting with WebPage inside a PDF?

Would like to develop a PDF similar to the 'FRAME' technology used in basic webpages.
I have subforms acting as headers, footers, body and right navigation toolbar.
I want the PDF to load a specific URL into the Body subform upon Form:Ready.
Then, upon a command (TBD) - hide that subform (within the Body) and show another subform in its place.
Is this possible?

This is not possible using PDF.
Choose Adobe Flex instead, which helps to design using a rich set of components and provides much flexible usabilities.

Is there any other way to view and interact with notes except through Mail?

Using the iPad I really like using notes as a stand-alone app. Is there a way to do this in OSX or can I only access my notes through Mail?
If only through mail, can they live someplace other than my inbox?
Thanks

To not have them in your inbox, go to Mail Preferences ->Accounts->Mailbox Behaviours then uncheck the box that says 'show notes in inbox'.
There are other 3rd programs that can manage your notes, but Mail is the only native OSX app that does that.

Adobe Content Viewer crashes with particular layout

Hello all,
I have two layouts I've added to a folio, the first is a smooth-scrolling layout and the second is a snap-to-page layout. It works perfectly until I add the horizontal layouts of the second set.
What I found most unusual is that everything works fine viewed vertically, but crashes on trying to view the horizontal layouts ( horizontal layouts uploaded by other team members in the same folio work fine somehow ). It works fine horizontally until I add the second set of layouts. The crashes happen only on the iPad, and works fine viewed on Content Viewer from the desktop. It's not just me either, other members are also having crash issues with my layouts..
The horizontal layout is identical to the vertical layouts, and I'm not getting any sort of error messages, so I can't tell what's causing the folio to crash. What's going on?

My folio still does not work. I've isolated the problem to one particular layout. When this article is in landscape layout, it causes the Content Viewer to crash. I have no MSO with the same name, and I've checked all the interactive objects and overlays to see what's causing this problem. It worked perfectly before the update to the new Content Viewer and before I updated the tools. The article also works fine in portrait view, and it has the exact same objects and interactivity. This is extremely frustrating, and I could be looking for hours to find what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Content Viewer Crashes

Hi, I have a problem with abode content viewer on my ipad and my iphone. It crashes constantly eventhough the folio size is very small.
The folio includes 26 articles. They all have a splash page as the first page which is a simple graphic designed in Indesign.
21 of the ariticles have 18 pages each including 2 web content frame that collect the data from the host.
Overall, the folio act like a directory with many categories. So even there is no big image file in the folio itself and all the images are called from the host when you open the page.
But when is switch between pages it chrashes most of the time on my ipad 1, some times on my ipad 2 and some times on my iphone.
Do the web contents make this issue?

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

Sorry to ask again... sharing folio in Adobe Content Viewer

First, I'm very impressed with the Adobe Content Viewer and CS 5.5. IT WORKS JUST GREAT!
I've uploaded my files and have been able to see my interactive content.
Thanks for making the viewer a free app, because, according to the posts I've seen, I will be able to share my app, as I test it.
HOW DO I DO THAT, short of sharing my password to my free acrobat.com account? I don't want to do that!
How do I share, without giving everyone my password to my account?
I realize that they sign up for the free viewer--and their own acrobat account. But how do they get to my content? Where do you put THAT address? Is there a button I'm missing in the content viewer that points to 'other' content?
I know I'm missing a step...and sure could use a very simple explaination.
THANKS!
ADOBE ROCKS, almost all the time!

See the "Share folios" section of this article:

Private app distribution: dev version / testflight / adobe content viewer / b2b distribution

Hi Adobe Community!
I am finalizing an app for my company that is supposed to be distributed only among our distributors. Apple rejected my Enterprise inquiry since our distributors are not our employees. I wanted to sum up my distribution options now and ask you for feedback. I do not plan to use App Store.
1. B2B distribution through apple
I can distribute custom b2b app through Apple, but it is available only in few european countries and this does not cover our needs since we cannot supply to all distributors. Also the process looks very complicated and I'd like to not use it.
2. Adobe Content Viewer distribution
If I tell my customers to download Adobe Content Viewer and sign in with my Adobe ID, the newest version of folios will be automatically downloaded to their devices?
Also on Adobe website it is stated that my folios should be automatically uploaded to Adobe servers - but they are not. From what I read on the forums I understood that it is only available to Creative Cloud subscribers, is it right? If I subscribe will I be able to use this way for as many users I want?
3. Developer version
Finally I know that I can distribute dev version. I will have to register devices UDIDs but they will expire (after what time?) and how many UDIDs can I register (I read in different places that I can have 50 or 100 testers).
4. TestFlight
What I undestood so far is that facilitates developeloper version distribution, but wouldn't I be able to use this tool to go around UDIDs expiration?
Thank a lot!

With DPS enterprise and Apple enterprise account, you can built and deploy enterprised signed app internally within your organisation. Create the app, deploy and host it internally, so anyone who has access to the link can download the app. Not sure if Apple terms allows your distributors from outside your organisation to access and download the app hosted internally within your organisation, check that with Apple.
If Apple terms does not allow, then you can use DPS restricted distribution method to deploy the app on the Appstore, but allow someone access to the content only if they are authenticated via the app, called direct entitlement or restricted distribution. Go here for details: Using restricted distribution with Digital Publishing Suite
Signing in to ACV does not automatically download the latest folio. Your folios are always uploaded on Adobe servers, you cannot host it somewhre else. Anyone can create, upload folios and see the folio in the Adobe Content Viewer. But publishing the folio to be available in an app requires DPS subscription.
You can register upto 100 UDID's on Apple dev portal. I don't think the UDID's expires so long as your Apple Dev account is active but the certificates expires exactly one year from the day it was generated.

How many iPads can use one content viewer login?

Hi all,
We have a client who is wanting an app built in the next few months but needs a smaller version up and running in the next few weeks to get them out of a tight spot.
I've suggested that we give them an Adobe ID seperate to ours and load the interim app up there for reps use while we keep building the final one seperately.
My question is, how many iPad's can use that login and download the app to the content viewer and use it like that. They will need to use it on about 40 iPads...
(I hope my question makes sense)
Cheers
G.

Unfortunately the only time an Adobe ID belongs to the company instead of the individual is when the company signs on as a DPS customer and creates the ID under their master admin account in the DPS admin portal. All other uses of Adobe ID belong to an individual and not a company. In short, Adobe tech support isn't going to be able to help a company "reclaim" an Adobe ID if it is used this way.
Just fair warning for those that are sharing Adobe ID credentials and using this method to share content.
