Folio Builder Articles Update broken?

I cannot get Article Update to work since updating the Folio Builder panel. The file seems to compile and upload. But after the upload a gray spinner appears next to the article in the panel list, and I'm unable to access it. I've let it run for 20-30 minutes to see if it was just a slow connection, but it seems to be stuck.
The only workaround seems to be to delete the article and select Add to upload it from scratch, losing all of the article properties in the process.
After selecting Upload, nothing in the Folio Builder panel works until I delete the article with the spinner, then close and restart InDesign.
Article thumbnails are missing now, too (but only on articles uploaded with the new builder panel). And I can't open articles from the Folio Builder panel any more.
Using InDesign CS5.5.

Not sure if anyone still has this issue... I have Adobe InDesign CS6, with the newest updated version of DPS. I was having the same issue when adding articles, the pin wheel would just run without end, tried all different formats, nothing.
Finally, I realized that I had been working off of an InDesign file located on a server, so I Packaged my InDesign File and transfered all my files onto my local Hard Drive (onto my MacBook Pro)
Tried the steps again and voila!
Worked for me

  • Folio preview does not work!! since Mandatory Folio Builder Panel update!

    hi everyone
    my grafic team told me that the folio preview in indesign does not work anymore since the required folio builder panel update!
    working on mac and cs 5
    please help
    best regards michael

    I just spoke with a member of our team and they were able to reproduce this issue: invoking folio preview from the file menu brings up an empty panel instead of launching the desktop preview tool. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! There are two ways you can work around this and get the desktop preview application up with your content:
    1) Use the preview button in the Folio Builder panel (this will preview the entire folio)
    2) Use the preview button in the Overlay Creator panel (this will preview the active InDesign document)
    This problem only affects CS5 and CS5.5. If you are on CS6 the menu will work correctly.

  • Can not update folio's since latest Folio Builder panel update

    I want to add articles to my folio, but since the latest update after uploading one page (say vertical) the Folio Builder keeps spinning (see image) and if I log on to the website it syas articles are corrupt.
    Now I need this folio to be updated before tomoroow and I'm stuck here?
    Bug?
    Os X 10,6, InDesign CS5,5 7.5.2, Folio Builder 1.7
    See screenshot.

    It looks like we are experiencing the same problem. (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/924524?tstart=0) The common thread seems to be uploading pages as PDFs -- the publication I was working on was also set up that way.

  • InDesign folio builder software update required

    I recently downloaded the English version of InDesign from Adobe Creative Cloud. I created an article. I opened the folio builder. The software update required popped up. I updated the required software. When I tried using the folio builder afterwards, the same icon message appears. What can I do to solve the problem?

    You need to update your software. Download the latest version from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html.

  • Problem with login in Folio Builder after update to v26

    After updating to v26 I can't sign in to Folio Builder. Whan I press «sign in» either in panel or in panel menu, nothing happens.
    Help please!

    You can try downgrading to downgrading to older version:
    Mac: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dpsdesktoptools/mac/2.06.1/AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch -All.dmg
    Windows: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dpsdesktoptools/win/2.06.1/AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch -All.zip
    Update:
    If you have cracked (Illegal) InDesign, I wouldn't work. If you don't know, if it is cracked, go to help section and look for Log In and Update buttons, when they are disabled. If they are, you have cracked (Illegal), you need to buy InDesign.

  • No longer able to sign into Folio builder after updating

    I just did the update to the Folio builder as indicated in this thread: Announcement (August 16) - Web Service Update
    Now I cannot log into the Folio Builder, I amd shown the following message in the Folio Builder Panel:
    You do not have a compatible Digital Publishing Plug-in. Click here to download the Folio producer tools.
    Which I then did, but still doesn't work.
    Please advise.

    You ran the two Folio Producer updates to take DPS to version 1.1.1, yes?

  • Folio Builder Panel update error

    Tried updating folio tools 3Xs. Keep getting this eror:
    A newer version of Folio Builder is available for download.  Update Folio Builder panel to latest version here.
    Have quit inDesign, restarted the computer, logged on and still get the error.
    Any ideas?

    There was a short amount of time where the link in the Folio Builder panel was redirecting to the old download still, but it should be working now.
    You can head directly to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html to get your downloads. Make sure that the file is from November 17th.

  • CS5 Folio Builder Panel Update - Panel Gone

    I just updated the Folio Builder Panel for CS5 on Mac to the latest version (Jan 26, 2012) and when I run InDesign, the Folio Builder Panel is no longer there. Also, the CSLive panel gives me an "internal error" message. I installed the updates on my PC for CS 5.5 and it all seems to work. However, I need to work in CS5 for this particular project. Is this a known issue? How do I remedy the situation? In case it matters, I also updated the Folio Producer Tools (Jan 17, 2012), as well.

    So, I ended up getting everything ironed out, though it took a couple of hours of trying various things. Essentially, the Folio Builder Panel was installed, however Indesign was not seeing it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign, but that didn't remove the Folio Builder Panel, and did not "refresh" it to become visible.
    Ultimately, I had to go throught the app folders and manually uninstall the extension. After reinstalling, the panel showed up. However a new problem emerged. Indesign was trying to login to my account but just spinning and nothing was happening. I could not cancel the "sign in" attempt. Finally, this was resolved by opening key chain and deleting the Adobe entry from there which allowed me to reenter my credentials.
    Whew. Thank goodness that's over. (until the next update, that is).
    Hopefully, this can save others some time who may run into this. Seems like it was a bit of a fluke.

  • Folio producer tools update required to use folio builder but content viewer app not available

    Hi,
    I have a problem with DPS Folio Producer tools.
    We are unable to use Folio Builder to update our iPad presentation to the cloud because we keep getting this message: An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download Folio Producer Tools.
    We have previously done this only to discover that the new version of Folio Producer Tools is incompatible with the Content Viewer and the new Content Viewer app is not yet approved, or available from Apple.
    So we have done a rollback to a previous version of the Folio Producer Tools which worked for a few hours, but is now prompting for the update again - but as explained above we cannot download the update until the Content Viewer app is available.
    HELPPPPPPP!!!

    This is the DPS model.
    When a company thinks first about monetizing solutions instead of making it an extra option.
    You are not free anymore to use the tools you want, you must follow Adobe's decisions to update online apps.
    Online apps are everything but good.
    You will have to wait until the Viewer gets approved by Apple.
    Dear Adobe: do you see how many people come here because they don't understand how your technical model works?

  • Some suggestions for DPS Folio Builder and Producer...

    Aside from some speed improvements, these tools fall short of a decent production system. Some improvements would be good for 2015.
    • red light / green light on wether an article in the folio builder needs updating.
    • put the order of the Kicker and the Article Title in the order it appears in the app (in Folio Producer) (i.e.: Kicker first!).
    • frequently after signing in to the Folio Builder, Indesign 'hides' itself and the finder appears. Irritating! Doesn't crash InDesign, just hides it in the dock.
    • On leaving the Folio Builder for a period, and then tapping on it - say after one hour dormant, it crashes InDesign, regularly.
    • it would be great to drag and drop several articles in Folio Builder and be able to move them. Currently only one at a time seems to work.
    • show a small thumbnail in the article of the indesign page (instead it shows a white page)
    • in 'article properties' KICKER should be at the top to replicate where it displays in the HUD. So many people get mixed up with this.
    • it would be great to change the name of an article by clicking on the name - not having to change 'article properties' - the same way that MSO names can be edited
    • would also be good to select the various options for articles in the FB by holding down CTRL or ALT
    • have an option to 'UPDATE ALL' in the drop down options in FB
    Just some ideas - these would all help greatly.

    I'd love to see native widgets in the Folio Overlays window like in Muse (or Twixl) for Google Maps, Youtube and others.
    Also more transitions for slideshows, and better image resolution for PDF articles (108ppi or 72ppi for graphics, depending on what you're doing, isn't enough for my clients).

  • Article automatically closes after updating the article in the folio builder?

    For some reason, every time I update an article in the folio builder, the article closes automatically - this is extremely annoying because I like to keep all articles open while working and hate that every time I update, I must reopen it. It seems to be a setting but I've searched preferences etc and can't find any setting to turn this off?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Hi there!
    Thank you so much for your reply -
    It is only happening with a particular folio yes (my ipad rendition in particular). Other folios update and do not close the updating article.
    I'm using the latest cloud version of InDesign - whichever one in the creative cloud app that's currently running. And I use Mac.
    I reset the preferences as you suggested but it is still closing the article - it's very strange because it only does it with that particular folio. At least it only does it with that folio or I'd pull my hair out haha

  • After update Folio Builder Panel 1.1.3. articles keep on loading

    Hi all,
    After updating the Folio Builder Panel as requested (by the panel it self), we are unable to acces any articles. A loading icon keeps on animating and the article-folders stay grey. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Looking forward hearing from you.
    Regards,
    Remco van den Hout

    The good news, your'e not alone. The bad news... Adobe doesn't really have a fix at this point.
    It's a problem where the DPS thinks you are trying to update those articles, and they don't ever get reset to a state of "updated". The only fix I was able to do, unfortunately, was to trash the folios and reupload the whole thing again. It's unclear at this time where the problem was introduced so it might take a while for a fix.
    It was a major pain to have to do this stuff over again – but I know that the issue has been documented and they are looking into it.
    I recommend you make a sidecar.xml file with all the folio descriptive copy. This way, if you have to do this process another time, you can import the sidecar file and it will populate all of your articles again a lot faster. You might have to still adjust the order in a few cases... but it works pretty well. Info on that here:

  • Folio Builder: An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.

    I have been working on a Folio. When I sat down to work on my folio, I was instructed by indesign to update my Folio producer tools, which I did.
    Since then I can no longer view any article layout from that folio in indesign. Indeed any folio that I create that does not reside on my desktop give the same problem. I can import articles, add articles and they all upload to the proper place at adobe and I can view them. But I simply cannot open them up through folio builder as I previously.
    The exact error message is as below:
    An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.
    The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
    Another strange thing that seems to be happening is that the folio will randomly reoder the articles in the folio.
    I have dumped my indesign prefs, tried creating an entirely new project, made a new account and even reinstalled the entire software.
    But the problem of opening an article that I have imported or added to a folio, simply not being found to open has got me stumped. I can't proceed with a major project until I can sort this out.
    Can anyone help.
    Many thanks

  • ADOBE DPS - Viewing Article in the Cloud from Folio Builder

    Hello Everyone
    Learning DPS and using Indesign CC and uploaded my folio with articles to my Adobe viewer in the Cloud.
    It is on show there in my library on my wife's iPad  -  BUT when I wish to download to view the file a dialogue box says 'It's ready to download but have to uodate my Adobe Content Viewer. There is also an icon at the base of the file with a page with strike through line on it.
    Am on the latest Content Viewer and no update available - have signed in as me for the Adobe viewer too. I have no dialogue selection on Folio Builder that comes up to say PREVIEW ON MY DEVICE.
    What have I missed to not be able to view and swipe the work I have done... Did I need to hard wire my mac to the ipad with a USB cable as I have heard (even though there is no USB port on this recent model?).
    Any input would be welcome and thanks: Daz

    This is noted at Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes:
    With a recent July hot fix, updating the DPS Desktop Tools results in the "v32" viewer version mistakenly appearing in the Viewer Version pop-up menu. When creating a folio or editing folio properties, do not select v32—v32 folios are not compatible with the current v31 viewer apps. Instead, select v31 or earlier. (We recommend using the default v26 setting.)
