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!

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:

Is the simplest way to make simple animations I've found.
I hope you find it helps

Interactive elements and even article zoom sometimes freezes on first page in Adobe Content Viewer r31.

Interactive elements and even article zoom sometimes freezes on first page of articles in Adobe Content Viewer release 31 (tested on iPad 3 and iPad Air). If user swipe to second page and return back to first page, all elements works normal again.
Interactive elements are mostly buttons for changing states of multi-state objects, or buttons for opening URL in build-in browser.
What could be the reason? Is there some bug in ACV r31? Or it alocates more memory for the application, so there is less memory left for the content? It wasn't happen before in r30.

hello, me the same thing is happening. I made a folio and he usually worked before the last update of content viewer. the multi-state buttons also freeze and take to work. This bug will be fixed in the next update?

Interactive issue in Adobe content Viewer.

Hi, I would like some help about interactive stuff in an InDesign document.
When i test it in the Preview in the toolbar in InDeign it works … but when i export it to the Adobe content viewer it do not work and neither when i see it in the Adobe content viewer on my ipad. It is things like links, videos and bottoms
Thanks!

You cannot use the Preview panel in InDesign for DPS previews. This is for SWF export only.
You need to start out by reading the documentation and watching the videos on tv.adobe.com.

Some elements in folio not showing up in Adobe Content Viewer

I have a indesign page I uploaded into my folio and when I preview it on my computer and my ipad in adobe content viewer some of the type and logos are not showing up. They do not have any interactive elements
assigned to them just a text box and a placed .eps. Any ideas as to why some of these elements are not showing up?

I made a new document and copied my files over and the folio shows up fine! Something in that file was messed up.

Adding Adobe Content Viewer to Desktop for users without InDesign 5, 5.5, 6

We are starting to sell digital advertising and it would be nice if Adobe Content Viewer could be downloaded to the desktop for these advertisers who do not have tablet devices nor have InDesign 5, 5.5 and 6 on their machine. They are wanting to proof their ads in an interactive format on their desktop.

I also would like to see a Content Viewer for people without InDesign.
Better yet would be the ability to embed a viewer into a Folio, like a flash with a projector.

Problem in Adobe Content Viewer

I have a Enterprise account and a custom Adobe Content Viewer, that's supposed to read a book with interactive objects made in HTML5. However, this reader isn't reading some script that is making the interactive objects impossible to open, and, when it opens, opens with bugs. Considering that the interactive objects opens in all browsers with no problems, I would like to know if there's anyway we can make the interactive objects open directly in the browsers, from the Adobe Content Viewer.
This problem just happens when I open it in PC from a external media.
Please, I need to solve this as soon as I can.

Have you tried logging into http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ with the same account and accepting the terms and conditions there?

Adobe content viewer UI

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help with a little problem I have.
I have been creating a multi page folio and on some of teh pages I created and animation using edge animate. The animation is trigered by a button created in edge animate. I have exported this out as an oam file and the only issue I have is everytime i press teh button the Adobe content viewer UI pops up for a short time.
I have tried placing a large button on the whole page to avoid this happening but it still does it.
Any suggestions as to how to stop this appearing would be much appreciated.
Kindest regards
Simimc

Unfortunetly because the trigger to make the .oam to play is in the .oam, you can't put a button that blocks access to the web-content overlay. It's going to be nearly impossible to maintain the functionality you want while blocking the UI from poping up in the ACV. What you'll need to do is build a test .ipa file to side load onto your iPad. \
When you build the .ipa in the DPS App Builder you need to set the bottom hot zone to the smallest high possible (5%). This will prevent the UI from being triggered by an accidential touch.

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

Edge Animate file turns black when viewed in Folio, but worked great in adobe content viewer before uploading to folio panel.

What am I doing wrong?
I created simple animations to work in DPS. Basically hot spot button that toggle on and off showing features and benefits. When viewed and tested in adobe content viewer, everything worked great. Now that I am ready to upload the folio as an ipa app. The animations turn black over the image that it is supposed to be on top of.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Neil, that worked once I'd installed it directly into the Applications folder, not within a subfolder.
So if anyone else has this issue, install the Desktop Viewer app for CC and it works for both CS6 and CC.
NOTE, that you need to double-click the Install Adobe Content Viewer.app file, don't look for a file called Install Adobe Content Viewer.air as per the instructions, as they are out of date.
Phew, I have finally got all my DPS functionality back, and have created a V27 app using V28.

Adobe Content Viewer app

Hi Guys I created my interactive document on Indesign 5.5 yesterday. I can view it on my desktop 'Adobe Content Viewer'. Is there a way I can view my document on the iPad without buying the expensive Adobe Digital Publishing suite? I don't want to publish the document, I just want to text it on the iPad? When I log into adobe acrobat I can't organise the files, I can only view the workspace!? Also the 'Adobe Content Viewer app' keeps telling me it needs to be updated?? Can anybody help?

Bob,
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.

Adobe content viewer 1.7 sideloading

This a critic regarding the decision to disable sideloading with Adobe Content Viewer app on the iPad. In my case, I've been working on an interactive magazine for a university project ending my bachelors degree in graphic design. The iPad media is so promising that is why I decided to work on such a project with the Adobe Digital publishing tools provided during its beta program. Yesterday I noticed that I could not anymore upload my designs on my iPad and to be honest I was totally frustrated. Adobe, how do you expect designers and students to explore and gain experience in digital publishing if basic tools cannot be used! When I show off my work, People were always curios about how I managed to produce my work, thus selling and talking about the solutions Adobe is working on. now I have a digital magazine I worked on for 5 months and it just sits on my computer, I feel Adobe just doesn't understand how new medias like the iPad should grow within the designer community. I also want to point out that I used the complete creative suite to make my university project, isn't it enough to guarantee the possibility to use Adobe Content Viewer to experiment designs and user experience?

Hi Andy,
The way to add in that missing information is via the Folio Properties window. If you build your cover art, in horizontal and vertical orientations, and upload it via the folio properties it should show up in the Content Viewer index page. You can also add a Publication Name in the same window.
1. Highlight a folio and select "Properties"
2. This will open the Folio Properties window
3. Click on the folders next to each Cover Preview window and select your files.
4. Add the name of your Folio into the "Publication Name" field.

Adobe Content Viewer for Web?

Can someone please tell me if there is a way to share a Folio for review without an iPad and of course without Indesign that includes it's interactivity? I know you can share a Folio online through DPS Folio Producer but all you get are large thumbnails and none of the interactivity. The DPS features site lists an Adobe Content Viewer for Web but gives little detail other than that. Basically I need to share this Folio with all it's glory to a few people who do not have an iPad or Indesign.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

FilipeVSpeck, with this "web viewer" you could share your Folio in a browser with all interactivity working fine?
Let's say our client wants to publish a magazine for iPad, and also wants to have it available in their website. So, since users download "adobe content viewer for web" they will be able to read the magazine in a desktop (pc and mac) with all interactivity ??

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!

Using Adobe Digital Editions and Adobe Content Viewer on Blackberry Playbook

Hello, we have a Kobo eReader and a Blackberry Playbook. We would like to sign out eBooks from our library but are having challenges. We seem to be able to download the eBooks to the Kobo eReader, but can't seem to get the same connectivity with the Playbook. The ADE will not recognize the Playbook as a separate computer so I can't authorize that device. I found Adobe Content Viewer on Blackberry World and it is supposed to interact with digital documents. I have tried to sign in with my Adobe ID on it and it will not recognize ID/Password although I can log in here just fine. Some help here would be appreciated.

Try Overdrive app http://apps.goodereader.com/playbook/blackberry-playbook-reading-and-news-apps/?did=180
You should be able to borrow, download and read library books on the Blackberry without using ADE at all.
I haven't tried it, but look into the Aldiko app http://apps.goodereader.com/playbook/blackberry-playbook-reading-and-news-apps/?did=181
That page also mentioned Moon+ http://apps.goodereader.com/playbook/blackberry-playbook-reading-and-news-apps/?did=182
I use Bluefire, but not sure if it is available on Blackberry.
