Adobe Content Viewer not installed on V28

Today I updated both my CC and CS6 versions of InDesign, so I now have V28 of DPS tools, however there is no Content Viewer app available for my Mac (Running )SX 10.8.5).
When I try to preview on Desktop via the Folio Builder panel, an error stating that the Adobe Content Viewer couldn't be found comes up.
All the Adobe Support documents go through the process of finding the AdobeContentViewer.air file in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6/ContentViewer folder, but I only have three files in that folder:
Adobe AIR Installer.app
Install Adobe Content Viewer.app
Install DPS App Builder.app
So I can't double-click it to reinstall it.
My Air is up to date, my Updates are all up to date, and I can't find how to unistall InDesign (I am a Creative Cloud subsriber).
I used my Time Machine backup to go and get it from a back up, but it wouldn't install when I double-clicked the old version (I was getting desperate!)
However I can preview the same Folio on my connected iPad running the latest version of the Adobe Content Viewer app
After a live chat, then over two hours on hold for some UK technical support on my land line, and just over an hour on my mobile, plus a Skype call to the US 800 number to be informed of over an hour's wait there, and to discover UK support is only during office hours, and after nearly two hours it has passed 5.30pm, I had to give up on Adobe's official technical support, and resort to more searching on Adobe forums, but have found nothing for CC or CS6 that I haven't already tried, except unistalling and reinstalling InDesign. But I can't find how do that via Creative Cloud. At one point I had to tell one of the nice indian "technical support" staff not to put me back in the same loop as I'd been in twice before as I was close to tears. He sympathised but told me it wasn't his area of expertise - surprise surprise... Not a good day.
Pleeeese, is anyone else having this problem, or has anyone else solved this problem?
Thanks in anticipation

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Viewer.app file, don't look for a file called Install Adobe Content Viewer.air as per the instructions, as they are out of date.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 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 can I delete testing apps off of my Adobe content viewer?

    I have been playing around, and sending different things to the cloud and viewing it on the adobe content viewer (not being published or shared with anyone). I delete them from my folio builder and from the dashboard in folio producer and they are not deleted from my app. I just want them gone. They are not relevant anymore.

    Two things to check: (1) did you remove the folios using the same Adobe ID in the Folio Builder that you're using in the Adobe Content Viewer? and (2) did you create the files using the old prerelease Content Bundler?

  • Can't see my 1920x1080 folio in my iPad library in adobe content viewer

    I would like to make a single .folio to view on iOS and Android.  I'm making it 1920x1080, but when it's been published it only shows up in andoid version of adobe content viewer, not on the ipad. is this a bug or expected behavior?

    That's expected behavior. Only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio (such as 1024x768) appear on iPad viewers. Android viewers display any folio aspect ratio.
    (Tomek types faster than I do.)

  • Could not find the Adobe Content Viewer.

    I have CS6 on my machine and when I try to preview a Folio on my desktop I get the prompt: An error occurred while generating folio preview. Could not find the Adobe Content Viewer.
    I have Adobe Air installed. Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
    thank you.
    PS. I also have CS5 installed and I could not generate preview from CS5 either.

    See this article to install it manually:

  • Adobe Content Viewer Application not Loading in China

    I am having a problem viewing an application I uploaded to an Adobe Content Viewer account. I can see the application just fine in my dashboard after I log in, but when my contact in China logs in using the same username and password, the application does not appear in her dashboard. Do you know how to resolve this? Is there a firewall that is preventing users in China from seeing the application I uploaded?
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Yes, if Adobe's folios could be downloaded in China, it means Chinese Internet sencorship is gone. Imagine how many magazines are there for Chinese people to download that the government won't be happy to see if Adobe's folios is available to download. Sad for Chinese...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Folio not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on some iPads

    I have been working on developing an app for iPad in InDesign CS6 using Adobe DPS. For the most part, the process was working smoothly until recently. Once signed into Adobe Content Viewer on my third generation iPad, the folio shows up fine and downloads as expected. However, when others with older iPads download Content Viewer and sign in, they do not see the folio as an option. For example, a person with a second generation iPad, who has the latest iOS, was unable to see the folio in the viewer. I have stripped the app down to about 40megs, thinking size might have been an issue, but after multiple users have experience identical results, I don't think that is it. Has anyone had a similar issue, and is there anything I can do on my end to make the app compatible with a wider range of iPads?

    Is it a single-folio app or a multi-folio app? If you set up renditions for a multi-folio app, only the appropriate rendition is available for a device. See this article about renditions:

  • Folio not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on ipad

    folio i created in indesign cs5.5 not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on ipad.
    I have CS5.5, Apple ipad 1st gen ios 5.0.1 Adobe content viewer 1.9.1
    the folio appears on the acrobat.com site in the FOLIO PRODUCER
    but nothing is appearing on my ipad in the Adobe Content Viewer.
    I work for a large magazine publisher and would like to demo the folio on the ipad to sell the concept of the DPS.
    However if i cant get this on my device, its going to be a no go.
    Help please.
    Thanks,
    James.

    Thanks Ants,
    Your doubts motivated me to do some testing on the subject;-)
    I made several files of different dimensions, and uploaded them to the cloud. All of them rendered correctly on the desktop. But only those which used exact 4:3 width:height ratio  appeared in the Content Viewer on the iPad. And only those, which were at least 1024x768px. A perfect 4:3 document sized 768x576 did not show. But the 1536x1152 one appeared correctly.
    I am still certain, that the reason of absence od James' file in his iPad was caused by the dimensions of the folio. I would however modify my statement:
    Only the folios sized exactly 1024x768 px (Landscape, portrait or both orientations) are valid for iPad
    It should be: Only the folios sized 1024x768 px or more, with exact 4:3 ratio (Landscape, portrait or both orientations) are valid for iPad.
    Regards,
    Tomek
