Adobe Content Viewer Stuck

Hello,
I am currently working on a DPS project in InDesign. Everything was going smoothly until the very end.
After updating information in Folio Producer, I went back to InDesign to preview my project for final details and to see if everything was in order.
From InDesign, in the Folio Builder, I clicked to Preview on Desktop.
Since then, I have had the troubles of my folio getting stuck in loading into Content Viewer.
All it says is "Proxy.folio" and the load bar remains at the very small spot it's at.
It doesn't seem to be loading, as I've tried it on different computers and have also let it sit for a few hours.
What could the problem be?
It was previewing fine up until the end.
(Attached: window that Content Viewer is stuck at)
Thank you

Hey guys, I'm sorry, I just now saw that this post got replies. Sorry!
In the end, it worked out that I had to view it on the actual device. The desktop viewer seems very finicky - sometimes it'll work and sometimes it won't.
It's not very handy to have to view it on the actual device. Sometimes you won't always have the device you're designing for on hand! Hopefully Adobe will recognize that.
Good luck guys!

Adobe Content Viewer stuck in portrait orientation

I just spoke to a customer who can only see the Adobe Content Viewer (both versions 1.7 and 1.8) in portrait orientation. His device is rotated horizontally and the Android GUI is correctly displaying in landscape mode. He launches the Adobe Content Viewer and the interface of the app is in portrait mode. No amount of rotating makes a difference. This happens in the Library view and when viewing a folio. The Xoom I’m using doesn’t have this problem. We have essentially identical setups with very few downloaded apps or custom setup, however his Xoom is only displaying the Adobe Content Viewer in portrait orientation. Anyone else have this issue and/or a possible solution? I’m having difficulty coming up with my next troubleshooting step. It’s not a problem with Android as a whole, just the Adobe Content Viewer.

Adobe Content Viewer Slow after Upgrade to ios 8

Hi
I am still in the development phase of my app. I have built it using InDesign.
I have been updating and previewing the app in Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad 3. It was working fine. I upgraded my iPad to ios 8.1 three days back and since then there the app is very slow when i view it in ACV. The page transition is slow, the slideshow gallery grid does not respond even after multiple taps.
Now my ipad is 3rd generation and I am realising i should not have upgraded it to ios 8. But it is very hard for me to tell now if the slowdown is because of -
- ios 8 only
- or because of incompatibility of ios 8 with older ipads (3rd generation)
I tried downgrading my ios to 7.2 but apple does not alllow that anymore, so I am stuck with ios 8.
Any inputs/feedback on this will be great.
thanks in advance.

Thanks Peter, Bob , for your inputs.
Bob - did you upgrade the ios to 8 on our ipad 3?
Mine was working fine with all the preview apps on ACV till i upgraded to ios 8.
Peter - Apple usually do not discount its products even on Black Friday. But I will see if I can squeeze in a new piece to continue with my project. I am also going to try downgrading ios on my ipad with some manual fix, I could not do it via itunes as apple is no more signing ios 7.
Thanks for the inputs.

Problem with Adobe Content Viewer for ipad

Hello,
I created an application from folio bulider 1.350 gigabytes.
Once downloaded using Adobe Content Viewer on Ipad i can display it without any problems, but when I turn off the Ipad or delete Adobe Content Viewer by applications running in the background, and I open again Adobe Content Viewer that I get stuck and does not open.
Adobe Content Viewer I see in the background but does not stay open and do not show my application.
Should I delete the Adobe Content Viewer from iPad, download it again from the App Store and re-download my application.
It could be a problem of size? 1.350 gigabytes is too much?
It could be a problem version of indesign? I use version 5.0
Thanks and looking answers ...
Greetings to all

Hi Prabhjyot Kaur

I cannot seem to find Adobe Content Viewer for my MacBook Pro. Eveytime I try to view it it says that Adobe Content Viewer is missing. My proffersor has it on ger iMac in class and works fine with CS6. Any help????

Looks like Apple has updated the link and is now back up and running.

Adobe Content Viewer: Failure to load folio

Recently I tried to preview a folio on my desktop (mac) at work, and it failed to load. I then tried to add that folio to my current folio builder to see if I could preview it on my shared device....
It then got stuck at the "building folio" with a checkbox stage and never proceeded past it. I had to quit inDesign eventually.
I feel like something got corrupted while trying to preview the multistate object, which then somehow corrupted Adobe Air. Please help!

My Adobe Content Viewer is completely empty. It doesn't matter which account I log into, no folios are ever displayed. This includes folios which were produced and published long ago (and showed up in ACV last week).
I have verified that the folios exist in the account. They show up in the Folio Builder panel in InDesign and in the Folio Producer online. They just will not load in ACV.
I tried on a iPad using WiFi. I also tried on an iPhone over LTE (to eliminate local network issues). Still nothing for ANY account (I tried 5 different ones).
I completely removed the app on both devices (through Usage->Manage Storage->Delete App). Then re-downloaded from Apple Store (v 32.3.0). Still nothing.
I installed a proxy service and watched the responses from the Adobe servers. I do see XML being returned with the folios and their data, so it seems to be an ACV issue.

Adobe content viewer in ios7 hangup

Hi.
I got an strange situation, where Adobe content viewer on ios7 hangs up on certain page of my publication. The same folio works correctly on ios6 and ios5. Latest viewer versions accordingly.
Folio is in pdf format, no interactive objects in that page.
Is something wrong with latest ios and acv compatibility?

Cross reference to Roche: this is why we need alerts, info boxes and
warning signs. people are stuck and have no idea why, but the software does
and tells nobody about it.

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.

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.

How do you download the Adobe Contents Viewer to a Kindle Fire?

Trying to view a folio created in InDesign 5.5 on a Kindle Fire. I downloaded Adobe Contents Viewer and it gives me this error: This issue is available for download, but requires a newer version of the ap Adobe Content. Please update your app from the Android Market. I tried downloading it from Android Market but it still gives me the same error.

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.

Defaulting fonts when viewing DPS articles in Adobe Content Viewer

Hi.
My fonts are defaulting throughout my folio when I view articles in Adobe content viewer.
This folio is a PDF. I have published before and not had this issue.
Is the problem with Content Viewer?
Will the type display correctly when I publish this folio and view in app?
Thank you.

When a font is missing or unlinked that font shows up as a default font.
The fonts in these documents are not missing or unlinked.
When I update the article it fixes the problem, but only temporarily.
The fonts default the next time I view the article.

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

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.

Problem with Adobe Content Viewer

I un-installed every CS5.5 program and updated my CS5.5 to the new Cloud version CS 6.0
I installed Indesign and updated it. The "Adobe Content Viewer" still dont work ??
Please help..

Hi - Thanks for your answer Neil - but i dont have the time to go further more into this kind og endless story´s"... I used more than 6 hours now! - I am in the fortunate position that time is still money....
It seams to be a better idea to go and bye a new computer or "format" your harddisk and re-install everything. No of this panel links or Google-endless-story´s try solving the problem is working for me.
Adobe come on! - You can do better ... when you google this problem, I am certainly not the only one asking.
Just one of the endless story´s and same issue not working
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4977666
This is obviously a to great problem... ?
Have a nice weekend
