Can't test PDF folio on desktop Adobe Content Viewer

Hi all,
I get an error when I'm trying to test my PDF formatted folio on my desktop Adobe Content Viewer.
I get the error in Dutch (my language) but roughly it translates: "This folio contains one or more stacks that are not yet supported for the Content Viewer for Desktop. PDF stacks are only supported in iOS-viewers."
This happens when I click "preview" in the folio builder. I work on a Macbook with Mac OS X Lion.
Help would be appreciated since I can't find anything about this issue with PDF formatted folio's on the internet!
Thanks.

@Haeme – does not work for me. Sometimes yes, sometimes the Desktop Content Viewer is showing is a gray field.
Will test further, if there are any constraints concerning the rendering process of different objects.
Tested again. I had some MSOs on the second page that prevented rendering. They contain nothing but empty rectangles.
After removing ONE of the MSOs the rendering was fine. Did not matter if I removed the one or the other MSO.

Re: Can't test PDF folio on desktop Adobe Content Viewer

Hi Bob,
I know this is an old thread, but I got this same error while following along with your DPS Essential Training Lynda.com tutorial, chapter "Previewing Your Work" on the desktop, using the tutorial files for that chapter as directed. I'm using CS6, and the viewer version goes no higher than 24; when I check for updates, there are none available. Might this error be related to viewer version or an error in my folio creation?

Bob, Thanks. I figured as much. However, as mentioned, when I try to update through InDesign Help as you recommend in the tutorial, no updates show for Adobe DPS; also when I log in to the Folio Builder panel, I can't even use anything since it's not updated.
To circumvent, I downloaded the most recent update. But when I try to install, I get this message:
DPS Desktop Tools CS6 32.0.0 Update
Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M2P28
Not sure where to turn next as clearly things need to be updated. Thanks for any insight.

After I dismiss the message, the content viewer opens up, but shows only a grey screen.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.8, InDesign CC 9.1 and Adobe Content Viewer 3.3.0. I've tried reinstalling the Content Viewer and AIR, but to no avail. It works fine when I preview on my iPad, the problem is only with the desktop.
Would appreciate if anyone has inputs on how to solve this.
Thanks!

Hi Lohrii,
thanks for your help!
So I tried the following:
Download newest tools and install it
Create a new blank Folio (v30) with a simple page
Same error while starting preview from InDesign
I will now remove InDesign CC, test it and if this doesn't help I will reinstall CS6.
EDIT
Ok a complete reinstall of CS6 didn't help! I don't know what to do now. Any idea?

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?

Need to download folios repeatedly in Adobe Content Viewer

Hi:
We are using Adobe Content Viewer (ACV) for a digital education project. The ACV app is used in iPad´s and when are turned off, we need to download again all the folios previously downloaded to the ACV app.
Someone who has the same problem, how to fix it?.
Thanks,
Oscar

I am using iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.4. and latest ACV, more than 10 gb free.
1. Basically, I download a folio on my iPad device, I can open it and everything is just fine. When I click "remove issues from library" I see both folios, one occupies 28 mb, the other one 48 mb. One is made for viewer version 20 the other for 26.
2. Then, I shut down the device completely and turn it back on after few seconds.
3. I launch ACV, both of those folios appear just fine, until I click on them.
4. Just as I click on a folio, the background appears just light gray, without any content. If I tap on the screen, I don't even get top menu, where I can return to library. So I have to force quit ACV.
5. When I launch ACV again, both folios have the cloud icon next to them, and I need to download them in order to view them, HOWEVER, when I click "remove issues from library" button, I see that both folios are still there with the same mb size.
So, it looks like they are still on the device, but for some reasons I need to re-download them again.
Unfortunately I don't have any other iPads to test these folios.
Just to remind, this happens only to 2 out of many folios, both were made in summer last year, they are not published and are only used on the current device as presentations.
Regarding updates, to be honest, I don't remember if I had this prior to last iOS update, but I might not have noticed that.
Usually, if I see there is an update, I just update it.
Is there anything you would recommend to try?
I have not yet tried to remove ACV from the device and re-install. Or unshare that folio and share it again.

Folios Missing in Adobe Content Viewer on iPad

I'm signed into my adobe account in indesign on my desktop, as well as in adobe content viewer on my iPad. All of the folios I've designed are saved, updated, and uploaded onto my cloud (they are also all visible in my folio panel). However, none of these saved presentations are visible in adobe content viewer even thought I'm signed in. I need to be able to get these presentations onto the iPad as soon as possible.

Same thing with us. I have 35 iPads that I need the content viewable on ACV.
24 are iPad 2, iOS7, latests ACV - I can download, view once, then next time it dissapears
11 are New iPad (4th gen) , iOS7, latest ACV, I can download once, then next time it dissapears
1 iPad Air, iOS7, latest ACV, can download and the folios are persistent. They always appear.
We need a fix for this ASAP. We have presentation using these in 7 days.
More information......
iPad air is on iOS7.0.3 - no problem (not sure if it is software or hardware releated)
iPad 2's are on iOS 7.0.04
10 of 11 of the new iPads (4th gen) are on iOS7.0.4 and folios delete
1 of the new iPads (4th Gen) is on iOS 6.1 and the folios self delete here too.

Viewing Folios with DPS Folio Producer and Adobe Content Viewer on IPad?

What is the path to viewing a folio, on an IPad, that has been published with the DPS Folio Producer.
Opening Adobe Content Viewer on IPad has no obvious path to the folio in the Producer.
There is no obvious path to the library in Adobe Content Viewer, either?
Logged in both with Adobe I.D.
Using ID CS6 on Windows.
Also as a Creative Cloud single member what is the process of being able to publish unlimited apps to the IPad.
Thank you in advance for your response.
James Goins

Unfortunately, if you're on Windows you have no process to publish an
app. You need a Mac.
I wish Adobe would allow Creative Cloud members to use the same process
that Pro and Enterprise subscribers have by exporting a zip file. You
still need a Mac but you can pretty much use any Mac you have access to.
With Creative Cloud to publish a Single Edition app, you must have
InDesign installed on a Mac and you generate the app by choosing create
app from the folio builder panel menu.
All that said, if you create a folio while signed into the folio builder
panel, that folio should show up in Adobe Content Viewer as long as
you're properly signed into it.

Testing on multiple iPads via Adobe Content Viewer

Hi there,
I'm developing a single-edition folio for use at a small conference.
We're hiring iPads for the duration of the day and a few days beforehand. The folio would be used once, and have no further use after the conference (it's got agenda, speaker information and a couple of FormsCentral forms to submit Q&As via). I'm reluctant to publish via the App Store, as our timescales are extremely tight and the app may not get approval in time for the event (our management are notorious for last minute changes!)
I'm wondering if I can successfully load the ACV app to multiple iPads (40), with one Adobe ID and have the folio downloaded to each app for testing prior to the event? Or would I therefore need multiple Adobe IDs to accomplish this (sign-in conflicts)?
It's well out of our budget and remit to use Enterprise edition for a one-off, single use event, however, if I can demonstrate the platform works well - it may be something our department would invest in for longer-term use.
Any advice appreciated, as this is the first time I've done this.

Thanks Bob, I suspected it might be you who replied. Great blog, and very useful!
I've tried creating a new Adobe ID for testing, but I can't sign into ACV with the credentials (it says Authentication Failed), but can sign into Acrobat.com and other Adobe services with those credentials fine... and I can also sign in with my own credentials straight away - so not an issue with the service.
Also - if I try to share the Folio with this new Adobe ID - the email notification never arrives (it's a Gmail address) - I have also tested via another email platform (Office365) and that doesn't arrive either.
Probably just having one of those days!

Cannot locate Folio Overlays or Adobe Content Viewer in Indesign

The problem first started when I was working in the digital publishing suite on an app in Indesign. First I could not preview the app on the desktop. There was nothing wrong with the articles or the folio rather it would load the articles and then just not do anything. I tried updating Adobe and then I couldn't even find my Overlays panel which I had just used before updating. To top things off now my folio producer is not working because it says that a software update is required to use Digital Publishing Suite.

Moved to DPS forum. What version of InDesign? What platform?

Adobe Content Viewer, library downloading issue

I have the free version of the folio building tools currently with acrobat.com as I test the capabilities of the publishing suite for our company. I updated the folio tools, can sign in, create a folio, and it appears OK in the shared workspace on acrobat.com. I sign into the Ipad and open up the Adobe Content Viewer app. I sign in and it gives me the message downloading library. Here is where the problem happens. After it is finished loading, nothing updates. I can't get the folio to load into the Ipad and neither can my workmate who I shared the file with. I made sure the app was completely up to date.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Is this a common problem?

All,
I just worked with another customer reporting the same circumstances, and it turned out that, as part of their migration from prerelease to their purchase of DPS, they had not provisioned the Adobe ID that they used to build their custom Viewer app. I need to know the name of your company, and the Adobe ID used to build your app, to determine if this is the cause of your failures.
Alternatively, if you have not yet purchased DPS, then your failures are due to the shut down of the prerelease program.
Matthew
I just work for the company so I would not be able to get a hold of their Apple ID. We have the Creative Suite and I am working in InDesign CS5 with the updated folio tools extension.
I wanted to confirm that because the prerealease program is shut down, those with the free acrobat.com account can not publish a folio to the Adobe Content Viewer? Because a few weeks ago, we could. I can still see my folio in the shared workspace on acrobat.com

Problems with Adobe Content Viewer for V30 Folios

Is anyone else experiencing problems viewing V30 folios on the Adobe Content Viewer app for ipad and iphone. It asks me to download a newer version of the App but as far as I can see I am using the newest version (3.4.5)

The v30 ACV has not been approved by Apple yet.

Adobe Content Viewer - Folio demo

Hi guys,
I have a question that a client ask to me and I didn't know how to properly answer to it...
I showed him a demo version of a Folio through his Adobe Content Viewer App on iPad.
Then I told him that when the Folio is finalize, we will need to publish it to the iTunes Store in order for this employees to download the app on their iPad.
But the client told me that, an other agency was just sharing the application for FREE by email.
I saw a video of Terry White explaining HOW to share a Folio with an unlimited number of people however, I still have questions :
- Will the FREE folio last forever ? If I share it with 100 people will they be able to use it all the time ?
- If I decide to publish the folio with a single edition will I be able to share this content with an unlimited number of people without using iTunes ?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best,
J.

No way to do that through email. This was possible in the prerelease but no more. That said, the sharing system is based on email addresses. The person(s) you want to share with must have those email addresses registered as Adobe IDs.
Forever is a long long time, but there’s no time limit I know of for shared folios though the Adobe Content Viewer.
Single Edition folios must be distributed through iTunes. The only way around that is through very high priced Enterprise accounts through Adobe and Apple.

Button Function Failure on Adobe Content Viewer

Why do the button functions work well the first time I view them on my iPad's Adobe Content Viewer but do not function properly in subsequent viewings?
For example, the next page buttons work flawlessly during the first viewing on the iPad. But from the second time they functions awkwardly. The Next page button on Page 1 stops functioning. The one on Page 2 takes me back to Page 1.

Same issue-- and it's been a few weeks now. As far as I can tell it is a waiting issue

Use the iPad Viewer to preview content
The Adobe Content Viewer for the iPad is a generic version of the viewer used for testing the digital content you create on the iPad. The iPad viewer is updated whenever the Folio Producer tools are updated.
Note: However, when a new set of tools is released, folios you create with those tools may not work properly until Apple approves the new viewer version. If you try to open the folio, a “Please update your app” message appears. If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer. See
“Create a custom Adobe Content Viewer for iPad” on page
98. Otherwise, hold off on updating the tools or use the Desktop Viewer until Apple approves the updated viewer.

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.
