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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot log in to The Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad - Says Authentication Failed?

    Cannot login to the Adobe Content Viewer on my ipad.
    Says: Authentication Failed...

    Check two things:
    1) Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
    2) Make sure that the Adobe ID you're using is verified to work with DPS. On a computer, sign in to https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, and follow the prompts.
    Let us know if you have a valid Adobe ID and you're still getting this error.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Content viewer en indesign CS6 no funciona correctamente

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Share message to point user to the Adobe Content Viewer app

    When a user shares a folio, can there be a choice to send a message with instructions to share via the Adobe Content Viewer app?
    Currently, when I share a folio, the other person receives an email which points them to digitialpublishing.acrobat.com and tells them how "once accepted, the folio can be accessed in your Folio Builder panel in InDesign." Now I can see that in many environments that is a perfectly reasonable workflow, but I have found it really confuses clients when you're sharing folios with people merely need to view the folios via the Adobe Content Viewer app. I fielded a few "it's not giving me permission", "What is it I am supposed to do, John?", "InDesign, I don't have InDesign" before figuring out the problem.
    Now I know what's going on, I'm sending them emails saying they don't need to worry about the standard message and digitialpublishing.acrobat.com, but just install the app, login with your Adobe ID, and the app will make the folio available to them. Why can't this route be an option for the sharing instructions?
    John

    Sorry, no idea. We're all just fellow users here and have no insight into the processes within the iTunes Store, and you'll never get a response from Apple in these forums.
    Speaking strictly for me (I'm the only one I can speak for), I'm not sure how Bob Levine would know that Apple is sitting on an update unless he works for Adobe (as he may, though I would think his profile there would say so). But his statement that the version of Adobe Content Viewer is the "original version" is incorrect, if that's what he really meant to say. The version in the iTunes Store is by no means the original, it's up to 1.7.0, and was last updated on May 16th of this year. There may indeed be a new version awaiting approval, though; I have no way of knowing. If there is, though, it would not seem that Apple has been sitting on it for all that long.
    Regards.
