Communication from Adobe around recent issues

John Metzger asked me to post the following message:
>>>>>>>>>>
An open communication around recent issues reported with the latest deployment of Adobe Digital Publishing.
I’d like to open a direct dialog between the Adobe Digital Publishing team and current customers (pre-release and production) around the release we deployed the week of 6/13. 
First, I’d like it known that we are listening to our customers and working to fix issues with the latest release. We have employees actively reading the pre-release and production forums, trying to cull out bugs from the various user scenarios. We also gather information from our staff in the field and try to respond. Your concerns do not fall on deaf ears. We have engineers and QE working on the reported problems, fixing our highest concern which is the errors you are receiving while uploading and downloading content to our hosted services. We have fixes in the process of being tested, with in an effort to deploy a hot fix as soon as we are comfortable with the changes.  This is our highest priority item.
You can help us fix the problem by continuing to report issues on the forums. When you do report an issue it helps us to have the following pieces of information.
1) The toolset and version being used to upload content (are you using the old content bundler workflow or the new Folio Producer)?
2) If you are using the Folio Producer, have you used the acrobat.com backdoor to modify the folio?
3) Did you cancel any uploads while others were in progress?  see a network outage, or a failure during upload?
4) Do you see any pattern of particular content type that is causing errors?
5) Account ID (so we can search our logs for failures)
6) Any failure codes or messages
We may reach out to you directly and ask for content and other information so we can attempt to replicate your situation from our side.
Secondly, we need to improve our communication channels now that the product is being released to a wider audience. We need to do a better job explaining the compatibility matrix between the various parts of the solution. Many of you upgraded to the recent authoring release without understanding that the viewer in the Apple store that supported V13 was not available. Due to the lengthy approval time to get our viewer through the Apple process, we’ve never held back the other parts of the solution waiting for the viewer to be available in the Apple store. Other platform vendors have a much shorter approval process. We prefer to get the tools into the hands of our customers as soon as they are ready. Long time users of the solution understand the interaction and the upgrade process. We will do a better job explaining these scenarios to newer users of the tools. We are working on expanding the channels of communication to educate our users, sales and support staff of these interactions.
Thirdly, some users are asking for the return of desktop folio production and control without going to the cloud. We are actively working on features that re-enable these work flows while also addressing the security concerns of our larger publishers. Some of these features include the ability to author disconnected folios, and push to the cloud at a time of your choosing and the ability to preview content on a locally connected device. This does not mean we are re-enabling the Apple concept of side loading, where you import a local .folio file into the Adobe Content Viewer via iTunes. We are actively working on these features but I can not share when they will be available to customers just yet. If you are a customer who has purchased the Digital Publishing Suite, you may contact your reseller or Adobe Account Manager to participate in roadmap briefings.
Fourth, the ability for pre-release customers to manipulate .folio content through the Acrobat.com organizer was a bug. It was not a feature of the product. Digital Publishing customers get access to the suite of services through Digitalpublishing.acrobat.com. We built a specific set of tools and UI around the production tasks of editing metadata, arranging article order and interaction with our distribution service. Those services use Acrobat.com as infrastructure to enable this functionality. Moving forward, Digital Publishing will continue building a customer experience tailored to production tasks and disabling any back door access through the Acrobat.com organizer. Fixing this bug has surfaced features that our customers would like see in the Folio Builder panel. We are working on adding article ordering and a better Digital Publishing sharing experience to our creative customers through the Folio Builder Panel.
I hope that this message clarifies our current status, priorities and addresses concerns that Adobe isn’t listening to the concerns of its customers. I hope that you continue using the product and continue expressing yourselves on the pre-release and product forums. We are listening and actively working toward building a better product.

You said you tried  clearing your cache data from Edit->Preferences and Adobe Partner Services ->Clear Online Service Data? Right?
Have you been able to upload to Facebook and see them there for the first two days?

  • Very irresponsible behavior from Adobe

    All write operations on PCs installed with LR2 will not work at all, will report an error and corrupt the database. Things like convert to DNG or create virtual copy or write metadata to files. This is a documented bug internally at Adobe and according to Adobe engineers that I have been in (extensive) discussion with will be fixed on the next release. I am using 1.4.1 now until the next release as per Adobes recomendation.
    No one at Adobe is reporting on this to customers. I spent the better part of a day and evening helping Dustin Bruzenak (software engineer) at Adobe debug and try to find the source of this very serious bug. To be honest with you I am a bit pissed off that this has not been reported in the Lightroom Journal. This not a game! We are dealing with some serious time and money on the photographers part that could be lost. We are dealing with peoples assets here!!!!. Please discuss this with engineers at Adobe to verify what may seem to you some hysterical rant from me. Since no one will report it at Adobe officially I thought I would post what is going on and let the cards fall where they may.
    The most ammazing thing about all this is that most of the bimbos on this forum are clueless about this or the severity of it. This is a far more serious issue that the 1.4 situation for PC users.
    P.S. It is not a conversion issue. Even if you create a new catalog from scratch it's still there. This does not affect Mac users

    Not ranting but...the silence is deafening. :)
    How I do things...
    1) Download from the card via Windows Explorer to a folder I generate on a 500gig external (my RAW collection...all CR2 formats)
    2) Use "Rename" to globally changed the file names to a YYYYMMDD-Name_xxxx.CR2 format
    3) Use FastStone Viewer (or Irfanview) to cull out the bad ones
    I do these 3 things seperate from LR as it's faster, more user intensive perhaps but speed is substantially less than letting LR do it for me.
    Then I crank up LR2...
    4) Import as DNG to folder in "My Pictures"
    5) Do my editing.
    So far so good. But it was only a few nights ago I realize (via the error message) that I couldn't do VC in LR2. To test I imported as DNG using 1.4.1 and could do a VC. So I don't believe it's a hardware or OS issue (I would suspect that it was if VC didn't work in 1.4.1)
    I'm using XP Pro SP2 and have been for years.
    As I do know that 1.4.1 *does* work...and...I've only just started into LR2 (barely) I guess I could revert back to 1.4.1 in the interim until the issue is resolved.
    But to get back to my initial response, better communication from Adobe regarding acknowledged problems and a timeline towards solution *would* be good to get. How difficult would it be for 'thems in the know' to send out a blanket email?
    Anyway, at least there seems to be some movement on this. Good. Thanks.

  • Can anyone help me get a serial number from Adobe & Identit-e?

    I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student & Teacher edition through Amazon online. I followed the instructions inside the package to verify my eligibilty as an educator. I received a message on the screen after submitting my materials that I was verified & I would be receiving a serial number.  This was on June 1. I contacted Adobe Chat and a rep. told me to wait 2 -3 business days, but still no email with serial number had arrived. On June 7, I contacted Adobe Chat again and the rep told me to contact customer service at identit-e.  I have sent  identit-e two emails with no response. It has been one week of trying to get my serial number from either Adobe or identit-e.  Can anyone help me get my serial number?

    Jeff,
    I ordered through Amazon and not through Adobe so there is not a record of my order on the Adobe website.  I do have a record of the order with Amazon so I requested a refund through Amazon.  The product is unusable without the serial number.  It has been 8 days since my eligibility  was verified with identit-e.  I have spoken with three Adobe rep.s and two unanswered email to identit -e trying to get the serial number since I was verified as eligible to receive the student/educator version of Creative Suites. I am very disaapointed with the lack of help I have received from Adobe with this issue.
    Being referred to identit-e or to a FAQ page is not what I needed to solve the problem- I needed the serial number  I have lost complete confidence in Adobe's customer service and that the serial number will ever be provided.

    I purchased photoshop elements 8 on line in 2010. I recently switched to a new desktop computer. Photoshop asked for my serial number. I entered the correct serial number (obtained from Adobe). It says it is invalid. How do I get this corrected so I can use the product I purchased?

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush

    Hi efacg,
    Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
    If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
    If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

  • UPDATING OSX MOUNTAIN LION ADOBE VIEWER. recently received e-bill statement. could not view. site recommended updating adobe viewer. as this feature comes OEM from Apple, how is this accomplished?

    UPDATING OSX MOUNTAIN LION ADOBE VIEWER. recently received e-bill statement. could not view. site recommended updating adobe viewer. as this feature comes OEM from Apple, how is this accomplished? Note, this was an online view for the PDF document.

    Thanks for your help.  Final question. So I am assuming that PDF funcitonality is accomplished via Preview.  I assume then that the PDF creation in Mail is also similarly accomplished, that is not via an Adobe product, but equivalent funcitonality. I see now that I can download Adobe. But, does the Apple PDF equivlant provide updates to keep up witht the new encoding structures released by Adobe, so that I can only update the Apple equivalent, or is this not practical because Apple would be chasing Adobe for software updates?

  • After the latest update, documents from adobe reader moved to respective folders remain the the Recent. Why? Please advise

    After the latest update, documents from adobe reader moved to respective folders, remain the the Recent. Why?

    The version 11.0 of Adobe Reader for iOS had the Clear List button. However, the newer versions 11.2.x or 11.3.x of Adobe Reader for iOS no longer provides the option to clear the Recents list.
    If you would like the feature back, would you send a request via the following request form?
    Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    (Please select Adobe Reader for iOS for the product name.)
    Our Product Management team will determine the priority of the feature based on customer feedback/requests.  Thank you.

  • Crossdomain.xml issue - Accessing SAP from adobe FLEX

    Hi All,
    We are in the process of trying to integrate 4 SAP bapis exposed as Web services from adobe flex.
    When we do so we are getting a "security error accessing URL"
    The URL of our flex application is:
    http://10.10.0.48:8081/water0305/iden.html
    The WSDL of the web service is:
    http://10.10.0.66:8001/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZKK_BAPI_EQMT_DETAIL?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1
    We looked at various forums and we found that adding a crossdomain.xml file to the root directory
    (at the destination server) will resolve the issue.
    I did implement all those steps on the R/3 side to add a crossdomain.xml to an ABAP WAS.
    crossdomain.xml on WAS
    however i still get those errors(security error accessing URL).
    Below is the code i use to access the SAP web service
    <mx:WebService
    id="EqmtDetailWS" showBusyCursor="true" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString)" >
    <mx:operation name="EqmtDetail" resultFormat="e4x" result="getEquip_result(event);" fault="getFault(event);">
    <mx:request>
    <Equipment></Equipment>
    </mx:request>
    </mx:operation>
    </mx:WebService>
    We are  displaying the SAP info on a map service provided by esri so we included the load operation here.
    <-Loading the wsdl->
    private
    function onExtentChange(event:ExtentEvent):void {
    EqmtDetailWS.wsdl=
    "http://10.10.0.66:8001/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZKK_BAPI_EQMT_DETAIL?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1&sap-user=******&sap-password=****&sap-language=EN&~transaction=iw51";
    EqmtDetailWS.loadWSDL();
    <Displaying the info from SAP>
    private function getEquip_result(event:ResultEvent):void {
    equip_desc = event.result.Equitext.Equidescr;
    txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Equi. Desc. : " + event.result.Equitext.Equidescr + "\n";
    var material:String=event.result.Equimaster.Material;
    SAPIDAliasEquipDesc =event.result.Equitext.Equidescr;
    material=material.substring(14,18);
    txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Material : " + material + "\n";
    txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Serial No : " + event.result.Equimaster.Serialno + "\n";
    var costcntr:String=event.result.Equilocation.Costcenter;
    costcntr=costcntr.substring(7,10);
    txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText = txtAreaEquipDetail.htmlText + "Cost Center : " + costcntr + "\n";
    CustomerID = event.result.Equisales.Customer;
    This is how we load the policy file.
    Security.loadPolicyFile(
    http://10.10.0.66:8001/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zroot/crossdomain.xml);
    This works fine when we run it from the IDE but throws up an error when we deploy it on the server
    So are we missing something ?
    Is there anything else to be done to overcome the security issue ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Karthik.

    Hi Rich,
    I followed the steps in your video when our system was R/3 4.7 (WAS 6.20) and the test worked fine, i.e. accessing the crossdomain by typing http://server:port/crossdomain.xml.
    I followed the same steps with our new version (we're undergoing an upgrade) but I kept getting the error message:
    "BSP Exception: the BSP URL /crossdomain.xml Does Not Contain Any Application Entries".  Then I saw Ivan post suggesting implementing OSS Note 1260386.  I applied the Note but I got the same error message. 
    Then I ran function ICFBUFFER_INIT to make sure the buffer is cleared, cleared the cache in the browser and still got the same error message.
    Our system is ERP 6.0, NetWeaver 7.0, level 17 (BASIS Component is SAPKB70017).
    Please help.  Thank you.
    Achille.

  • Switched from Adobe Design Standard (CS5)to Adobe CS6/ intro rate $29.99 -EXP. ISSUES. .

    I recently called Adobe to switch over from Adobe Design Standard Subscription (CS5) to the CS6 Adobe Cloud subscription for the intro rate of $29.99.
    Ever since then I've been getting prompts such as:
    Unable to validate your Adobe Muse subscription: We haven't been able to validate your Adobe Muse subscription for some time. Please connect to the Internet in order to continue using Adobe Muse.
    I have had consistent daily access to the internet so I do not understand why this window/prompt continues to appear when I open MUSE. Well it used to. Now I'm unable to use Muse.
    I recieved an e-mail saying my Adobe subscription has been downgraded and I'm also wondering what that means? Is it for my CS6 cloud subscription or for my older CS5.5 subscription which also appears on my account details page as Adobe Cloud 1 - year Subscription.

    I also have had the exact same expereince, down to every detail you mentioned including the email execpt that I switched from the full price cloud subscritption (which I pre-signed up for)  to the discounted price which I was informed I was approved for after the first payment was already taken..
    So far photoshop and Illustrator seem to be fine. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Muse from the Application manager. Help!
