Consequences of new folio builder Panel.

I get the ticks, I'm in the midle of a huge production an now we get a new folio builder panel(12th of March), will that mean that I will have to update all viewers (I have got 9 countries) in order to read folios created with the new one ??
I Just updated all my viewers to support newsstand for free subscribtions (They are still pending for review)
Kind Regards
- Lars

Updating the viewer panel is mandatory but does not affect the types or
versions of folios you create.
When you update the producer tools (you can do wheneever you like) a new
version of the viewer is necessary, because of the new folio versions made
by the producer tools.

New folio builder panel

Since loading the new folio builder panel i am unable to load articles. Any help would be appreciated.

You can update the viewer builder panel independent from producer tools.
So you can stay on version 17 of the tools but you need the current folio
builder panel.

UPDATE: Install new Folio Builder panel

The Folio Producer tools on the web were updated July 21. Please update your Folio Builder panel to make sure that it's in sync with the web client. The links for downloading the 1.1.2 update will appear on the main DPS installer pages:
Mac OS: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Windows
Note that there is a difference between installing the new Folio Builder panel and updating the authoring tools. Whenever there is an update to the web client, you should update the Folio Builder panel. However, when the new version of the authoring tools (Overlay Creator panel and plugin) becomes available, you have a choice of updating the authoring tools or continuing to use an older release. For example, you may want to continue using an older set of authoring tools so that you can continue to work on folios for a custom viewer that you created, and you don't want to update that viewer app in the store every time a set release comes out.
The v14 authoring tools will be available later, when all the viewers are approved in the stores. The new version of the Viewer Builder app is scheduled for release early next week. You'll be able to specify languages and use in-app billing for Android viewers.
When you update your Folio Builder panel, you will be able to do the following:
* Re-order articles in the Folio Builder panel by dragging and dropping
* Unshare folios with individuals
* Upload large articles (the limit increased from 100 MB to 2 GB)

OK, I've done this.
To test what's happening for sure, I have uninstalled and re-installed time and time again, step by step. Here's what I get:
1. install Digital Publishing Suite: I can sign in to Folio Builder
2. install patch 1.0.1: I can sign in to Folio Builder
3. install patch 1.1.1: I can sign in to Folio Builder
4. install patch 1.1.2: I cannot sign in to Folio Builder
Here are the messages I get when I try to sign in with 1.1.2. It's always one or the other, at random.
On my Mac at home, I can sign in without problem. Could it be a firewall issue with the Windows computers at the office? If the sign-in system has changed, please tell me what Adobe has done so that I can communicate this to our IT support.
In the meantime, I have downgraded to 1.1.1 so that I can continue working with DPS.

Update new Folio Builder Panel but not the Folio Producer Tools?

Hi Guys
I was prompted to update the Builder Panel so I have done this now. I have read some older posts from last week about the new producer tools with new interactivity inside MSOs.
Is everybody still having problems with this update or has the bug been fixed now?
I'm not on such a tight deadline but I don't want any problems! Should I hold fire on updating the Producer tools?
Cheers
Gemma

Problem with multiple article import under new Folio builder panel

Hi guys,
If you try to import multiple articles in pdf format, it looks like they are imported as jpg's. No zooming functionality. If you try to do this one by one, there is no problem. This was already a problem if you upgraded to a newer version of CS5.5 under build 18 and 19 (7.5.2 I believe). But now it doesn't seem to work anymore in build 7.5.0. Is it maybe a solution to upgrade?? Need to upload 320 articles ini 2 times. You can imagine I like to do this in one time. :-)
Thanks,
Bart

Hi Bart,
We had someone test this internally using CS5.5 and CS6, and v20 of our tools. When the folio was created as PDF, and then multiple articles were imported, the resulting articles are indeed PDF as expected. While you may see a progress window flash past and reference creating a PNG, that is likely for the thumbnail icons used for TOC navigation, etc., and not the actual article.
How are you testing the pinch and zoom functionality? By deploying the folio to an iPad device? Are you creating v19 or v20 folios? (I.e. have you just updated your panel or the tools as well?)

Folio Builder Panel update error

Tried updating folio tools 3Xs. Keep getting this eror:
A newer version of Folio Builder is available for download. Update Folio Builder panel to latest version here.
Have quit inDesign, restarted the computer, logged on and still get the error.
Any ideas?

There was a short amount of time where the link in the Folio Builder panel was redirecting to the old download still, but it should be working now.
You can head directly to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html to get your downloads. Make sure that the file is from November 17th.

Sharing/Unsharing Apps in Folio Builder Panel - Tweaks

Adobe could help us out by cleaning up this Folio Builder panel feature.
Pasting a list of e-mail addresses has to be formatted juuuust right, otherwise it doesn't recognize them. When adding users it would be useful if there was some sort of memory/auto-fill that recognized previously added users from other folios. Perhaps a master list appears and we could just click to add users from that list. Showing the abbreviated address or name is also quite annoying (for example, when you add a user it formats the entry into a nice little "bubble" but truncates the info). Is this really necessary?
Thanks for being awesome.

Hi Ruthanne, thanks for the response, but it turns out the solution is:
Quit InDesign and any other CS apps.
First, delete the opm.db file located in /Users/"your user name"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, and then start InDesign and try signing in to the panel.
Why that has taken Adobe support, four phone calls, and unhelpful advice, plus a link to a help article that I had to go through several links to find the answer to, I don't know.
It would help if the "DPS" support team were better trained, and rather than sendind emails with links to articles on them, had s stock number of troubleshooting steps to try I don't know.
I was advised to create a whole new user account, uninstall InDesign, and reinstall it on that user account to see if that solved the problem, but fortunately this simple fix cured it in my standard user account.
I have learned in a very painful and stressful way, that a lot of the information on the support forums is not up to date, and relates to CS5 and CS5.5, and that Adobe expect you to do a lot of the research into problems yourself, as they often don't know the cure. I know that DPS is very complex - but all the more reason to invest in better trained support staff.

The Folio Builder panel, design-wise...

Part of my job is to teach routined InDesign users how to build Folio's. Most of them do quite well, after their initial confusion with the Interaction panels ("which do and which don't work with ADPS"). But the panel they fear most, is definitely the Folio Builder. Not even because of its casual malfunctioning (that's my nightmare as a trainer), but mainly because of its design and cosmetics. The panel sports a well-know and trusted appearance, but it's a devil in disguise.
It begins with logging-in. "No, you can't click the bull's-eye, it's just a mysterious indicator." It would be much more obvious if it looked like a led (red or green) or if it had some useful interaction to it - letting you log in/out perhaps...
Next, the three-tiered views are not clear enough. When I show them the image below, and tell them how their workflow moves from left to right and from right to left (from "Account" to "Folio" to "Article" to "Layout" and v.v.) they immediately 'get it'. And after warning them that the navigational elements on top of the panel are quite clueless (what to hit, to go where to), and that you're often thrown back from Layout to Folio (skipping Article), they're in charge and on guard. Finally, I tell them that the "New" button magically changes its functionality in each level ("wait for the pop-up!"). It is highly unusual that a side menu shows and hides certain commands in each level. It should list ALL associated commands, and show momentarily unavailable ones grayed out.
This all wouldn't be necessary if the panel would be a bit more self-explanatory. I hope this rant helps to improve its design.

very good. these all need to be addressed. the experience of the folio
builder panel is bad... I have so many ideas of a redesign in my mind, but
I'm not in charge. maybe this thread can turn into a design ideaas for the
Panel.
good start, Peter!

Folio Builder Panel: Error #3115

can someone provide any more details what this eror means?
It pops up after I start the Folio Builder Panel.
After that: Spinning wheel on "Loading Folios".
The error message dialog does not help at all.
Installed the new Tools, uninstalled them already, cleared indesing prefs, installed again in the following order (as always): Producer Tools, then Folio Builder Panel.
—Johannes

That one did'nt work on my computer.
The thing that works is:
On Win user name/Application Data/applicationID.publisherID/Local Store/
Try follow the steps below:
1.       Close Folio Builder panel and quit InDesign;
2.       Find app-storage folder, on Win7 something like c:/Users/[user name]/Application Data/StageManager.BD092818F67280F4B42B04877600987F0111B594.1/Local Store/
3.       You should find a folder named ‘dmp’ in that folder. Delete ‘dmp’ folder and #sharedObjects in the same folder
4.       Relaunch InDesign and Folio Builder panel

URGENT - folio builder panel upgrade

We are publishing one of our monthly issues in a few hours but have just seen the message:
'A mandatory Folio Builder Panel upgrade will be required on May 2nd. Installers will be posted at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ when the update is required.'
Can we still publish as planned or do I have to install the new panel before hand?
Thanks
Liam

The creation of a folio file and having it show up in a branded app consists of several steps. Creation of a folio in the folio builder panel is what we call the upload or creation process. The act of putting the folio onto the distribution service for consumption by a mass audience is what we call "publishing" the folio.
Once a folio has been created using whatever version of the tools you want and a supported version of the folio builder panel, you can publish the content from the folio producer tools at any time. The version of the panel you use or updating the panel has nothing to do with the publish action which is the migration of content onto the distribution service.

Version 19 Release - Update Folio Builder panel

Digital Publishing Suite released a mandatory update to the Folio Builder panel as well as a new version of the Folio Producer tools. You can view a list of new features here: What's new in this release.
Should you update the Folio Builder panel?
Yes, or you won't be able to use the panel. Note that updating the panel does not affect your version of the DPS tools.
Should you update the Folio Producer tools?
If you're in the last stages of publishing a folio, if you have an important presentation coming up, or if you created a custom viewer using a previous set of tools and don't want to update your viewer app yet, install only the Folio Builder panel.
If you install the new Folio Producer tools and create a folio, you cannot view it in the current Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad (until Apple approves the new version) or with a custom viewer app that hasn't been updated to v19. If you try to open a new folio in an older viewer, a "Please update your app" message appears.
If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can use the Viewer Builder to create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer so that you don't have to wait for Apple to approve.
For links and addition installation information, see Installing digital publishing tools.

Hi I give the audio file the same mistake all the foils. please help!
This issue occurred after the builder and the tools of updates to Folio

Folio Builder panel is empty?

Hi, the various folios I have created within InDesign seem to have disappeared from the Folio Builder panel. I am signed in, paid up, restarted, re-opened and have updated all software. Anyone else had this problem? They ARE showing up in the SPS Folio Producer panel online. I have also created a new folio just to see, but the panel in InDesign is still empty, although that also shows up in the browser. Associated options from the little drop-down menu in the InDesign panel are also absent, as if I had no folios.
Thanks,
David

I'll add that it's clearly a glitch. I don't have the option to create an article from an open document. However, quitting InDesign I get an altert saying that the folio builder is busy—as though I have managed to get it to do a task, despite no visual feedback of that in the panels...

After update Folio Builder Panel 1.1.3. articles keep on loading

Hi all,
After updating the Folio Builder Panel as requested (by the panel it self), we are unable to acces any articles. A loading icon keeps on animating and the article-folders stay grey. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Looking forward hearing from you.
Regards,
Remco van den Hout

The good news, your'e not alone. The bad news... Adobe doesn't really have a fix at this point.
It's a problem where the DPS thinks you are trying to update those articles, and they don't ever get reset to a state of "updated". The only fix I was able to do, unfortunately, was to trash the folios and reupload the whole thing again. It's unclear at this time where the problem was introduced so it might take a while for a fix.
It was a major pain to have to do this stuff over again – but I know that the issue has been documented and they are looking into it.
I recommend you make a sidecar.xml file with all the folio descriptive copy. This way, if you have to do this process another time, you can import the sidecar file and it will populate all of your articles again a lot faster. You might have to still adjust the order in a few cases... but it works pretty well. Info on that here:

Folio Builder Panel Won't Display

In ID CS5.5 I can't get the Folio Builder panel to display. I've tried everything (deleting Prefs, DPS tools, re-installing, rebooting, etc.) but every time I open it is says "A newer version of the Folio Builder is available for download. Update Folio Panel to the newest version here." I've done that. I've uninstalled the DPS tools, and re-downloaded and re-installed the Folio Builder and the Folio Panel. Regardless, nothing works. Any suggestions out there? Grrrrrrrrrrr....

If the link for incompatible plug-ins doesn't work, try the following:
1. Install BOTH the Folio Producer tools and the Folio Builder panel. You're probably already doing that, but some people mistake the tools for the panel without realizing there are two different installers.
2. Delete all the DPS temp files. This is especially important if you've installed a prerelease version of ID CS6. On a Mac, these temp files are located in user > Library > Preferences > StageManager.[###] > Local Store [edited]. Delete all the folders in the Local Host folder. You'll lose all your local folios, but you can re-create them.

CS5 Folio Builder Panel Update - Panel Gone

I just updated the Folio Builder Panel for CS5 on Mac to the latest version (Jan 26, 2012) and when I run InDesign, the Folio Builder Panel is no longer there. Also, the CSLive panel gives me an "internal error" message. I installed the updates on my PC for CS 5.5 and it all seems to work. However, I need to work in CS5 for this particular project. Is this a known issue? How do I remedy the situation? In case it matters, I also updated the Folio Producer Tools (Jan 17, 2012), as well.

So, I ended up getting everything ironed out, though it took a couple of hours of trying various things. Essentially, the Folio Builder Panel was installed, however Indesign was not seeing it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Indesign, but that didn't remove the Folio Builder Panel, and did not "refresh" it to become visible.
Ultimately, I had to go throught the app folders and manually uninstall the extension. After reinstalling, the panel showed up. However a new problem emerged. Indesign was trying to login to my account but just spinning and nothing was happening. I could not cancel the "sign in" attempt. Finally, this was resolved by opening key chain and deleting the Adobe entry from there which allowed me to reenter my credentials.
Whew. Thank goodness that's over. (until the next update, that is).
Hopefully, this can save others some time who may run into this. Seems like it was a bit of a fluke.
