Content generation
[Error: Unable to access the output directory. The directory is not writable, so the folio cannot be saved.]
This means?
This is fun BTW. Two days and two different silly errors applying themselves arbitrarily. Yesterday was the network, today its this.

heres the fix i used for on a Mac
1. While in the Finder, select the menu command Finder > Preferences.
2. In the General panel, ensure the option "Connected Servers" is selected under the heading "Show these items on the desktop:", then close the preferences dialog box.
3. Choose the menu command Finder > Hide Others.
4. Close all open Finder windows to ensure you can see all items on your desktop.
5. If you locate what appears to be a mounted volume with the name "Users", Control + Click on its icon and choose the contextual menu command Eject "Users".
6.  Add or update your article(s).
7.  Cross fingers
8. If doesn't work ask for a refund

  • Help! Content generation error. [Error: Unable to read JPEG.]

    Hey all -
    Havben't seen this one in the forums. I'm importing an article into an existing folio. The processing status bar goes to the end, but before upload starts, I get this error:
    Content generation error.
    [Error: Unable to read JPEG.]
    Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I'm up against a hard deadline and really need to get this worked out. Thanks!

    In that case it would be good, if the error message could be more specific; i.e. telling the name(s) of the JPEG images.
    However, you could check all placed JPEG images, if they can be opened with PhotoShop.

  • Content generation error. Failed to open the InDesign file.

    Hey all -
    In importing an article to a folio, I just received this error:
    "Content generation error.
    Failed to open the InDesign file. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign."
    The file is open right now in InDesign. I can close it and reopen it with no errors.
    I've tried resaving the article to a new file. No help.
    I tried creating a new folio and importing the article there. No help.
    All links are good. It's a simple file with images, a scrolling pane, and some buttons that link to other articles.
    Anyone else run into this problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    Im getting this error also....?
    Want to avoid inporting each artical on at a time. Need to import multiple articals at once.
    Thanks.

    My colleague next to me is running exactly the same set up and doesnt get the error. in fact his update anf sideloading is fast as lightning.
    the ONLY difference is that im running v28 tools and he is on v27, however wehave another colleague running v28 and his updates work perfectly.
    Any ideas lovely community?

  • "Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file"

    Building a multi-folio in InDesign 6 Folio Builder V30. Received "Content generation error. Failed to Export the PDF file" on several of the spreads. I have tried reducing the original pdf files sizes, but that did not help.
    Any suggestions on other possible causes or way to fix.?
    thanks

    I'm very new to DPS so I hope the following description makes some kind of sense.
    My magazine is in the process of doing trial runs for an iPad edition. I'm setting some templates up for us to work off so the process from magazine to iPad will run a lot smoother month to month.
    So far I've set up some dummy stock pages in an InDesign CS6 document, currently 15 pages long.
    All images are linked and all fonts have paragraph styles applied to them.
    I'm at the stage I want to check the document on my iPad to test run font sizes and their legibility.
    We have successfully been able to export the document as a jpg file but we really need the PDF format. When attempting this we get the above message.

  • Content generation error. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign?

    I have been trying to upload a couple of files to a folio that was built yesterday, everytime I try to upload one of them I recieve the error message "Content generation error.Failed to open the InDesign file. Please confirm the file can be opened in InDesign." I have no idea why this is happening as one of the files was successfully uploaded to the folio yesterday and I have not made any changes to it since. I have a also restarted and trashed InDesign preferences so there are no problems there. If anyone has any answers or has experienced any similar problems could you please let me know.
    Thanks
    Adam Flanagan

    That was the first thing I tried because obviously I wanted to find out if it was a problem with my file or a general issue with all uploads to that folio. It seems to be working ok now, although I still have no idea what the problem was and I have never seen that error message before :s
    Thanks for your response.

  • I have a merge publication , it says : The merge process was unable to access row metadata at the 'Subscriber'

    The merge process was unable to access row metadata at the 'Subscriber'. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to write to, or use SQL Profiler to determine the source of the failure.

    what can I do ?

    Hi,
    Are you facing the same problem when starting with a new subscriber database?
    From the error message suggested that replication metadata may be corrupt. I suggest you drop and re-create the subscription.
    Then click on synchronization status and run the snapshot agent. It hard to tell the cause unless we check Merge Agent error log.
    Regarding the Unreadable Characters,
    change system locale to Chinese if current system locale is English and test the issue. A computer restart is required to make the change effective.
    Thanks.

  • Error: unable to copy to output directory, ReqMgmtActionsVO.xml not found

    hi,
    While running a page using jdeveloper am getting error like
    Error: unable to copy to output directory, ReqMgmtActionsVO.xml not found.
    am very thankful to the response
    Thanks
    Surya

    Hi,
    I faced the same issue.
    I fixed it by searching the missing file (In my case MyEO.xml which is a removed file) using JDeveloper (Menu Search/Search Files...).
    It found an occurence in the related .jpr file.
    In the .jpr, I deleted the related lines:
    <Item>
    <Key class="java.net.URL" path="xx/oracle/apps/.../MyEO.xml"/>
    <Value idref="15"/>
    </Item>
    That's it.
    Regards,

  • Content generation error ...

    "The page size aspect ratio must match the folio aspect ratio." is an error i keep getting, although my file is 1024 px wide. It isn't however 768 px high. It's higher, to create a scrollable page. Is there a minimal / maximal size, are there constraints ?
    Also sometimes when i already have a portrait lay-out & want to add the landscape lay-out, InDesign's Folio Builder thinks it's still the portrait lay-out, so he does not add the landscape version, does not seem to see the difference ?!

    I'm also having GENERATION ERROR but on the article side of things
    Content generation
    [Error: Invalid value for parameter 'portraitDocument' of method 'exportMiniFolio'. Expected Document, but received /Users/christian/Library/Preferences/StageManager.BD092818F67280F4B42B04877600987F0111B59 4.1/Local Store/dmp/City Guide_2011_6_24_8_28_7/WiFi Ad_2011_6_24_8_28_7.folio.]
    Any remedy for this?

  • Content Generation Error in InDesign

    "Content Generation Error" in InDesign-every time I try to preview my document I get the following message:[Error: The assets for one or more overlays could not be located. Verify the assets used are available on disk, then update the article.]. Everything was working fine perfectly just the other day when all I did was preview it in InDesign.  I can't think of anything that I could have done to ruin it.  All my links appear to be fine, and so far I've gone through and stripped most of the document to find the problem but it won't work unless I take out 99 percent of the document.  It seems to have multiple issues and appears to be an entire corrupted document rather than just a few issues with MSOs. The document consists of five pages with vertical and horizontal layouts and I have slideshows, scrollable frames, and multi-state objects but no audio.

    That was the first thing I tried because obviously I wanted to find out if it was a problem with my file or a general issue with all uploads to that folio. It seems to be working ok now, although I still have no idea what the problem was and I have never seen that error message before :s

  • Content generation error. [Error: exportArticleFolio]

    Hi guys! I'm getting the error "Content generation error. [Error: exportArticleFolio]" when trying to update an article (yesterday it was successfully uploaded and updated). The same issue when try to upload it as a new article.
    No errors are displayed when open Preflight panel.
    I can successfully update other articles....
    So seems that something is wrong with the article that is need to be updated.... But it's difficult to understand what is wrong from this error message. Maybe somebody faced with this issue and can give me an advice?
    Windows 7, Indesign CS6 version 8.0.1

    If you encounter the problem with specific ID doc, would you be able to share the document with me for investigation? If so, please package the ID document and email me offline: [email protected] We will investigate and get back to you with any finding of the root cause. Thanks!

  • Content generation error: invalid url for web content overlay

    Hi,
    I am having an error message " content generation error: invalid url for web content overlay" when I want to upload the article.
    I don't have any link with that article and this is my 1st time having this kind of error. I am using indesign CC
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Rush O

    I’ve found watching the process helpful to narrow down the page.
    Working off a duplicate of the file, delete one layer at a time until you figure out what layer the problem is on.
    From there it’s a bit easier to narrow down.

    No, this is nothing to be concerned with. Assuming you have auto-client push enabled, it will try to push the client agent to a resource without the agent every hour for 7 days. Thus, after the 7 day period expires from the last time it was discovered,
    it won't try to push to this system anymore.

  • Content generation error. [Error: Duplicate overlay IDs are not allowed]

    Has anyone else experienced this? I'm creating a hidden navigation menu that has buttons for showing and hiding it. When the menu is on, there are a number of buttons grouped together in one of the states. It works when I preview with the preview tool, but when I try to preview through Folio Builder I get the error message: Content generation error. [Error: Duplicate overlay IDs are not allowed]
    All of my multi-state objects have unique names, as do buttons and layers and I still get this error. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Christopher

    Attached are screenshots of my layers palette, object states and buttons. I noticed in the layers palette, after I've made the menu into a multi-state object there's a sub-group called "normal" that's showing up in my layers palette. Could this be it?

  • Content generation error. [Error: invalid asset]

    I'm am trying to add an article to a Folio and am getting "Content generation error. [Error: invalid asset]. I have re-imported all of the files in the article. I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hm. Might be that the two errors are of a different kind:
    [Error: Invalid asset] vs. [Error: Invalid asset location].
    I have an error with a simple image I want to use with "Pan and Zoom" ("Schwenken und Zoomen" in my German InDesign CS5.5 v7.5.2 on OSX 10.6.8).
    The error message translates to "[Error: Invalid asset]":
    After a bit of experimenting I think I know why there was an error.
    My first attempt was on an TIFF image (=> ERROR), then I tried with a JPEG version (NO error).
    Too bad Overlay Creator cannot detect wrong file formats for the given task.
