Content Viewer Bugs?

I'm having two strange scenarios with the newest version of the Adobe Content Viewer and multi-state objects. Both situations below were in v27 folios, and they worked perfectly fine on the Desktop Viewer, but when loaded onto an iPad and viewed through ACV, the issues happen:
1) I have 2 MSO's on a page. 1 MSO is set to change states through buttons, and that works fine. The 2nd MSO has 2 states, and I have it set to autoplay for 3 seconds each. On the Desktop Viewer, it works fine and switches states back and forth. In ACV on my iPad, it doesn't do anything, it just sits on the first state. I've tried adding a delay, different durations, etc... nothing works. Any ideas?
2) I have an MSO on a page and each state contains a transparent PNG image. Each PNG has the opacity reduced to 50%, with a graphic drawn in InDesign on top. Using buttons to switch states, a state will show the transparency-reduced PNG for about 1 second, and then the PNG disappears altogether! All the other elements in the state remain unaffected. I have tried using a PSD file with transparency, and that won't work either. If I make the opacity 100%, it works. If I use a JPG with reduced opacity (which I don't want to use because I need background elements on the page to show through), that works as well!
Again, both of the above work fine in the Desktop Viewer, with no issues... but on my iPad with ACV, the above issues occur. My next step is to create a full app and load the development version on my iPad to see if the issues occur there. That would at least narrow it down to ACV being the culprit or not!
Any help / insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for looking into this Ivo... I've been testing it last night and this morning, and basically discovered if I alter the opacity in Photoshop and export the PNG, everything works fine. If I change the opacity of the PNG inside of InDesign (of just the PNG, no other object, and not a group, etc), then the issue happens "most" of the time... but not every single time.
I really have no idea what is going on. I tried creating a new folio, and was able to reproduce the issue, but again, sometimes it works, and sometimes the image (PNG, PSD, doesn't matter) disappears when going to that MSO state. Again, it seems to only happen to images that already have transparent parts to them (PNG, PSD), and when I reduce the opacity using InDesign.
All I know right now is that reducing the opacity first in Photoshop and importing the image into InDesign seems to circumvent the issue for now. Just maddening that I have to create multiple versions of a single image if I want different opacities!
If I get time in the next couple of days I will test this further, and perhaps try to post a video of what I'm seeing... so everyone doesn't think I'm nuts!

Adobe Content Viewer - Potential major bug

I saw that the new Adobe Content Viewer was just approved by Apple, and updated the app on my iPad 3. When I opened the app and downloaded a folio (folio made using r23), none of my Vector MSO's showed up as vector, they're all still raster. I repeated the process on another iPad 3 and had the same results. It seems like the r24 Content Viewer won't show vector MSO's. Anyone else having the same problem?

Here are three screenshots. 1 - normal viewing, 2 - first zoom, then I zoomed out, then 3 - second zoom

Help! Slideshow Autoplay does not work on ipad content viewer.

I created a dps app using Adobe Creative Cloud on a PC running Windows 8. It has a multi-state object of text to fade in and out. It works properly on a windows tablet but not on my ipad. I'm aware this question has been asked before and I tried all of the suggested fixes and none have worked for me. Are there anymore bug fixes.

Darn, I was hoping you could read my mind, lol. The problem is I created an article in DPS that has 4 multi-state objects on one page. 3 of the multi-state objects (button-like icons that change color when you tap/swipe them) are set to tap to play, the 4th multi-state object, a slideshow with 7 states each containing text that's supposed fade in and out 1 by 1 on a loop, is set to Autoplay upon article opening. This all works great on the desktop preview and once its downloaded to Adobe Content Viewer on my Windows Tablet. However, when I download it to the Adobe Content View on my iPad and try to run the same app the 3 tap to play icon buttons work fine but the multi-state text Slideshow will not autoplay. It will only show the first state (which is a text box). I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud Indesign to create the article on a pc running Windows 8. I recently ran updates on my adobe software. Any insight???

Navigation buttons not working in iPad Adobe Content Viewer

I am reposting this as a separate discussion from this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5551618#5551618), since Bob B. said this is a separate bug from the nav button problems in Single Edition apps that people were encountering.
Here is my problem:
I have several folios that are a presentation of work (a slideshow per page, on most pages). Navigation buttons are needed since vertical swiping doesn't work on the pages where my images are full-width.
Five times in the past week, the buttons have quit working (tapping a button jumps you back to the first page of the folio, instead of to Next or Prev). The only way to get them working again is to delete Content Viewer and all the content off the iPad, reinstall Content Viewer, and download the folios again. So far, I can use the folio maybe once or twice, and then the problem happens again.
As you can imagine, this is very frustrating.
It would be great if someone can look into this, since it does not seem to be a freak occurrence - it happens to me all the time since I got the latest version of Content Viewer.
Thank you,
Camille

A tester was finally able to reproduce this bug. I'll let you know when I find more information. Thanks for reporting it.

I cannot get the Adobe Content Viewer to display anything in InDesign CS6 / on a Windows 7 PC.

I create a scrollable text that is in a text frame using the Folio Overlay with the settings of Vertical Scroll and Use the Document Setting for its position. When I click on the Preview icon on the Folio Overlay panel, it comes up with the with a popup that says Preview on Desktop and click on it and nothing happens.

I reinstalled a download of the update (for the third time) and still it will not display my file in the Content Viewer using the Folio Overlay panel and clicking on the preview button and selected display on the desktop. I see all the compilations, but when it is done, there is nothing displayed like it never did the complilation. Do I need to call Adobe tech support and tell them about the bug or give up and start using the Apple Book Authoring software and forget about Adobe because there seems no answer.

URLs to specific articles in Web Content Viewer

I'm placing the Web Content Viewer on a custom site for free viewing of all articles in the folio. Is it possible to get a URL of individual articles that be links sent to people? So if there is an email blast, can there be a URL that will lead a reader to a certain article in that online folio? Thanks.

Is this the reason (under "Known issues with social sharing / web viewer)? Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes
I'm not using V32 on this folio.

Content Viewer will not download the folio preview. Is there a maximum file size?

I am unable to download a 378 MB folio into the Adobe Content Viewer on my iPad.
I can preview the same folio using the Content Viewer on my laptop, and it works fine in the Content Viewer on the iPad as well when I transfer the file from laptop to iPad using the USB cable. However, when I click on the download cloud icon, there is a "Waiting..." text beneath it, but the file won't download. There is no other error message, even after ten minutes of wait time.
I am using the most recent version of the Content Viewer, and have tried deleting and replacing it several times, as well as restarting the iPad. I have closed all other apps on the iPad to free up memory. The iPad is running 8.1.2 and have more than 4 GB of storage.
I using the most current version of InDesign CC. The folio version number is 32.
My download speed here is about 34 Mbps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you have the latest 32.4 version of the Adobe Content Viewer?
It feels similar to an issue we had prior to the 32.1 version (see fix notes at Digital Publishing Suite Help | DPS Bug Fix Release Notes)
Otherwise you may want to call support so we can run a few tests with the folio itself.

Content Viewer on iPad issue

Anyone else seeing something like this— I have a folio shared with me. I open Content Viewer on iPad (which is up to date and restarted). I sign in and attempt to download the shared folio. It throws an error and then I am signed out and all of the shared folios dissappear from the Content Viewer (because they are still in the cloud). I can't find a way around it—so I hook up the iPad to my machine and preview shared folios through InDesign.

That sounds like the v25 double sign-in bug. In some situations, you need to sign in twice to see your folios.

Content Viewer not refreshing, old folios disappeared

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this and if this issue is related to some of the other download problem threads?
My clients contacted me that they were unable to see recent updates I made to our shared development folio. I was able to replicate this as my own folios have stopped updating since yesterday afternoon.
I deleted and re-installed the content viewer on my iPad, and since then all my previous folios fail to show up on the iPad.
I created a small folio, with a blank page, this does show up. However any updates with a bit of content in them appear to upload correctly, but the folios no longer refresh on the iPad.
Several clients also tried to either "archive" existing folios in the hope that they would subsequently refresh, or deleted the content viewer from their iPads with similar resuts to mine.
When starting the content viewer I coccasionally receive a message that says "Cannot contact server, an error has occurred"
Are other folks experiencing this?
Thanks, JB

OK, I figured out this was an orientation issue, related to a bug discussed in post:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3831423#3831423
Apparently when uploading something like a 1024x4000 vertical smooth scrolling stacks, one must
a.) specify an _h filename postfix (makes sense)
b.) Do NOT use the "add" or "update" function of the folio producer tools, but instead use the "import" function for the file's orientation to be interpreted correctly (a work-around)
c.) After import, change the default orientation after importing a _h postfix file from horizontal only to "both" or "vertical"

DPS(PDF) on Content Viewer V24 for iPad

Hi all,
I created DPS Magazine Decmber issue (1024 x 768: Image = PDF),
and checked it(not published folo) on Content viewer v24(2.9.0.0.63929) for iPad.
I set Folio version: v22 on Folio Builder menu, because of my released viewer app is v22.
On iPad1, pinch-zoom works well, but text rendering doesn't work.
On iPad2, New iPad, pinch-zoom and text rendering work well.
My DPS Magazine Novermber issue, text rendering also doesn't work on v24 iPad1.
It worked well on v23 iPad1.
Is this a just problem of Content viewer v24(2.9.0.0.63929) for iPad?

I was able to replicate the issue and have reported this as a Bug. I'll update you directly when this is resolved.

Grey Screen in iPad Content Viewer

A number of co-workers and clients have reported that when viewing a folio for the first time on a new device, a grey screen appears instead of the content. In general, the problem is fixed by closing the Conent Viewer in the app tray and restarting the app.
I have only seen the issue once, but it has been reported to me a number of times and while it's no problem for my co-workers, we would prefer that when a client sees a draft of their folio for the first time, they are not fighitng with the software. As my sale person said, "we're losing the 'wow' factor.
Any one else experiencing this issue or any expected fix?

I get it with dual orientation folios in PDF format on iPad and iPhone. but
maybe I experience a different bug ...

Preview working on Desktop Content Viewer - not on iPad

Hello all,
As the title suggests, I have a page layout with MSO's and buttons within it that works perfectly well on the content viewer, but then doesn't work on iPad.
To give a brief overview...
I have one MSO with 5 states... It is a block of text on the left with two buttons in a column on the right hand side of the page.
Each of these buttons when clicked reveals an image over the top of the text so you can gain an idea of what the text is talking about. So...
State 1: Text
State 2: Text w/ Image 1
State 3: Text w/ Image 2
State 4: Text w/ Image 3
State 5: Text w/ Image 4
Now as the images are two sets (I don't want you to be able to view them all in one go, one after the other) I've had to change the destination each button links you to within each Multi state. This is quite hard to explain, but I will try...
State 1
Button 1 clicks to: State 2
Button 2 clicks to: State 4
State 2
Button 1 clicks to: State 3
Button 2 clicks to: State 4
State 3
Button 1 clicks to: State 1
Button 2 clicks to: State 4
State 4
Button 1 clicks to: State 2
Button 2 clicks to: State 5
State 5
Button 1 clicks to: State 2
Button 2 clicks to: State 1
Essentially the flow is...
Read the text, click Button 1 to view Image 1, then Image 2... then another click takes you back onto the text.
Then clicking Button 2 to view Image 3, then Image 4... and then back onto the text again.
Obviously I am open to suggestions if I have approached the logic of this wrong, but I was just curious because as I said, it works on the desktop viewer and then not on the iPad.
To note: I have read up on potential bugs, and so have removed < >'s from the layering names, as well as making sure there are no transparencies as I've heard these can cause problems.
Many thanks,
Liam

I have a similar problem. My folio has hyperlinks that bring the user to another page in the same article. They work on the content viewer on my mac but not on my ipad help anyone?

Can't see my 1920x1080 folio in my iPad library in adobe content viewer

I would like to make a single .folio to view on iOS and Android. I'm making it 1920x1080, but when it's been published it only shows up in andoid version of adobe content viewer, not on the ipad. is this a bug or expected behavior?

That's expected behavior. Only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio (such as 1024x768) appear on iPad viewers. Android viewers display any folio aspect ratio.
(Tomek types faster than I do.)

Content viewer will not download folio

content viewer is broken or are the servers down? Adobe please answer, this is very frustrating.

Are you sure you have the latest 32.4 version of the Adobe Content Viewer?

Otherwise you may want to call support so we can run a few tests with the folio itself.

Problem in Adobe Content Viewer

I have a Enterprise account and a custom Adobe Content Viewer, that's supposed to read a book with interactive objects made in HTML5. However, this reader isn't reading some script that is making the interactive objects impossible to open, and, when it opens, opens with bugs. Considering that the interactive objects opens in all browsers with no problems, I would like to know if there's anyway we can make the interactive objects open directly in the browsers, from the Adobe Content Viewer.
This problem just happens when I open it in PC from a external media.
Please, I need to solve this as soon as I can.

Have you tried logging into http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ with the same account and accepting the terms and conditions there?
