Distribute .folio files for free

Hello, I have one question: can I share a .folio files for free (for reading with Adobe Content viewer), without having any DPS license?

rvdiziner:  As it has been pointed out by Bob Bringhurst
"When you use the digital publishing tools, there is no reason to use acrobat.com. It works for the time being, but it's not supported."
His quote is from the context of an error message discussion :http://forums.adobe.com/thread/859156?tstart=0
Using the DPS dashboard is the appropriate way to edit and organize your folio files (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com).  If you read the official documentation is says nothing about going onto Acrobat.com workspace to edit your files --You do use your Acrobat.com signin as your inital folio builder signin and the content viewer signin.  In some instances you can create problems by editing them within acrobat.com rather than the DPS dashboard.  So its worth mentioning that its more of "workaround" rather than a "workflow".  It is an amazing way to preview the product before purchasing it.

  • How long can you share a folio file for and how many people simultaneously

    Hi There,
    Questions per above title, can you share a folio file via the content viewer for an unlimited time?  How many people could you share it with simultaneously?
    As well I am trying to understand do you have to pay for DPS (and if so can it just be the single version) to be able to share a .folio file through the content viewer.  Can you just have in design 5.5+.
    In addition, if the .folio file is set up for Ipad distribution when shared will it be formatted and fully usable/interactive through the content viewer by the person you are showing it to on the ipad?
    Any help is appreciated.

    You do not need to pay to share a folio file via the content viewer.
    I'm not aware of any limits on how long a folio can be shared to, or how many e-mails a folio can be shared to.
    And yes, on the interactivity question.

  • Create single .folio file for desktop viewing

    Hi,
    I need a bit of help here please. We are currently on issue 2 of our iPad magazine: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/absolute-photo-magazine/id719597521?mt=8
    We are trying to create a version of our app that Advertisers can view on all platforms (iPad & Desktop). What we have done is created a delegate account and from the folio builder panel, we have shared the specific folio with that delegate and emailed the login credentials to certain advertisers. This allows them to view it using Content viewer on an iPad.
    I am also trying to export the .folio file in order to send this out to specific people to view using Content Viewer on desktop (PC & MAC). In the example here http://www.e3zine.com/desktopviewer.html there is a single .folio file but when I use the export function within the Publishing Suite it exports a zip file which contains all articles as individual .folio files. Is there any way of exporting this folio as one single .folio file?
    Thanks
    Dean

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. I will try the solution for windows users. However, for Mac desktop users this is supported by DPS as shown in this example:
    http://www.e3zine.com/desktopviewer.html where I was able to download a .folio file and preview it in Content Viewer on my iMac. I have been able to export my published folio from the publishing suite into a zip folder on my desktop which contains a series of .folio files that are all viewable within content viewer for desktop. The question is how to create one single .folio file like in the example rather than a series of .folio files?
    Thanks

  • Reconstitute a .folio File for Edit in ID

    Is there a way to open a .folio file that was exported from the DPS cloud and edit it using InDesign?
    What should I do if the laptop that has all of our in-progress InDesign files goes missing?
    Thanks,
    Seth

    unfortunately not. You wil have to recreate the source files (inDesign). Good thing is that you can now relink them to the folio file so you don't have to delete and re add the articles.

  • Question about distributing an app for free through the AppStore and taking payment for the online software separately

    We intend to sell a package of online software to Golf clubs. Part of the bundle is 25 iPhones that their members use whilst attending the club.  There is an app which is controlled and administered by the online software, each of the 25 apps need to have this app installed, and the AppStore is the best way for them to download it and be pushed updates.
    Would we be breaching Apple’s terms and conditions in any way by offering this app for free through the AppStore and taking payment for the online software separately (the iPhone app is completely unusable without the online software).
    Please could you advise?

    Probably a question best addressed either in the developers' forum or by contacting Apple directly.

  • XMP Standard - Is there a tool for non-professionals to handle PDF files for free?

    I'd like to start organising my various files and I wonder if I could include PDF files into the process (it seems easier with graphics), possibly also some video or audio files in the future. I hope there's a tool, not onle for IT specialists to handle it and some clear video/document tutorial to assist.
    Waiting  for your advice !

    As I mentioned on the other thread, the forms need to be
    flattened. CFPDF cannot flatten LiveCycle forms, only Acrobat
    Forms. The suggested solution was to use LiveCycle ES

  • HTMLResources for folio file

    Hi!
    Dear Common Wisdom:
    I am presently distributing folio files via the built-in inDesign 5 and do not have a DPS subscription.
    We used to be able to upload an "HTMLResources.zip" in acrobat.com, but this is no longer the practice.
    I need to add new resources to a folio I am currently already sharing.
    What can I do?
    Thanks!
    CJ

    Uploading the HTMLResources.zip should be possible when you log in to
    digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, accessible even without a DPS subscription.

  • No Folio File field in Viewer Builder?

    For some reason I do not have a field to associate a folio file to a viewer in the Viewer Builder. This greatly impairs the user experience.
    I'm using Indesign 5.5, have downloaded the most recent updates from the DPS site and have cleared the cache of my browser. I've also released an app in pre-release but this is the first one in the new interface.
    The documentation in the DPS help section references the Folio File field in the Basic Settings panel of Viewer Builder but I've navigated through the Viewer Builder and see no place to actually designate the folio to be built into the viewer. What am I missing?
    I can see where folios published to the account will automatically populate the viewer and from a developer standpoint maybe there isn't a need to associate a specific file to build and release the viewer itself, but the app for this viewer (that was successfully built in the DPS VB with confirmation as completed) was rejected by Apple because from their point of view it's an app with no content (no actual folio files for an end user to look at.)
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response Bob.
    Yes, multi-folio viewer is what I need for a series of digital magazines. Sorry, in pre-release the multi-folio viewer was built and pointed to a folio file as with a single viewer. The new release is fantastic, I'm not nostalgic. Just trying to troubleshoot.
    After your post I assumed then that the viewer must automatically read what's been published and auto-populate the viewer. The problem was that I wasn't seeing the folio in the viewer on my ipad (loaded with iPhone Config Utility) but was seeing it through the generic Adobe Viewer. I checked certificates, settings, etc. in the viewer and everything checked out fine. I then went through publishing options.
    What I found was that when the folio is set to free, it is viewable in the custom viewer we've created. When it is set to retail (we are planning on selling this issue) it is not. Has anyone else experienced this? Have I configured soemthing wrong? I re-checked documentation and don't see any additional settings needed for retail release. Is the viewer expecting some additional info from the App Store to process the display icon of the folio for purchase?

  • Purchasing MIDI files for use in GB

    Hello,
    Can anyone recommend a web site where song files without vocals can be obtained for use in garageband? I have found some files from friends and actually copied some from karaoke cd's, but I have heard you can purchase files from the internet.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Eli

    You can find almost any popular tune as a Midi file for free on the Net, using Midi search engines like www.musicrobot.com/. You can import these into GB, but you by hand since GB doesn't support the General Midi standard.
    And be warned: The quality of these amateur renditions varies a lot.
    (Disclaimer: There might also legal issues involved in this kind of sharing, but it seems like the music companies are tolerating it as long as it's not for profit.)
