Exporting .folio file?

Hello forums,
I don't know if this is the correct place to post this but I would like to know how to create a .folio file.
I can access a Folio Preview under the File tab in my InDesignCS5 and it looks great, however I have no option to export for this type of file.
I did some research but have come up with no solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

There are prerelease tools and newer tools that are going to require a paid subscription.
I take it you just downloaded the new tools.
If that's the case the content viewer on the iPad won't work for you until the next version is approved by Apple.

Export .folio file without a subscription account

is it possible to access or export my .folio file?
my "app" is merely a private thing, and i do not wish to publish it through the app store. i just want the zip file.
possible?

The Product ID doesn't matter for free folios. It only matters if you'll charge money for the folio at some point. We recommend the "reverse DNS" naming approach: com.publisher.magazine.issuename, such as com.adobe.indesignweekly.2012january.
Why do you want the .zip file? That's useful only for creating Single Edition viewers.

EXPORT FOLIO FOR ANDROID/IPAD

Hi Everyone,
Sorry, if this question put again.
If we have designed 768x1024 document and want to export in twice size i.e., 768x1024 and 600x1024. Is it possible to export folio file for twice sizes or we have to design separately (600x1024) for it?
Please help into this.
Thanks,
amit

Export or package a DPS folio file to a html format

Can you export or package a DPS folio file to a html format, packed with all of the images? Thank you for letting me know

Thank you for letting me know Neil. Is it possible to export the DPS Folio File to any other format than .folio, which could be accessible for someone who doesn't have InDesign or an Adobe account?
Thank you for your help!

DPS Export Folio single-folio-file

hi
is it possible to export a single-folio-file to desktop?

thx 4 help

How can I export a .folio file?

This is kind of dumb but I cannot find how to export a .folio file. There's nothing on the web about how to use the desktop tools for that. Help please.

Hi Bob,
It depends what you are trying to achieve.
From what I understand you share a folio in order for another person to view the app using Adobe Content Viewer on an iPad. However, you export a .folio file if you want to send this to people and view it using Adobe Content Viewer on a desktop (PC or Mac).
This example instructs you to download Adobe Content Viewer for desktop and download a single .folio file to view the mag on desktop
http://www.e3zine.com/desktopviewer.html
We are trying to create a version that Advertisers can view on all platforms. 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.
Now I am trying to export the .folio file in order to send this out to specific people to view using Content Viewer on desktop. In the example above 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

Link Problems and Exporting the .folio file

Hello,
I have a .folio file created from CS6 InDesign. I have done the proper uploading to the Adobe Publishing Suite site and downloading to my iPad. Once downloaded the file works fine. If you quit out of the app or do a full shut down on the iPad the links on only the first page do not work in both orientations. Is there anyone that has any idea why this would happen?
Also, is there a way to export the file to your desktop and place in on your iPad without going through the Adobe Publishing Suite?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have the updated Adobe Content Viewer that was released to iTunes yesterday? We had a bug with hyperlinks in Single Edition apps and the Adobe Content Viewer when release 27 went out.
If you are on a Mac you can preview directly to your device if it is connected to your machine. See http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/preview-folios-articles.html#use_prev iew_on_device for information on how that works.

App Signing Error, Number of Folios Does Not Match the Main Folio File

Hi All;
I have a 250 page standalone app that I am trying to compile for the Apple Store. I read through the forums and enabled "AppBuilderLoggingEnabled.cfg" in my user directory to capture the issue. Here is the snippet of the log that was created that, to me, shows why the app isn't being signed.
46386 ERROR [main] codesign.Signer - Failure during signing

I've stripped out special characters from the article titles and re-built the app only to face the same error. I went ahead and created a new AppID in the Apple Developer Portal, created new provision files, and the error remains. I am now creating a new folio and importing the articles into the new folio to see if that will solve the "number of folios does not match" issue.
Any help or insight would be amazing. Thank you all.

I created a new folio and imported all of the articles again. After hitting "Create App" for this new folio, at about 10 pages in a "PDF Export" error stopped the create app process. I went into InDesign to update the layout for the 10th page to see that the PDF export issue was stopping me from updating the layouts as well. Something in the InDesign file wasn't playing nice with the folio creation, so I created two new InDesign files, deleted the article, and built a new article from scratch. I was able to import the new layouts as a new article to the main folio and hit "Create App" again. This time there were no issues with the creation process. I synched up the provision files in App Builder and was able to code sign the application.
I guess the moral of the story is to double and even triple check every article along the way to make sure there are no issues being introduced into the process that will ultimately cause headaches during the distribution phase of app creation!

Exporting Folios to share with another developer?

I did the major development on the folio for my team and now I need to hand it over to a collegaue to finish the job of publishing it. But I cannot figure out how to share it with them. If I share the folio through the Dashboard, they don't have access to publish it. If I export the folio form the Dashboard I get a zip file that InDesign doesn't seem to want to import.
How do I package the files up and give them to someone else to work with?
Thanks.
Josh.

That is essentially saying you have to rebuild the entire publication from scratch in InDesign. Is there no way to hand the finished document over to someone else to simple publish it???

Upload multiple folio files in DPS

Hi i have folloved the Adobe_Publishing_Companion_Guide_for_iPad and the iTunesConnect_Guide
But nowhere in the process i needed to opload the .folio or the exprted zip file from foliobuilder.
My question is?
Where in the DPS do i upload the .zip with the .folio files (both hd and the one for ipad 1 and 2) for my first issue?
helen

OK then you do not have to export the folio. For Multi Folio Apps, publish as Public from Folio producer and use your folio producer id as Title id in DPS App Builder/Viewer Builder. Use renditions to publish iPad 2 and iPad 3 folios if you have already built those, else use the new pdf single format option which works great on both retina and non-retina display iPads.
Then complete your Build using APP builder. For multi issue apps, your folios are hosted by Adobe thus once you download the App, individual folios are separately downloaded directly from Adobe's Servers. Concept of exporting the folio is applicable in case of built in single issues and Single edition workflow.

How to edit *.folio files in Folio builder

Hi,
I have list of .folio files and I want to edit those files and copy the text from the .folio fiile.
Can any tell me how to edit .folio files.
Is it possible to edit the .folio files in Folio panel. Or if any other application can able to open the .folio files, please guide me on this.
Thanks,
Krish

You could, but you won't get what you want.
The .folio file simply contains flattened images/pdfs of the page. So thus, you can't copy the text as though it's XML or part of some sort of word document. I suppose you might be able to try to copy and paste the text off of the PDF, if it's a PDF folio. But.. yick.
From folio builder, preview the folio on your machine using the desktop Content Ciewer. (Or Export it via Folio Producer after publishing it privately.)
On your mac, then navigate to \Users\{username}\Library\Application Support\com.adobe.dmp.contentviewer\Local Store\FolioCache\{Folio Name}\{Article Name}\StackResources.
This should get you to the PDF files for each article.

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
Dean

Folio creation: InDesign keeps hanging on Exporting Folio - Optimising links

Hi,
I have the problem since today that when trying to update and/or creating a new article, the folio creation keeps hanging at the point "Exporting folio... - Optimising links". OSX shows that InDesign is not responding.
After about 5-10 minutes, some of the articles will finish as others will not. Those who finished have an additional error: The upload has failed. Network failure.
- I have tried it in CS5.5, CS6 and CC
- I have tried updating my current article (what should be the case) and I have tried adding a new article
- I have tried creating a new folio
- I have tried a new offline folio
Always the same result. InDesign keeps hanging. The same files worked yesterday without problems.
Thanks for your help!

Phew, you're going from one format to another, hopping through techniques as if everything can be put in a magical media blender, and expect it to work. With these emerging new media, you have to keep the formats and techniques apart. You can't just design any visual and interactive idea, since all formats have different possibilities. And there's no easy conversion available. Yes, PDF seems a relatively 'old' trick, and SWF and HTML can do a lot, but compared to the flexibility we got used to after five centuries of messing around with paper, these new media are stubborn and largely detached from eachother. And folio's are just another branch on the wildly winding tree.
Like Bob says: familiarize yourself with the DPS/folio techniques and try to work out an (new) idea upon that basis. Of course, you can repurpose many of the elements and content you also used for other formats, but you do have to rework them.

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.

Dear Justin,
I am working with Primavera software (project manager application), populating data with project data is done using the tools provided. We have done it million times well, in use we're using WE8ISO8859P1, we are using WE8ISO8859P15 in western europe where I am. I personally have done this against WE8ISO8859P15 many times, and no problem so far till today.
I had this kind of problem before with WE8ISO8859P1 or other non euro supported character set, and solved by reimporting to new database with correct WE8ISO8859P15.
