Folio builder crashes

I think I have a few problems, first of all with folio builder, when I open it I click new, type in the name, in this case "ABI"
but then nothing? I must be doing something wrong, but cant see it, also, more often than not Indesign crashes when typing the folio name in as well.
I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7 and CS5, with no intentions of updating to CS5.5
HELP!

Hi Bob
We're actually using your Lynda tutorial for our training, it's such a great resource thank you.
Here's a thread I was reading which wasn't helpful for myself although I did try some solutions that were relevant to me.
Re: InDesign CS 6 Folio Builder crashing
Solutions tried:
- Re installing InDesign CS6
- Downloaded DPS updates directly from Adobe
- One post suggested deleting my cache file/folders which would result in any folios I've made deleted however this
is the first time I've used the DPS tools in Adobe so I didn't worry.
- I've also deleted/reset my preferences
Is there anything else you can suggest?

  • Folio Builder Crash

    Hi,
    Paid for and installed InDesign CC 9.2.2 yesterday, then installed the DPS addition to use the DPS features. Apparently I am completely up to date on InDesign updates.
    On opening the Folio Builder panel, the panel flashes once, then crashes InDesign completely. Pinwheel of death.
    Running on Mac OS 10.6.8, slightly below recommended requirements but have had no problems until opening the Folio Builder Panel.
    This thread describes basically the exact same probem and I have tried the suggestions given there: Re: InDesign CS 6 Folio Builder crashing
    The issue in that thread was unanswered as of August 2013. Have there been any fixes on this?
    I haven't been able to find any more recent work-arounds.
    Using DPS is the main reason I bothered to subscribe to CC. Unless I can get a fix for this very soon I am cancelling the subscription and will be happy to warn others away.

    Hi, Gabriel:
    I am engineer working on DPS tools. Update an article should not change the orientation. I just gave it a try with a normal 1024x768 article and update seemed to work fine for me. If you'd like to diagnose the problem further and fix the update action in your panel, you may contact me [email protected] in seperate email. Thanks!

  • InDesign CS6 Folio Builder Crashes Version 32.0.0

    Hi,
    I've only just installed the DPS Desktop Tools for InDesign CS6 and the installation worked perfectly although upon opening Folio Builder in InDesign it results in the program crashing...
    So far I've re installed InDesign I've tried a few other solutions although none seem to be relevant to this version 32.0.0
    It wouldn't be that big a deal although I need the Folio Builder tool for my current assessment.. Not being able to work on it at home is going to be detrimental to the end result
    Hope someone can help me!

  • InDesign CS 6 Folio Builder crashing

    Hello all,
    I have a big problem with DPS tools for Adobe InDesign CS6 (CC) on Mac OS X Lion. Every time I start the Folio Builder or Folio Overlays panel it flickers 3 or 4 times and then the InDesign crashes. I have trashed the InDesign preferences and installed the latest patch for DPS tools without any improvement. Occasionaly the Folio Builder opens but then there are other issues (I've had 9 instances of the same file open at once with no way to close them - I close 3 or 4 and the same number of files  opens again).
    I hope u understand it is quite annoying since i'm trying to build my first folio for a very important client and for now it's been a nightmare. I'm even considering reverting back to ID CS5.5.
    Please advise on further action.
    A link to pastebin for error report: http://pastebin.com/ZvYHsGbd
    Thank you in advance,
    Matej

    I've got the same problem here...
    I installed InDesign 6 on Mac Snow Leopard system via the Adobe Application Manager and I'm using the Trial run for now.
    After installation I updated all the components right away through the help menu in ID.
    I also got InDesign 5.5 installed with the Digital Publishing Suite.
    As soon as I click the Folio Overlays panel (docked or not docked) InDesign starts opening the same (so it seems) random file.
    When I try to close one, another one opens, forcing me to force quit ID.
    I allready tried the following solutions:
    - downloading the DPS directly from the website instead of the Updates menu
    Which gives me an error when trying to install: 'can not apply updates'
    - I deleted the following preferences files and caches:
    /Users/user name/Library/Preferences/ StageManager.<long_guid>/Local Store/
    #SharedObjects
    - Tried the Ptach file, but it's an .exe so can't use it
    Any other options? Beacuse it's pretty useless like this...
    Thanks a lot!

  • InDesign Crashes Opening Folio Builder Panel

    While working on a publication, I will leave the Folio Builder panel to open a different one. Upon trying to reopen the builder panel so I can add my publication to the folio, InDesign crashes. Without fail, everytime. No matter what InDesign document I have open, it will crash. I have to force quit, reopen and add the document first thing. before begining work on another article.
    Anyone know why?

    I open Indesign and it automatically signs me into my dps acct.
    I begin working on an article (using the different tools like object states, buttons, video)
    all of those panels are in the same tool group as the folio builder so folio builder gets collapsed while using the other tools.
    when it is time to update my article and i go to open the folio builder panel is when it freezes InDesign.
    I don't have any exact steps to reproduce this because the other tools I use varies, but if the folio builder panel gets collapsed, InDesign freezes when I reopen it.

  • Cannot update my folio. Builder crash?

    Hi,
    I started creating a new folio last friday and up until this morning everything worked fine. Ever since I ran the update, though, I can no longer work with the tools. I tried reinstalling but still. Here's my problem:
    I open InDesign, log in using the Folio Builder, open one of my articles' layout, make some minor changes, click to add the layout, then the usual routine follows and it uploads the new layout to the cloud. So far so good. However, on the iPad I just won't get an update notification. Going back to InDesign, I realize that the Folio Builder seems to have crashed - now it won't even let me open the article layouts. I have to quit and restart InDesign in order to be able to access the cloud again.
    Hope that makes sence. Using InDesign CS5 with the Folio Producer Tools downloaded Friday, FolioPanel this morning. Working on a Mac. Looking forward to any tips.
    Best regards, Gabriel

  • Folio Builder plug in crashed

    Hi,
    First of all, sorry for my non-fluent technical english.
    I have a big problem : I started to work on DPS last week. registered as a free user and sent and downloaded my first publication .zip. So far so good !
    But after that, i wasn't able to start a new folio on my mac as Indesign folio Builder pannel disapeared totally. Impossible to create or go back to my previous work.
    The adobe content viewer even displayed me  it was running for the first time when i asked a preview via the overlays pannel.
    I think Dps plug-in crashed but i don't know how to delete it and launch it again on my INDESIGN soft (updated version 6 on 10.8.4 os).
    Is anybody here could help me ?
    Thank you so much.
    Caro.

    I'm not signing into another Adobe account, I'm signing into another Windows account on my Windows 7 machine.  So, I don't lose any folios, etc, as I'm still using the same Adobe ID to sign in.
    I was having issues staying signed into Creative Cloud a while back as well, and I used the "create a new admin account" trick to solve my folio builder issues as well.  See the post here:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5651099#5651099  The Adobe person provides links to creating new admin accounts for Mac and Windows users.  Follow the instructions, and try this route if uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign didnt' work.
    Also, just as a side note, I have been using the folio builder panel yesterday and today without any issues... so if you can't sign in, then it "probably" isn't a widespread issue.  I know that doesn't make you feel any better, but I'm hoping this is a localized issue that Adobe can pinpoint and provide an accurate, repeatable solution for!

  • Indesign Cs6 crashes when opens Folio Builder Panel

    Hi, Indesign CS& crash when I open Folio Builder panel, i´ve already re-installed Indesign and the correct DPS Desktop Tool patch. At first it works perfect but after the firs restart of my pc it crashes again. Anyoe can help me?

    Thank you! InDesign now works as it should - can open PAGES panel. Only one snag - Dreamweaver and Illustrator could not be installed. Error message below.

  • Folio Builder panel crashing + other issues

    Hi,
    I have been facing difficulties in updating any of my folio articles on the Folio Builder panel in Indesign CS6 this whole week. An article that contains of three spreads and a file size of around 60 mb takes up to an hour to update and most of the times the panel crashes straight after the upload is complete and hence the update don't go through. When the panel crashes I just see the panel with a blank space inside it, no folios and I can not sign out — I have to restart InDesign.
    After several attempts, quitting InDesign and opening it up again, opening up the panel again and trying to update the article then [sometimes] it works – still very slow, but it doesn't crash and when it does, I have to do this over again.
    And on Content Viewer, downloading the folio updates takes longer than usual. Again only this week.
    My folios are on the cloud. My internet is pretty quick, DL 60 mb/s and UL 600 mb/s so there are certainly no problems with my internet connections. And all my DPS files are up to date. It usually takes maximum an hour to upload the whole folio, it took 8 hours yesterday.
    Thanks,
    Bilal

    Uninstall and re-install the Digital Publishing Suite Tools for CS6. If that doesn't resolve the issue, un-install and re-install InDesign CS6.

  • Folio Builder Panel on 2nd Monitor Crashing Indesign

    I am not sure if this question is appropriate in this forum or the indesign forum, but Ill start here.
    I keep all my indesign palettes on a second monitor, and now everytime I open Indesign it  repeatedly crashes unless I do a fresh open after deleteing my preferences.
    Through trial and error I have narrowed down the issue to the Folio Builder Panel. If i open indeisgn with the folio builder panel open on a second monitor it crashes my system everytime.
    Anyone else ever had a similiar issue?

    Thanks Bob for your super fast reply. Cheers!

  • Indesign CS6 crash when open Folio Builder

    Dear Adobe team,
    I have updated my DPS Desktop Tools in Indesign CS6 (windows8), with version 27. Then, when open folio bulider, my Indesign always crash, and automatically close the program. How to resolve this problem?
    Thx
    Indodesigner

    This happend to me many times with CS5.5 and CS6 since one year at least (I am on PC win 8 and two screens) last time was after installing v27 too.
    ID starts normaly and loads my favorite workspace opening the folio builder wich tries to connect to adobes folio server.
    at this very time the spining wheel stops and ID crashes.
    This is a complete mystery for me !
    After many tests I figured out that :
    1 - I could quickly switch my work space at the start, choosing one that doesnt display the folio builder
    2 - ID crashes ONLY when the folio builder displays on the second screen ... never on the "master" screen
    When I wrote complete mystery ... this makes no sense to me but well, this is how I still can work with ID
    For info, never had this problem with ID CC

  • Folio Builder issues

      Hi,
    We are having troubles uploading to Folio Builder. We've tried different computers, different networks, different InD versions (CS6, CC, CC 2014).... we can only get 4-6 articles in on a multiple article upload before it crashes InDesign (no error message). Is anyone else having issues?
    Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I am experiencing the exact same issue. Trying to update or upload articles and it just crashes out. I also have some bizarre flickering box appearing in the middle of my folio builder window!? Yesterday, initially I was getting to upload/update about 5 articles before it would crash out and by the end of the day I couldn't get any.

  • Folio Builder doesn't allow me to add certain articles

    I'm adding articles to folio builder and it's being a little picky about which ones I can add and which ones I can't. They're all formatted in the same size etc., but for some reason 3 of my 30 articles won't give me the "add" option or if I add them they hang and it crashes InDesign. Any ideas? Are there specific types of things I should look out for in regards to how I format my documents so that they'll play nice w/ Folio Builder?

    It's a tough one, Visslette... Of course, you checked the obvious stuff, so you need to supply a bit more info. What formats and orientation are they, are they smooth scrolling or staggering, did you check to upload them to a new magazine (just for the sake of checking the change), do they total over the 100 MB limit ?

  • Some suggestions for DPS Folio Builder and Producer...

    Aside from some speed improvements, these tools fall short of a decent production system. Some improvements would be good for 2015.
    • red light / green light on wether an article in the folio builder needs updating.
    • put the order of the Kicker and the Article Title in the order it appears in the app (in Folio Producer) (i.e.: Kicker first!).
    • frequently after signing in to the Folio Builder, Indesign 'hides' itself and the finder appears. Irritating! Doesn't crash InDesign, just hides it in the dock.
    • On leaving the Folio Builder for a period, and then tapping on it - say after one hour dormant, it crashes InDesign, regularly.
    • it would be great to drag and drop several articles in Folio Builder and be able to move them. Currently only one at a time seems to work.
    • show a small thumbnail in the article of the indesign page (instead it shows a white page)
    • in 'article properties' KICKER should be at the top to replicate where it displays in the HUD. So many people get mixed up with this.
    • it would be great to change the name of an article by clicking on the name - not having to change 'article properties' - the same way that MSO names can be edited
    • would also be good to select the various options for articles in the FB by holding down CTRL or ALT
    • have an option to 'UPDATE ALL' in the drop down options in FB
    Just some ideas - these would all help greatly.
    Dave

    I'd love to see native widgets in the Folio Overlays window like in Muse (or Twixl) for Google Maps, Youtube and others.
    Also more transitions for slideshows, and better image resolution for PDF articles (108ppi or 72ppi for graphics, depending on what you're doing, isn't enough for my clients).
