Folio Builder Panel Won't Display

In ID CS5.5 I can't get the Folio Builder panel to display. I've tried everything (deleting Prefs, DPS tools, re-installing, rebooting, etc.) but every time I open it is says "A newer version of the Folio Builder is available for download. Update Folio Panel to the newest version here." I've done that. I've uninstalled the DPS tools, and re-downloaded and re-installed the Folio Builder and the Folio Panel. Regardless, nothing works. Any suggestions out there? Grrrrrrrrrrr....

If the link for incompatible plug-ins doesn't work, try the following:
1. Install BOTH the Folio Producer tools and the Folio Builder panel. You're probably already doing that, but some people mistake the tools for the panel without realizing there are two different installers.
2. Delete all the DPS temp files. This is especially important if you've installed a prerelease version of ID CS6. On a Mac, these temp files are located in user > Library > Preferences > StageManager.[###] > Local Store [edited]. Delete all the folders in the Local Host folder. You'll lose all your local folios, but you can re-create them.

  • Folio Builder panel won't verify AdobeID. can't see folios. any suggestions?

    I try to log in to the filio builder panel and it keeps trying to verify my adobe id. I can connect using the id to CC, Create.adobe.com site, foilo Producer site and adobes main site. any suggestion?

    I can log into the http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com with same email address. Folio builder can't verify my Creative Cloud Adobe ID. They are the same. It tries real hard and then hic-ups and ask for it again. I can get to all my folios though the website they are no showing up in Indesign.

  • Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Cannot access Adobe Folio Builder using Indesign (CS6) on Windows 7, error message is 'An error has occured while trying to sign in to the Folio Builder Panel' [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE]

    Yes, I can open the DPS portal via the Folio Builder panel within InDesign. Although I have created Folios locally within InDesign CS6, the DPS portal is empty and everthing greyed out with just the text "There are no folios to display. Create folios with the folio builder in InDesign".
    If I try to sign in within the Folio Builder panel in InDesign, I get the error message [IMS_ERROR_FAILURE] . In addition I am also not able to access the "Help" menu from within InDesign although I am connected to the internet.
    To complicate it even further, I am working in the UK whereas all internet control (firewall) and licences are handeled by head office in Germany. I am not sure if this is a firwewall issue or not but if the IT department in Germany could get support from Adobe to understand the access requirements, this may help.
    Hopefully using the forum someone out there will know the answer.

  • Version 19 Release - Update Folio Builder panel

    Digital Publishing Suite released a mandatory update to the Folio Builder panel as well as a new version of the Folio Producer tools. You can view a list of new features here: What's new in this release.
    Should you update the Folio Builder panel?
    Yes, or you won't be able to use the panel. Note that updating the panel does not affect your version of the DPS tools.
    Should you update the Folio Producer tools?
    If you're in the last stages of publishing a folio, if you have an important presentation coming up, or if you created a custom viewer using a previous set of tools and don't want to update your viewer app yet, install only the Folio Builder panel.
    If you install the new Folio Producer tools and create a folio, you cannot view it in the current Adobe Content Viewer on the iPad (until Apple approves the new version) or with a custom viewer app that hasn't been updated to v19. If you try to open a new folio in an older viewer, a "Please update your app" message appears.
    If you have a Professional or Enterprise account, you can use the Viewer Builder to create a custom version of the Adobe Content Viewer so that you don't have to wait for Apple to approve.
    For links and addition installation information, see Installing digital publishing tools.

  • Why I can't use the Folio Builder panel on my Indesign 5.5?

    When I launch the Folio Builder panel in my Indesign 5.5. There is a message that says "To start the digital publishing authoring process, please download the update for the Folio Producer components and relaunch your application." I have downloaded the "FolioProducerTools-CS55-1-9-1.zip", installed it and restarted my machine but when I launch the Folio Builder panel again and it has the same message so does anybody know what I have missed?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Bob for your super fast reply. Cheers!

  • InDesign CC - "Create App" option missing from Folio Builder panel

    I am using Windows 7, InDesign CC. 
    While watching a Terry White video I made an app along wth the tutorila All works fine in the Desktop Viewer. When it reaches the point of going to the "Folio Builder" panel mine does not have the "Creat App" option that Terry White has.  Is this because I have windows not
    Mac?

    Yes, a Mac is required to create DPS apps.

  • Sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel

    hi! I can't sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel. what can a i do?? I can sign in from adobe web page, but not from indesign, and the option "updates" from "Help" menu is deactivated

    I found one way to fix it:
    - quit all CS6 apps
    - if in OSX force quit the CS6ServiceManager via Activity Monitor app
    - go to the User Library (hold down option key while accessing the Go menu) and find these:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager/preference/csxs3.pref  - move this file out to desktop
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db - move this file out to desktop
    zip these up and delete the original, you now have inaccessible copies to put back just in case but have found this unnecessary.
    - Restart Indesign and log in should now hold.
    Found this started to happen after updating to 10.9.2, on a number of our designers machines.

  • Endless Log-In Error : InDesign Folio Builder Panel

    I updated my folio tools/panels to 1.1.9.0 and then accidentally entered in the wrong username and password in the InDesign Folio Builder Panel when I went to log back in. (The user name and password were from an DPS Professional Edition account which we suspended with Adobe to prevent billing while testing.)
    The inDesign panel just endlessly cycles now. Wont give me the option to re-enter correct information. I've closed/re-opened the panel, deleted / reinstalled the panel & tools, and I've deleted my inDesign preferences, but every time upon application launch the folio builder panel just cycles as seen below. I'm stuck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Try signing out of the CS Live widget in the upper right corner of InDesign, close the Folio Builder panel, and try again.

  • Folio Builder Panel update error

    Tried updating folio tools 3Xs. Keep getting this eror:
    A newer version of Folio Builder is available for download.  Update Folio Builder panel to latest version here.
    Have quit inDesign, restarted the computer, logged on and still get the error.
    Any ideas?

    There was a short amount of time where the link in the Folio Builder panel was redirecting to the old download still, but it should be working now.
    You can head directly to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html to get your downloads. Make sure that the file is from November 17th.

  • Folio builder panel issues - CS6 - Mac

    My folio builder panel is just blank. Not sure why. I use it once a month for a monthly issue of a magazine of sorts, and went to use it today and there is nothing visible. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Sharing/Unsharing Apps in Folio Builder Panel - Tweaks

    Adobe could help us out by cleaning up this Folio Builder panel feature.
    Pasting a list of e-mail addresses has to be formatted juuuust right, otherwise it doesn't recognize them. When adding users it would be useful if there was some sort of memory/auto-fill that recognized previously added users from other folios. Perhaps a master list appears and we could just click to add users from that list. Showing the abbreviated address or name is also quite annoying (for example, when you add a user it formats the entry into a nice little "bubble" but truncates the info). Is this really necessary?
    Thanks for being awesome.

    Hi Ruthanne, thanks for the response, but it turns out the solution is:
    Quit InDesign and any other CS apps. 
    First, delete the opm.db file located in /Users/"your user name"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db, and then start InDesign and try signing in to the panel.
    Why that has taken Adobe support, four phone calls, and unhelpful advice, plus a link to a help article that I had to go through several links to find the answer to, I don't know.
    It would help if the "DPS" support team were better trained, and rather than sendind emails with links to articles on them, had s stock number of troubleshooting steps to try I don't know.
    I was advised to create a whole new user account, uninstall InDesign, and reinstall it on that user account to see if that solved the problem, but fortunately this simple fix cured it in my standard user account.
    I have learned in a very painful and stressful way, that a lot of the information on the support forums is not up to date, and relates to CS5 and CS5.5, and that Adobe expect you to do a lot of the research into problems yourself, as they often don't know the cure. I know that DPS is very complex - but all the more reason to invest in better trained support staff.

  • The Folio Builder panel, design-wise...

    Part of my job is to teach routined InDesign users how to build Folio's. Most of them do quite well, after their initial confusion with the Interaction panels ("which do and which don't work with ADPS"). But the panel they fear most, is definitely the Folio Builder. Not even because of its casual malfunctioning (that's my nightmare as a trainer), but mainly because of its design and cosmetics. The panel sports a well-know and trusted appearance, but it's a devil in disguise.
    It begins with logging-in. "No, you can't click the bull's-eye, it's just a mysterious indicator." It would be much more obvious if it looked like a led (red or green) or if it had some useful interaction to it - letting you log in/out perhaps...
    Next, the three-tiered views are not clear enough. When I show them the image below, and tell them how their workflow moves from left to right and from right to left (from "Account" to "Folio" to "Article" to "Layout" and v.v.) they immediately 'get it'. And after warning them that the navigational elements on top of the panel are quite clueless (what to hit, to go where to), and that you're often thrown back from Layout to Folio (skipping Article), they're in charge and on guard. Finally, I tell them that the "New" button magically changes its functionality in each level ("wait for the pop-up!"). It is highly unusual that a side menu shows and hides certain commands in each level. It should list ALL associated commands, and show momentarily unavailable ones grayed out.
    This all wouldn't be necessary if the panel would be a bit more self-explanatory. I hope this rant helps to improve its design.

    very good. these all need to be addressed. the experience of the folio
    builder panel is bad... I have so many ideas of a redesign in my mind, but
    I'm not in charge. maybe this thread can turn into a design ideaas for the
    Panel.
    good start, Peter!
