Folio builder panel wont open layout

I have been working on a Folio. When I sat down to work on my folio, I was instructed by indesign to update my Folio producer tools, which I did.
Since then I can no longer view any article layout from that folio in indesign. Indeed any folio that I create that does not reside on my desktop give the same problem. I can import articles, add articles and they all upload to the proper place at adobe and I can view them. But I simply cannot open them up through folio builder as I previously.
The exact error message is as below:
An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.
The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
Another strange thing that seems to be happening is that the folio will randomly reoder the articles in the folio.
I have dumped my indesign prefs, tried creating an entirely new project, made a new account and even reinstalled the entire software.
But the problem of opening an article that I have imported or added to a folio, simply not being found to open has got me stumped. I can't proceed with a major project until I can sort this out.
Can anyone help.
Many thanks
Steve
The problem initially seemed very similar to the one linked below, but I dont get the content generation error

Hi Casey,
That is my main concern, I moved nothing. The only thing that has changed is that I had a message pop up that folio builder needed an update (which I did, as I couldn't do any more work in it until I had done this).
Once I had completed this, I couldn't load any of the files through the builder that I had previously worked on.
I have just checked the path as per your instructions, and that is totally fine.
I have created a test project using new fresh files/folios and articles and still get the same.
There are two things that make this even stranger.
1. Everything works fine if I work on a folio that has all files in a folder on my desktop. If I work at any other level of sub folder it doesn't.
and:
2. The folio will randomly reorder the articles within it. If I put them back where I want them, a few hours or updates later folio builder will re-organise them.
Totally weird

  • 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.

  • 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.
    I don't use either so not a major crisis for me. Thank you for the solution! Appreciate your help.

  • Can't log into Folio Builder panel. Wont verify CC Membership. Indesign or DPS bug?

    I have tried to log in to see my folios in the folio Builder panel. However it as for AdobeID. I am logged into my CC Account already. so when the builder panel trys to verify it just spins and spins and tells me to enter password again. any help would be nice. I have update panel and deleted the OOCM file or that is what I think I read to do on this forum. Thanks in advance for any direction.

    Well mate, I've got inDesign CC and have similar issue. Mine is saying no internet, connect and try again... I contacted CC centre and they are saying I have to wait for 24 hours until SAB ( which I am not sure what it is) to be removed and the account will be activated. I must say Adobe charged me for the CC first and payment has been made.
    I recommend you to contact their centre and explain to them what is happening. The other way, try to sign in to your creative cloud first and then run your inDesign CC and see how you go.
    Kind regards,
    Calvin

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Folio Builder doesn't open

    When I go to Window > Extensions in my InDesign CS5.5 (Mac), Foilo Builder is there but absolutely nothing happens when I try to select it. All other extensions there open up, but not Folio Builder. I have uninstalled Folio Producer tools, the Folio Builder panel alone, then re-installed the latest CS5.5 updates (yes, not the CS5 updates) for both many times, with the same results. I had Folio Builder working previously, after updating it, even having a folio built, but now the panel just doesn't open. Anyone know how to fix this? I've run out of ideas. Thanks.
    Fred

    Thanks for your reply -
    It's not the Adobe account that I have a problem with but the second user account on my computer that I had to create. So I log into my mac as a different user. My folio builder works on one user but not the other and is essentially the same software being used.  I just open it as a different administrator. I can log into folio builder as my second computer user all ok but the other prompts for an update to the tools.
    It means I have to log in and out as different users just to use folio builder. Any ideas?
    This issue we have with two separate machines in our studio - they each have two separate mac user accounts so we can access the folio builder.
    I hope this makes sense - any feedback to fix this would be a massive help!
    Many Thanks

  • 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.

  • Folio Builder panel is empty?

    Hi, the various folios I have created within InDesign seem to have disappeared from the Folio Builder panel. I am signed in, paid up, restarted, re-opened and have updated all software. Anyone else had this problem? They ARE showing up in the SPS Folio Producer panel online. I have also created a new folio just to see, but the panel in InDesign is still empty, although that also shows up in the browser. Associated options from the little drop-down menu in the InDesign panel are also absent, as if I had no folios.
    Thanks,
    David

    I'll add that it's clearly a glitch. I don't have the option to create an article from an open document. However, quitting InDesign I get an altert saying that the folio builder is busy—as though I have managed to get it to do a task, despite no visual feedback of that in the panels...

  • 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!

    DiD you get the solution on that ?
    I'm having the same issue. No Folio builer panel apprearing at all in Indesign. I have delete the old version. Install the full version 1.5 for CS 5.5. Telling me that installation complete. But then Nothing when I open  Ind. CS 5.5, Window, Extension, Folio Builder panel ::::: NOTHING !!!
    More than frustrating... I have test it again and again (it is working on other computer but not thise one !!!!
    How id you figure it out??

  • 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.
