Folio Builder with InDesign 5.5 trial

OK so apologies if this is stupid but here's a question:
We're trying to create a demo version of a DPS document to show our publisher to approve purchasing DPS. We currently have InDesign 5.5 installed and are working on a file with interactive elements (buttons, hyperlinks, etc.) built in. I would like to be able to export the .folio file to the content viewer so it can be viewed on the iPad during our presentation, but when I click on the Folio Builder window it says I still need to download the latest version. But when I download that and install it, I still get the same message on the Folio Builder window. So the question is, can I upload a .folio file that can be viewed with the Content Viewer on the iPad using the trial version, or do I need the full version of 5.5? And if not, then any idea why I would still be getting this message?
Thanks.

Having the exact same problem. When I access the Folio Builder I get a message do download an update. I have downloaded and installed the update twice. I have uninstalled and re-installed InDesign 5.5 (I have a licensed version). Still get the message to downlaod the update.

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.

Problème pour se connecter depuis le folio builder dans indesign

comment faire lorsqu'on n'arrive pas à se connecter depuis le folio builder dans indesign ?
je ne peux pas gérer mes folios, je ne peux pas les partager...
Help please

Hi, i have got the same issue and everything i tried to fix it, was useless. AS the other guy, i can't connect to my folio builder from Indesign panel. I tried both way, directly with the link insde the pannel who inform me to click to logg in, and via the option under the button in the same panel.
I clic and then nothing happen. I spent 3 days on the forum, english and french, and this is no explanation. I uninstall and re-install, i made the update, etc..
I'm still enable to connect.
So i can't publish my creation. It's suck, really.
The URL link you provided is about an update from March 2014. So i don't know if i'm the only one in this case but, the update is not fixing anything.
Do you have an ultimate solution please ?
thx so much
regards
Esteban
J'ai le même probleme, jca fait trois jours que je suis dessus, j'ai désinstallé, réinstallé, fait les mises à jours, installer les derniers patchs (DPS 30), et rien n'y fait, IMPOSSIBLE de me connecter à ce foutu folio builder depuis la fentre dans indesign. Ni en cliquant sur le lien, ni en déroulant le menu à droite pour se connecter. Je suis furax et desespéré... quelqu'un a-t-il résolu le problème ?
D'avance merci

Mise à jour "Folio builder" plante InDesign CS6

Bonjour,
Le panneau "Folio builder" d'InDesign m'a gentiment invité à le mettre à jour... malheureusement, depuis l'installation du patch, InDesign se bloque dès que je lance ce panneau (recherche les folios). Je ne sais que faire.
Merci de votre aide,
Patrick

Bonjour. C'est en effet problématique.
Dans l'ordre,
Tentez de reconstruire les préférences d'inDesign (appuyer sur Command-Option-Shift-Ctrl au démarrage)
Vérifiez que vous n'avez pas de trop vieux .folio problématiques dans le dossier correspondant (à recherche dans la bibliothèque/library de votre machine)
Relancez l'installeur de la mise à jour
Désinstallez puis réinstallez inDesign, puis réappliquez la mise à jour.

Cant log into folio builder with in InDesign

I am logged into Adobe and the DPS site no problems but to log into it in the folio builder pannel in InDesign I get this message
Sign In has failed.
[svr.Unknown]
If i put in the wrong address then I get a messge that the iser ID and password dont match
What is the deal?

I have found a solution and I am posting it here because I had trouble finding it...
Originally I downloaded
AdobeDigitalPublishing-All.zip
and had all the correct ids but it did not work. I found a thread where someone suggested that the person go to another place here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html and download
Folio Producer tools for InDesign CS5
Folio Builder panel for InDesign CS5
once I did both of those I am now up and running.
When I downloaded All.zip I ran it and I had the folio panel but couldnt get on. Then when I downloaded the tools first it took away the folio builder panel from indesign but when I added the second one clearly named Folio Builder Panel logically my panel was back the only difference was now I could sign in instantly. I noticed my shortcut to the viewer that had installed automatically on my desktop was gone but it was still in my start menu.
It would seem the all.zip would have everything but it clearly didnt and it only had one setup.exe file and I ran it.
Hope this helps!

Create unlimited folios today with InDesign CS5 and 5.5!

Adobe's official statement
http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/create-unlimited-folios-today-with-indesi gn-cs5-5.html
Did you know…
Customers with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 can now create an unlimited number of .folio files for no additional charge.
You already know that InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 integrate with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to allow customers to publish apps to tablet devices such as the iPad, Xoom and PlayBook. But for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers who are interested in creating content for tablet devices but are not yet customers, it is now easier than ever to try digital publishing before making the financial investment in the Digital Publishing Suite solution that meets your needs.
InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers can now:
Create an unlimited number of .folio files in InDesign
Preview them on Adobe Content Viewer – including interactivity – to see how they will render when published to a tablet device
Share them with colleagues or clients on a 1:1 basis via the Adobe Content Viewer
Further, customers can now access the Folio Producer Service in the Digital Publishing Suite with a valid Adobe ID to manage and edit their .folio files. All of this can be done before purchasing Digital Publishing Suite.
If you are interested in learning how to create an App directly from InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, without writing code or depending on a developer, feel free to try it. You can pitch ideas to your client or your boss; or you can build a portfolio of your work and preview it on a tablet device. Practice makes perfect, and with an unlimited number of .folios, you can practice as much as you want! When you’re ready to publish to an app store, you can select the Digital Publishing Suite solution that is right for you.

I'm sorry EvBurk, what you want is intended not to work.
All Adobe's promotional material concerning InDesign and Digital Publishing (including the above "official statement") carefully uses verbs like "create" or "produce". But they never mention "distribute" or "spread", without explicitly referring to their exclusive hosting services. The whole Folio thing (in contrast to the former "issue" format) revolves around not giving you any chance of physically exporting, managing or owing the folio file itself. It's always somewhere on Adobe's or Apple's servers, or on your iPad, which is also as shut as a vault. So there's no way to export a folio file and toss it around like a pdf or jpeg. All you can do (without a paid distribution) is "share" your folio with some others, under the idea of "testing" and "reviewing". But this can be a cumbersome method. And even when paid (for the app), it's still difficult to distribute it outside Apple's or Android's market.
More than a year ago (in the middle of the Flash-on-iOS debate) Adobe users, developers, bloggers, and evangelists heavily criticized Apple's "walled garden". Adobe literally stated "We Love Apple - What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." Well, you could say now: "I love Adobe, but what I don't love is Adobe taking away my freedom to own my files, and distribute them on my own terms." They let us create, but not spread our ideas. It's like giving you a typewriter and copier, that only works with Adobe stock paper. Like giving you a voice and an instrument, but only allowing you to sing and play in some walled gardens (dress code: Apple ID) or secluded shed (invitation only).
I really wonder why they so fiercely protect 'their' Folio file. Why do they either have to be "under protection" or be turned into apps? I understand why Apple wants and needs to curate apps, but they don't mind me spreading my own ePubs, mp3 or jpegs. Why doesn't Adobe let me put my folio's on my own server, or send them off to someone with my own preferred service? The Content Viewer could easily be an Acrobat-like reader and let the iPad open folio's (by web links or mail enclosures) into it. If I see how many questions, worries, and problems creators and users have due to this whole closed technique and business, it would be easier to just let go and see what happens. Is it money? Of course it is. But my guess is that Adobe would eventually benefit more from it.
So I hope Adobe declares the Folio as an "open" standard soon, but they're definitely not in that stage. Maybe the specification of the file format just isn't ready yet. Maybe some managers need to remember again how to "Spread the Love"...

Issues signing out of DPS Folio Builder in Indesign CS6?

Hi - I work on about 12 magazines with DPS and am pretty consistently getting a sign out error
seems minor but try it several times an hour, not so minor.
Unable to actually sign out of an account and into another via the Indesign Folio Builder pallette,
it seems to lock me into the magazine/account and no options to sign on to another. So what ends up
happening is quitting Indesign in order to switch accounts.
As we also use a publishing system it also means a lot of bureaucracy to get back into what
ought to be a simple switch. Is Adobe going to address this type of 'power user' - aside from
the ability to have a master account for all our magazines? or at least to be signed in on
multiple accounts? or failing that the ability to have magzines nested or in folders. I can use
one sign on for our K4 system, could something similar be in the works for DPS?
I heard a rumour that the whole UI is going to be revamped away from Flash on the web
side, but what does this mean for the Indesign user, will the controls match? As a lead on
multiple projects and multiple teams something a bit more flexible would be welcome.

When you update InDesign CS6, do you see an option for updating the DPS Desktop Tools? You can manually update the DPS Desktop Tools here:

Can I use Folio Builder with my Adobe ID on another computer?

I'm working in Windows XP. I have a folio hosted in my free acrobat.com workspace, with the source files on a network drive. If I sit at someone else's computer in my workgroup and log in to Folio Builder, I can see my folio and can edit and save the articles just fine but I cannot Update them. Any attempt to Update an article in Folio Builder produces a 'content generation error'. Any attempt to get a Preview produces the same error.
Back on my own computer, everything is hunky dory.
Is this expected behaviour? Do Preview and Update rely on temp files in my specific Application Data folder, perhaps? I have ditched InDesign prefs on the computer in question but it makes no difference.

Hello John,
Yes, the ability to relink (much like you can do with media in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and InDesign) is what I had in mind. I actually did look for a place in Folio Builder that would let me redefine the location of the parent folder for all of my folios. In the video production world we have to move and share source and media files with other people frequently so I was surprised to learn this wasn't yet supported with ADPS.
For us the main reasons for some sort of relinking ability are:
- When you need to update files on a work trip, from home, or some other mobile situation.
- For instances in the future when you have backed up a project and need to restore it to make updates.
- When you need to hand over a project to someone else at a different workstation or even another facility.
Of the two choices you mentioned, I think the ability to "fix" the broken links makes the most sense for the situations I've encountered so far. Assuming it's straightforward I would have no problem going through the process when switching machines. I would assume that print designers are familiar enough with linked assets that they wouldn't have a problem with this either.

Is there a way to add a finished .folio file to the Folio Builder in InDesign

I have some training files from Lynda.com and one of them is a finished .folio file. I wanted to upload that to view it on my iPad with Adobe Digitial Editions app, but I don't see an option to just upload a finished .folio file in the Folio Builder tab in InDesign. Do I have to create a new folio and then add each document to it article by article? It would be great to just upload the completed folio as it is. Thanks for any help!

Sorry, I meant Adobe Content Viewer and the similar iPad app. Thanks for the help though. I ended up creating a new .folio in InDesign and uploading each article one by one. It ended up working out, just a little time consuming.

Problems accessing Folio Builder in InDesign

There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I208
The first time I tried updating InDesign my connection got interrupted. Ever since, I keep getting this error when I try to update. I've tried almost everything listed in previous discussions, to no avail.
Anyone have a solution to this problem? Need it to use Folio builder!
Thanks!

I'm trying to apply the update for the Folio Bulider in Adobe InDesign CS6. Since I posted this the update says it went through, but I still cannot use Folio Builder. When I go to check my updates, it says InDesign is up to date.
I'm currently running Mac OSX Version 10.6.8
And my current version of AAM is Version 7.0.0.62.

How do I get Folio builder on Indesign

I am working in digital publishing and I cannot access folio overlays. When I click folio builder it says that I need to update my software but everything is up to date. Also, I tried downloading Adobe digital publishing patch thinking that that would work but, while trying to download it is saying that it isn't applicable for me and to check for updates. Again, I have no updates. Can someone please help??

Try downloading the relevant patch for CS6 from below links:

Indesign hangs in Folio builder

It begin to happen yesterday. When i try to log out from Folio builder panel, Indesign hangs.
It happens on several computers, windows-mac; 32bit-64bit.
So i think there is something happened in Adobe's side.
Ants

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.

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!

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 not working in InDesign

This morning my Folio Builder panel in InDesign stopped working. It's become just a big gray rectangle. It was fine on Friday.
Running the newest version of Folio Builder in InDesign CS5.5 on Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Hey Thanks Andrew! But yeah, I tried that a couple of times. I think it was more of an InDesign issue than anything else. Even my KULER extension was having a hard time. For some reason I kept getting a “No internet connection detected.” message, even tho I was connected to the internet…
Ahh well… All’s well that ends well.
