Folio Copy

I watched Colin's video on the new Folio Copy feature.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-digital-publishing-suite/copy-folio-streamline-production
At the end he mentions that the orginial files still are owned by the folio is account shared from and that any updates would have to be made from that account.
What is the recommended procedure for incorporating updates?

When you copy a folio, there is no link between the original and copied folio. To keep both folios updated, you need to edit the source files and update the articles in both folios. If you copied the folio to the same computer, both folios point to the same source files, so it's easy to update articles in both folios. If you're using a different computer to edit the copied folio, you'll need to maintain two sets of source files (unless you use Dropbox to store the source files on a server).

Is it possible to copy or export metadata from Folio Producer?

Hi,
Is it possible to copy or export metadata from one issue in Folio Producer and import/apply it to a different issue in Folio Producer? Or create a master metadata template that every issue build could use? It would save a lot of time and typing not having to re-enter the same information every month when releasing the next issue for departments, bylines, etc.
Thanks!

Bob,
Do you know when exporting metadata from Folio Producer will be available, and will it export directly to another rendition, or would it export to a sidecar.xml file?
The workflow my team prefers is to build our 1024x768 folio first, add metadata via Properties in the Folio Builder as we add articles, share the folio with editors and advertising sales, make edits and updates, then when all content is approved, create the 2048x1536 rendition folio using multiple importing of articles.
Having the ability to export from an existing folio in Folio Producer would save tons of tedious copying/pasting to get a sidecar.xml.
Hopefully when this becomes available you'll have a big announcement. (Please?)
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to have PDF and PNG versions of 'same' folio

Is it possible when copying over the articles to have one folio as PDF and another as PNG?
Tried doing this by setting up an alternative folio as PNG and copying across the articles that were created for the original PDF folio, but they still appear to be PDF when loaded into the new folio and previewed on tablet, even though it has been set to PNG.
Do they only get converted to PNG when published? shouldn't one be seeing thumbnails in the DPS Folio Producer: Editor browser window. Trying to preserve the meta data tags between folios, or do I have to re-export these files and re-input the tags and attributes manually.
I see there is a way of copying articles between folios at an admin level, would this result in a correct transposition of PDF to PNG?

We use the K4 publishing system, and haven't started using their plugin yet, as we are still 'kicking the tires'. That said PDF and Android don't play together so well, hence looking at a PNG version without having to re-enter all the metadata again, which is what happens with the method you describe above.
The trouble is that the meta data is not part of the Indesign document so we have to re-enter it all plus there is the open/checkout/checkin/close of all documents from K4 which is a royal PIA, so uploading the same indesign documents isn't really helping. If the sidecar file worked 'properly' then perhaps that might be a solution, hear its not quite there though?
So, copying the article across to a new folio looked like it might work but not sure why when it asks when setting up the folio, whether you want PDF or PNG specs those do not stay set or why they are ignored on copying to the new supposed PNG rendition.
Would the K4 plugin solve this? would it work for all formats if we are building an Ipad and iPhone and Android version of a folio from the same document sourced in K4.

Folio not showing on Ipad Adobe Viewer

Is the second time I have a folio not showing up on my ipad adobe viewer.
This has happened after i delete 4 or more articles from the folio, after deleting them it stops showing in my ipad viewer.
I researched here before and the solution was to check for the size, (that it was a size made for ipad) and yeah, i checked the size and the size is totally fine 768x1024
but still doesnt appear.
what I have to do is to create a new folio and click "copy to" each article to the new folio (from the old one), but the option copy to has to be done one by one, which is very annoying and time consuming. Once all articles are copied the new folio shows up but the old one doesnt.
Anyone knows why this happens? how can it be solved faster?

i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload

I have an airport extreme with a HP Folio laptop and cannon pixma MX882 printer. when i am VPN'd in thru Cisco vpn and try to print the wireless print connection stops. i Un-VPN and it prints. then i have to go back into VPN to continue?how do i configure

i have an Airport Extreme wireless router, HP Folio laptop (company supplied) and a Canon PIXMA MX882 wireless printer,copier, scanner and fax.
when i am VPN's in thru CISCO VPN to my company Intranet site I cannot print wirelessly. i have to turn off VPN, priint and log back into the company intranet site. is there a way to configure the router so that it is not blocking the signal?
Tx

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

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"...

Adding text to iphoto book in folio

I just started making a book. It looks like it is going to work well, however, I am having trouble entering text into the text boxes. The boxes are uneven and the type is too small. I have changed the size of the font and that works in one of the boxes but in the other boxes there is no room to type a full sentence. How do I change the box templates so that I can write in one box? The blue text boxes are unevenly spaced under the pictures. I am using the folio layout. I saw a sample at the Apple Store and the sentences under the pictures were even and looked just like the text from a book. Am I using the wrong layout?
Thanks for your help. I am trying to get this done before Christmas!!!!

Pamela:
There is no way to resize the text boxes. In the Folio theme there are three text boxes, the file name or title, caption, description and the copyright fields. You'll just have to select the size that gets the full amount of text that you need in the box. It's the nature of the beast.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Workflow, Folios and Document Update question?

" Hi All,
System Setup - Oracle UCM 10gR3, ORacle 11G DB using OracleText
We are currently passing a folio through the workflow and want to be able to read the metadata of the content/docuemnt item stored in the folio.
We can do this from iDoc from say another webform/webpage but when we do it in the workflow scripting interface we get an error as follows:
Event generated by user 'Secretariat' at host 'appecmts01'. Error
generated when executing query '((SDATA(sddDocName LIKE 'TEST'))) and
((((prj/%) WITHIN dDocAccount)))'. Unable to execute query
'CotsSearchQuery'. ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-50857: oracle error in ctx_query.result_set
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:

ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_QUERY", line 772
ORA-06512: at "DB_ADMIN.CONTENT_SEARCH", line 116
ORA-06512: at line 1
What it is doing is automatically adding the "and
((((prj/%) WITHIN dDocAccount))" statment onto the search query, but only from the workflow iDoc script interface. Using the iDoc elsewhere works correctly.
Is this standard behaviour? What can we do to resolve the issue barring disabling accounts?

Hi
I missed out to read that line in the problem that you had put across. I had come across a scenario like this and the reason and the workaround that i ffigured out was :
Cause:
This is caused by the 'ZonedSecurityFields' configuration entry not being set with the 'xClbraUserList' and 'xClbraAliasList ' options.
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. On the Content Server's file system, navigate to <ContentServer>\config
2. Make a backup copy of the 'config.cfg' file
3. Open the 'config.cfg' file
4. Under the "Additional Variables" section, place the following configuration entry:
ZonedSecurityFields=xClbraUserList,xClbraAliasList
5. Save the changes and close the file
6. Restart the Content Server
Let me know if this resolves the issue you are facing.
Thanks
Srinath

Hyperlinks won't work when copied from h to v layout

hi there, just created a dps folio with lots of hyperlinks (InDesign CS6 everything updated to the latest version).
First in the h version I put a rectangle above the piece of content I wish to be clickable, choose 'hyperlinks' and put the link in it then inside the folio overlays I make sure 'open in folio' is selected. Second I copied the rectangle to the v version of the layout, resize it so it's covering the right content. Inside the hyperlinks panel I'll find the links, sometimes when the rectangle is selected the link shows up darkened, but most of the time when I select the copied rectangle nothing changes inside the hyperlinks-links panel. In that case I selected the rectangle and clicked again on the hyperlink so I think it's 'bind' again.
Testing the folio on the iPad everything works fine in the horizontal version, but when i try the vertical pages not 1 link is working.
When re-ensure the hyperlinks are present in the v version, I noticed that clicking on the rectangles some of them do not highlight any hyperlink but others do and none of both work on the iPad. Strange is also when I click a rectangle who does not highlight any hyperlink and I then select (apply??) the hyperlink inside the hyperlinks panel to 'bind' both together the document would not let me save the document as if there's nothing changed on it..
Is this a bug or what am I doing wrong?
any hints and tips welcome ;-)
I've just deleted the hyperlinks overlays and tried with buttons overlay and 'go to url'. That seems to works on both direction.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I do not manage the group policy and I'll have it checked. One question though, if it is the policy then would it not affect Excel 2003 as well. When I use Excel 2003, I see buttons in toolbar, using which I convert excel file to pdf and first thing it does is scans for various things ( Hyperlinks is one of them ).
When I tried with excel 2007, I can convert excel file to PDF by selecting print option and selecting Adobe there. It converts the file but the hyper links won't work.
One thing I noticed that using the pdf conversion buttons in toolbar in excel will convert hyperlinks too.
My problem here is that I do not see Adobe Acrobat converstion buttons in Excel 2007.

Inserting video into a folio article

Hi
i'm creating a folio for an ipad publicationand want to creat a seemless link between a a video and a background so there is no visible join.
When i place a video on one of the pages that has a black vignette on the lower edge on a black background and view the video playback, a thin grey line appears between the video and solid black b/ground. I'd like the video to play as if it was part of the page without a joint being visible. The video is on the top half of the page and bleeds off teh 3 bounding edges...the black solid is the bottom half with text overlayed.
I've seen the effect in a digital copy of wired uk and would like to do something similar
any help would be much appreciated

Any time we hear reports of odd lines showing up it is almost always because of layout problems in the Indesign document. Check to make sure that:
1) your document was designed with pixel ruler units, not points/picas
2) each overlay has a whole pixel width and height. If there is a decimal portion on either one you can potentially see odd lines.

Some elements in folio not showing up in Adobe Content Viewer

I have a indesign page I uploaded into my folio and when I preview it on my computer and my ipad in adobe content viewer some of the type and logos are not showing up. They do not have any interactive elements
assigned to them just a text box and a placed .eps. Any ideas as to why some of these elements are not showing up?

I made a new document and copied my files over and the folio shows up fine! Something in that file was messed up.

Portraits and Spreads in a Folio

Is it possible, when building a folio for iPad to have single pages display in portrait and speads display in landscape? I've seen some magazines do this - Saveur for example, but have been unable to find any reference on how to do this with DPS.

Not easily and definitely not worth the effort, IMO.
You'd have to copy/paste the portrait layouts to a landscape page and
scale it there. There is zero benefit to this.

Error generating a Folio

Hallo everybody,
When generating a Folio in InDesign CS6 I get the messagge: “Error generating content. [Error: Impossible to find the resources of one or more layers. Check that the resources utilized are available on the disk, then apdate the article.]
The preliminary check shows a green light, all the links are connected.
I started this project with a trial version of InDesign CS6 in English, then my company gave me a registered copy in Italian. Could this be the reason of the problem or there is something else?

Run the "AdobeContentViewer.air" installer found in the following location:
Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe
Windows: C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe
Note: If you do not see that file there, you can download the latest Folio Producer component updater from the following locations. To avoid this issue, click Yes when prompted to install or update the Content Viewer.
Windows : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5376
Mac : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5377

Why do I have 2 of the same Folios in my Content Viewer?

I am using V20
Using InDesign CS5
Created a new .folio, uploaded this to the cloud, signed into ACV and I see 2 folios.
Why? See screen shot
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Tom -
Note blue banner on top left.
This signifies that this is the folio on the staging server - acrobat.com.
The one without signifies the copy that has been published.
The one on right is what is accesible to your app on customer devices.

Best way (folio/bounding) to display a printed portfolio? (Graphic Design question)

Hi all,
Apologies if this isnt posted in the correct forum (but I wasnt able to find any mainstream graphic design forums, I know there is ultrashock but that's more flash based, if anyone could point me to some would be great.)
Any how my question is what is the best portfolio type (paper/binded folder/display sheets) to display printed graphic design work in to potential clients or employers etc?
I had been using protective sheets, but then a client of mine showed me what someone else had done for them and it was displayed in a huge thick A3 bound portfolio (you couldnt see or tell how each peice of paper was bound to the edge). I'm thinking that's what I really need and really professional type looking folio presented like that, but I don't know of what you would call that type of folio/bounding etc.
Any help would be great

I prefer to do wire-o because you can change the pages out as your portfolio changes. I also like to have vellum slip sheets in-between because it looks more professional as well has assure that the prints do not stick together. I prefer to go with printed plastic transparent covers with an emboss as well as foil stampings with double hit blacks consisted of gloss UV coatings in patterns of textiles, but that gets costly.
Other then that, I think you will have more success creating an on line portfolio. Most people don't have the time to look at hard copies, but it's good to have a back up hard copy for face to face situations.
