Folio producer, folio builder

Having problems with my tools, they've stop working, so going to reinstall everying again, cant remember do we still have to install the folio producer and folio builder in order, and if so which one should be installed first, thanks!
Alistair
P.S I'm clrealy not searching for the correct terms, as I have looked this up, but not found the correct thread

Oh well thanks for the huge response!
sorted now, wasted nearly 2 hours, messing about unistalling Indesign, re-install from disk, them update to the latest version, install the extensions a couple of times. So yet more time lost to fixing DPS, how much did I pay for this licence again??
Hmmm, I could really go on grumbling about this, may be I'l start tweeting about all of the problems, or may be I'll be a good boy
and not rock the boat too much, (eh Zeke!!)
It's been a long day!

An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.

Hello,
I'm using CS 5.5, Mac OS 10.8.4. I've spent the last two nights trying to figure this out but I am really stuck this time... I think the issue I'm having is similar to IDEAMAN1 but I got lost on his advice after trying some stuff out, so help would be greatly appreciated!! (I'm only medium-level tech savvy...)
Trying to create my first epublication. Downloaded FolioPanel v26 and installed it, then FolioProducerTools v27 and installed it. Realised I had stuffed it up so uninstalled both using the uninstaller. Re-downloaded FolioProducerTools v27, FoiioPanel v27 and installed in that order and popup said the updates were ready to go. Opened InDesign and folio builder panel said "An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools.". The link brought me to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=172&platform=Macintosh which is where I downloaded the original files anyway.
So I've tried uninstalling, restarting the computer, trashed preferences, closed CS5.5ServiceManager, reinstalling heaps of times and not sure what I should try next. Please help!! Thanks!!!!

That notification is often a bug.
I get it regularly when I launch InDesing while connected to my Thunderbolt Display.
If I disconnect my Macbook from the Display, relaunch InDesign it works fine - reconnecting to Thunderbolt display after this also still allows the Folio Producer tools to load properly.

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.

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).

Folio Builder and Folio Producer not syncing

Hi,
I've been trying to update my folio and the version in folio producer is not syncing with the version in the folio builder panel in InDesign. I am trying to update so I can preview my content in Adobe Content Viewer. It was working fine as of last Friday (9/6/13) but I've had trouble since I've tried starting Monday (9/9/13) to update. I see that the server was restarted on 9/9 (http://status.adobedps.com/) but I am still having issues. When I click on the Folio Producer option in the Folio Builder panel flyout it takes me to Folio Producer in the browser but does not login.
I would appreciate any help resolving as soon as possible.
Thanks.

I have not tryed pushing it manually to my device. However, I just discovered Folio Producer and the Folio Builder panel sync is functioning properly. It seems the issue is instead with Adobe Content Viewer. I read the troubleshooting tips here: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/troubleshoot-content-viewer-digital-pub lishing.html#main_Folio_appears_in_Folio_Builder_Panel_and_Folio_Producer__but_not_in_Adob e_Content_Viewer under "Folios appears in Folio Builder panel and Folio producer but not in Adobe Content Viewer" and ensured that none of the bullet points are the problem. Could this be a server issue? If pushing it to my device locally is the best workaround, which file do I transfer? Please advise.
Also, I have another issue when I try to submit to Apple: "the binary is not executable" when I upload the zip file. I posted as a separate discussion thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1292215?tstart=0) but no one has addressed. Can you please look into that issue as well?
Thanks for your help!

How can I set my folio to 'public' (created in 'Digital Publishing Suite' folio-builder & producer)

Hi guys,
I have created a book in Indesign and published it Folio Builder and put it online with Folio Producer.
Now I would like to have my client and a group of reviewers to view it online on their tablets, but they can't. I have invited them using the 'share' menu, they created an adobe ID, downloaded the viewer app, but they still can't.
My feeling is that it is because I can not set my folio to be published 'public' (please see screenshot).
Now my question is why can't I set the folio to 'public'?
I am a Adobe creative cloud member.

You need a DPS Professional or an Enterprise Account to publish as Public, With Adobe Creative Cloud workflow, you can create an app by using 'Create App' command from Folio Builder Panel.
Now to share the folio with reviewers, just share the folios with the Adobe id's using the Share button (Two figures) in Folio Producer. Your reviewers will need to download Adobe Content Viewer from App store, login with their id's and then they can download and check out the folio.

Update new Folio Builder Panel but not the Folio Producer Tools?

Hi Guys
I was prompted to update the Builder Panel so I have done this now. I have read some older posts from last week about the new producer tools with new interactivity inside MSOs.
Is everybody still having problems with this update or has the bug been fixed now?
I'm not on such a tight deadline but I don't want any problems! Should I hold fire on updating the Producer tools?
Cheers
Gemma

You can update the viewer builder panel independent from producer tools.
So you can stay on version 17 of the tools but you need the current folio
builder panel.

Folio producer tools update required to use folio builder but content viewer app not available

Hi,
I have a problem with DPS Folio Producer tools.
We are unable to use Folio Builder to update our iPad presentation to the cloud because we keep getting this message: An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download Folio Producer Tools.
We have previously done this only to discover that the new version of Folio Producer Tools is incompatible with the Content Viewer and the new Content Viewer app is not yet approved, or available from Apple.
So we have done a rollback to a previous version of the Folio Producer Tools which worked for a few hours, but is now prompting for the update again - but as explained above we cannot download the update until the Content Viewer app is available.
HELPPPPPPP!!!

This is the DPS model.
When a company thinks first about monetizing solutions instead of making it an extra option.
You are not free anymore to use the tools you want, you must follow Adobe's decisions to update online apps.
Online apps are everything but good.
You will have to wait until the Viewer gets approved by Apple.
Dear Adobe: do you see how many people come here because they don't understand how your technical model works?

New ideas for DPS: Folio Builder/producer suggestions

1. Would be great to introduce a feature into the Folio Builder that tells you which articles need updating - ie: red light // green light...
2. Also - it would be great to be able to order the editions in Folio Producer in order of workflow. ie: relevant / current issue at the top.
3. It would also be great to be able to 'hide' previously published editions - no need for them to be visible 100% of the time. Some sort of accordion drop down menu format.
4. What about a colour option for the Folio you are working on? Faster access and easy for everyone to see.
5. Would be great to copy a Folio to another DPS account within the same enterprise account. Special issues, templates, ads, etc. As opposed to 'sharing' it.
6. When will be be able to view long scrolling pages (ie: longer than 1024 depth) in Content Viewer preview mode? They currently scale to fit the height of the screen. (ie: tiny width).
7. How about using key commands in DPS for the overlay tools, and also the Folio Builder? Would make things a whole lot sweeter. I know you can set these up but is there a chance this will feature as standard, soon?
More to come... if you like.
Cheers,
David

Folio builder and folio producer bug

Hello,
I'm having problems trying to rearrange the pages with the folio builder and also with the folio producer. Sometimes when I drag and drop a page suddenly several pages are moved randomly and lost their previous order. Is there a safe way to order the pages? It's urgent to have a "save" button like there it was in the Content Bundler instead of updating automatically every tiny change because once the bug appears there is no way to going back, you need to start over again rearranging all the pages with the risk of loosing it all again!
I'm a paying user of DPS, where do I submit this problem to get support? It's urgent.
By the way. I'm using CS5 and Safari.
Thank you,
José.

One thing you could try, until you have everything the way you want it, is to work locally instead of in the cloud.
I’m sorry I don’t have anything better to offer but I haven’t seen any widespread reporting of this.

Need links to previous versions of Folio Producer Tools and Folio Builder

Got stonewalled trying to view a folio that had been updated using Release 18 tools on the iPad Content Viewer (2.2). So, I need to reinstall previous versions of Folio Producer Tools/Folio Builder.
I'm aware that the issue is Apple has not yet approved the latest Content Viewer (2.3). In the meantime, I need to keep plowing ahead on a previously built folio, which means using older versions of the tools.
Can anyone help with links to previous versions of the Tools and Builder?
Sorry any redundancy. Posted the message below on a post earlier this morning:
Any ETA on Apple's approval of the new Content Viewer for iPad? Hoping very soon.
Currently working on a folio that was started with pre-Release 18 tools. We updated tools on one computer to Release 18 this morning, made a few tweaks to a single article, then updated it to the folio.
As you predicted, Bob, we can NO LONGER VIEW the folio on our iPad Content Viewer (2.2). And our Enterprise license is still in the works so we can't build a Custom Viewer.
Anyone have a link to pre-Release 18 downloads to reinstall the old Builder panel and Producer Tools on this computer? Or any other ways to circumvent this problem?

Thanks, John. Still not out of the woods yet.
Uninstalled Release 18 Folio Producer Tools and Folio Builder Panel. Downloaded and installed the AdobeDigitalPublishing Patch-All.dmg from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5226
Now, when I open InDesign, I get this prompt ...
And I can no longer access Folio Builder (Window > Extensions > Folio Builder). However, the download site for the patch says that the patch includes the Folio Builder panel:
Any solutions?

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!

Can't sign in to Folio Builder - Urgent deadline

I keep getting the error message 'Sign in has failed [svr Unknown]'
I am using CS5.5. I originally installed V1.01. This didn't allow me to log in so I downloaded 1.13.2. - I can't install this because I don't have OS 10.6!!
I am operating OS 10.5.8 and cannot upgrade to 10.6 as my machine is an iMac circa 2006. OS10.6 is a system requirment for the latest version of Folio Builder it seems.
Please can someone get back to me urgently with a solution to getting my Folio Builder to work as I have created a publication that needs to be uploaded for iPad tonight!!!
Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure you are out of luck if you are on OS 10.5 You can try installing the older version of the folio producer tools from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=4&platform=Macintosh, but that won't impact the version of folio builder panel that's installed. You have to have the latest version of the panel.
Note that we have never supported 10.5, although in past releases it did happen to work. The system requirements at http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-pro/tech-specs.html have always indicated 10.6 is the minimum.

No longer able to sign into Folio builder after updating

I just did the update to the Folio builder as indicated in this thread: Announcement (August 16) - Web Service Update
Now I cannot log into the Folio Builder, I amd shown the following message in the Folio Builder Panel:
You do not have a compatible Digital Publishing Plug-in. Click here to download the Folio producer tools.
Which I then did, but still doesn't work.
Please advise.

You ran the two Folio Producer updates to take DPS to version 1.1.1, yes?

Folio Builder: An error has occurred opening the source file for the article 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
