Folio Producer, Shared Folios and Content Viewer

Hi,
Forgive me if this answer is posted elsewhere and after some searching I wasn't able to find an answer.
I have several folios that students share with me. When you have 30 students or even more each semester sharing folios it starts to add up!
So, I was hoping I could use the Folio Producer to manage which folios (that they have shared with me) show up in my iPad content viewer app. I thought I could check, "Content Viewer for Web Only" in the bottom right of the window when I highlight the folio but when I do, the folio still shows up in the content viewer app.
The number of folios in my content viewer app is unyieldy and some folios aren't showing.
1. Am I using that feature correctly?
2. Is there any way to manage the folios so I can keep them but not have to delete?
3. If folios are not showing in the content viewer app, does this mean there is a limit to the number of folios that can be viewed in the content viewer app?
Thank you in advance.
Deb

1. No, that feature is for something entirely different (related to social sharing)
2. Not really. When they are in your account they show up in Adobe Content Viewer. That's what Adobe Content Viewr is for: to show you the folios in your account.
3. There's no limit. If the folios aren't showing up it probably means they aren't the right size for an iPad. They have to be 1024x768 or 2048x1536.

Library empty: live App and content viewer

Hi,
I'm facing a serious problem as our folios of elektrospieler aren"t shown in the App (which is live on the store) nor the content viewer any more.
Library is updating within the branded App "Cannot actualize Library - An error occured" (Bibiliothek kann nicht aktualisiert werden - Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten).
http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/elektrospieler-games-magazin/id438669889?mt=8
I just updated the App with a binary that I build 1 month ago, but the error was there prior the update.
What can I do? I have no idea why the folios don't even show in content viewer?!
Thanks very much in advance,
Richard

Richard,
maybe, when the issues don't appear in the content viewer anymore this
might have to do with v21, wich requires you to set up the orientations you
want first and then fails to appear on the iPad if you have not added all
orientations.
if your folio is only one orientation and you switched to v21, the folio
settings need to reflect that.
maybe you can try with a new folio, look at the settings in the new folio
window.
this is my initial shot in the dark.
but if you can provide the product Id to James Roche, he might be able to
investigate further.

Updates to Folio Panel, Producer Tools and Content Viewer on iPad breaking scroll panels

This has not been a good morning.
Came into the office this morning, logged in and saw that there were updates for the Content Viewer, Producer Tools and the Folio Panel. Updated them all. Started to work some more on a promo piece for a new magazine and began to notice Scroll Panels using the "Pan Only" form within the Content Overlay panel no longer work. This was a great way to create scroll panels that could contain hyperlinks. Problem is, I am not sure where the problem lies. Is the problem with the Viewer or with the updates to the Folio Tools or Folio Panel? I am unfortunately on deadline for this afternoon and I don't have the luxury to troubleshoot this. Granted, I probably shouldn't have updated all of these tools at this juncture, but I was hoping that these updates would fix the problem I was having with the Desktop Viewer that wasn't working. Sadly, the Desktop Viewer works now, but that came with the price of losing functionality elsewhere.
Frustrated.

Yeah, it's been a project that I was working on for the last two weeks. We were supposed to have a final walk-through this afternoon and present it tomorrow. But now a good portion of the features that were working and had been promised no longer work. All out of no fault of my own. I understand that these things can happen, but this one is pretty bad and the timing was worse. Like I said, I shouldn't have updated the tools and the Viewer app until after the presentation... but then again, that may have been even worse. At least I was able to get the presentation postponed until Monday... gives me a little more time to figure out what to do.
Anyways, I did able to get a hold of someone through support and was able to send them some files. It's being looked at as I type this. I do have to give credit to the Adobe support staff, they've been helpful and pretty responsive! Thanks guys!

Folio Builder and Content Viewer Down

The Folio Builder in InDesign is not loading for me. It is stuck in the loading wheel. The Content Viewer on the iPad gives me "Authentification failed" when I try to sign in. I checked the DPS status (http://status.adobedps.com/) and Production: Publishing is yellow, but I want to make sure this issue is known and being addressed. There are notes from yesterday (Feb 3), but nothing new added today (Feb 4).
Most of my production is now halted until these things can be remedied.
Can someone please update me on the progress of DPS?

http://status.adobedps.com/ reports that we had an outage earlier today but it should now be resolved.

Adobe DPS Folio and Content Viewer Query

Hello,
I am currently creating folios using the Foilo Overlays and Folio Builder and then previewing them on the Content Viewer on the iPad. My question is after the 1st May will I still have the ability to do this? I don't create app just preview them on my iPad to see how they work. If anyone can give me an answer it would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Alan

Yes, after May 1, you'll still be able to create, edit, and share folios, and you can use Adobe Content Viewer to view folios. You just won't be able to build single-folio apps using a Single Edition or Creative Cloud license.

Folio not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on ipad

folio i created in indesign cs5.5 not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on ipad.
I have CS5.5, Apple ipad 1st gen ios 5.0.1 Adobe content viewer 1.9.1
the folio appears on the acrobat.com site in the FOLIO PRODUCER
but nothing is appearing on my ipad in the Adobe Content Viewer.
I work for a large magazine publisher and would like to demo the folio on the ipad to sell the concept of the DPS.
However if i cant get this on my device, its going to be a no go.
Help please.
Thanks,
James.

Thanks Ants,
Your doubts motivated me to do some testing on the subject;-)
I made several files of different dimensions, and uploaded them to the cloud. All of them rendered correctly on the desktop. But only those which used exact 4:3 width:height ratio appeared in the Content Viewer on the iPad. And only those, which were at least 1024x768px. A perfect 4:3 document sized 768x576 did not show. But the 1536x1152 one appeared correctly.
I am still certain, that the reason of absence od James' file in his iPad was caused by the dimensions of the folio. I would however modify my statement:
Only the folios sized exactly 1024x768 px (Landscape, portrait or both orientations) are valid for iPad
It should be: Only the folios sized 1024x768 px or more, with exact 4:3 ratio (Landscape, portrait or both orientations) are valid for iPad.

Tomek

Folio not opening in adobe content viewer

About a year ago, I created a magazine with Digital Publishing Suite for a college course and uploaded it to my ipad in Adobe Content Viewer. It was from a school computer and version of Indesign so I don't think I'd be able to reload the file onto the content viewer app if I needed to. When I open the content viewer, I see the cover of my magazine alongside an Adobe file that says "Release". This Adobe file is newly there, and so is a blue plug icon on the top corner of my magazine. When I click my magazine, the little info "i" turns into a spinning symbol, as if it were loading. However, nothing loads and nothing happens. I left it for hours and nothing happened. When I click to open the Adobe release file, it opens to a light grey screen with no content, buttons, or anything. There is nothing I can click on or do so it forces me to exit and quit the app.
Can someone please help me in figuring out what is causing it to not open? I'm frustrated at this point and am nervous to delete and redownload the app in case my file is lost. Like I said, not sure if it would still be there or if I could get it back again. (I also am signed into the app with my Adobe ID, if that helps)
Thanks!

Unfortunately you need to uninstall and reinstall the Adobe Content Viewer app, and doing so will result in the loss of the folio you see because you added it to the device using Preview on Device. Since you did this a year ago there have been several iOS changes that required updates to the application. There's really no way to resolve this without uninstalling, reinstalling, and then putting the content onto your device again.

Folio not appearing in Adobe Content Viewer on some iPads

I have been working on developing an app for iPad in InDesign CS6 using Adobe DPS. For the most part, the process was working smoothly until recently. Once signed into Adobe Content Viewer on my third generation iPad, the folio shows up fine and downloads as expected. However, when others with older iPads download Content Viewer and sign in, they do not see the folio as an option. For example, a person with a second generation iPad, who has the latest iOS, was unable to see the folio in the viewer. I have stripped the app down to about 40megs, thinking size might have been an issue, but after multiple users have experience identical results, I don't think that is it. Has anyone had a similar issue, and is there anything I can do on my end to make the app compatible with a wider range of iPads?

Is it a single-folio app or a multi-folio app? If you set up renditions for a multi-folio app, only the appropriate rendition is available for a device. See this article about renditions:

Unpublished folio falls to bottom of content viewer?

Is this a "feature change" - or a bug?
Unpublished folios now sort to the bottom when viewing the Adobe ID with Content Viewer.
Unless you "Preview on Ipad" - in which case it sorts to the top as it has in the past.
Anyone else notice this quirk?

Has there been any update to this discussion? We're having this same problem. The error has existed with every folio we've proofed with Adobe Content Viewer in 2013; folios published or unpublished in 2012 showed up sequentially as intended. It is becoming a bigger problem as we are trying to proof more folios and our reviewers are having to scroll through several screens to see the new content. We're using Adobe Content Viewer ver. 3.0 on iPad 1, 2 and 3, all with the same results. Any help would be very appreciated.

Unable to view offline folios on ipad with Adobe Content Viewer

I am suddenly unable to view offline folios on my iPad with Adobe Content Viewer. These are folios I was able to view 2 days ago. Updated InDesign, reinstalled the Content viewer, tested on 2 computers with 2 difffernt iPads and 2 different cables. Is anyone else having this problem?

This is a known issue, please see http://status.adobedps.com/ for updates.

Unsupported Rendition and Content Viewer

Receiving an error when trying to view folio via content viewer - worked less than 24 hours ago. Ideas as to why this would be happening? Social sharing is on and another folio of the same app works in content viewer.
URL to content view linked shared via social sharing: Unsupported Rendition

When you were previewing yesterday you were likely using the preview button in the Folio Overlays panel, and today you likely used the one in the Folio Builder panel. The builder panel previews the entire folio, and if you have mismatched article orientations then you'll get this error.

IPad VS Folio Producer: some folios not matching

helllo
on my iPad's content viewer, I still see some old folios that are useless
I've deleted them on the Folio Producer panel but htey are still in the iPad content viewer and there's not way (?) to get rid of them because the only choices i got are
- resume/show (i don't know if THESE terms are used in the english version as i use the french one)
the "archiver" button does not show
and if resume, the article just deos not upload of course
anyone experiencing this and has any clue ?

Unfortunately, there's no way to hit any "cancel" button, it does not show, i only got "resume/show" and if i try to resume, a popo up shows saying "Dowload error" try again later" and i just an click okay, and then back to state#01

Adobe ID and Content Viewer sign in?

I have created a new Adobe ID account for a new publication. I have logged in with this new ID into Folio Builder and have also used Folio Producer to publish this free folio.
When I log into ACV on my iPad with this new Adobe ID account, I do see this new folio, but I also see all the other folios that I have produced that are not associated with this new Adobe ID. Is this correct?
Tom

Yes, you'll continue to see folios you've downloaded from other accounts until you archive/remove the folios.

Adobe Air and Content Viewer on Kindle Fire

How do I install/use Adobe Air on my Kindle Fire? I have it installed on my PC and have tried to install it on my fire using a USB. It seems as if it works but when I look on the Kindle Fire it's not there.
Also - how do you use Content Viewer on the Kindle Fire. I have the app and it launches fine but I don't know how to get documents into it to view.
Any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much.
Sally M

Hi Sally,
Is AIR available on the Amazon marketplace for Kindle? If so, you'll want to download and install it from there. I don't have this device, but I'll ask around and see if anyone knows more info.
Thanks,
Chris

Folio not updating on iPad content viewer

Anyone else had this problem? I've made several changes to the folio yet on my iPad it doesn;t say there's an update available. I 'archived' the folio to try and get it back but it's just hidden for good now. I deleted the app and re-installed and all the other folios appear except this one.
Not sure what to do short of re-uploading everything to a new folio...

duncan,
i experience the same bbehaviour. acrobat.com seem to become hickups after
some time.
my solution to this was to rebuild the folio. annoying.
