Hotzones in self made Content Viewer

When I create a new developer app with the current version of the Viewer Builder (Pro Version) hotzones are running perfectely.
When I create a generic Content Viewer with the very same Viewer Builder and the same test folio (new created with v22 tools) hotzones are inactiv although I activated the feature while creating the Content Viewer.
Is this "as designed"?
Best regards
Haeme

Dear Hame,
Johannes Henseler and me were reporting the same problems this morning.
(http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1046037?tstart=0 and http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1046147?tstart=0)
When it is as designed, why is there the button to activate it for the custom viewer in VB?

How to use an self-made iView in the Portal Content?

Hi everybody,
I followed the instructions to set up a Portal (6.0 SP 2) with the PDK. Now I just wrote a simple "Hello-World" iView and deployed it into the portal server. It worked fine when I clicked to test it in the Java Development Inspector.
But...
In the Portal Content I can not find my self-made iView? How do I get it there? I coudn't find any documentation.
I'd appreciate your help!

In the portal content try to create a new Iview and select the option (create new iview from portal Archive).
After selecting that you will see all the PARs deployed on your server, just select yours and follow on.
Hope that helps.
Thanks

In content viewer my shared folios say update available when I've not made any update. Why?

Hi, I've created a number of folios which are currently being shared with my clients via Content Viewer. The folios regularly show an "update available" message even when I've not made any update. Can anyone tell me why this happens?
Thanks
Puzzled DPS user

thanks for your reply
Yes, this is a fully paid up account and we are using the Adobe content viewer from the app store. No we do not use any 3rd party software. All folios are created in in-design and uploaded via the folio builder panel within in-design. As far as I'm aware this has happened since we started using DPS about a year ago. We are not hitting the update folio button within in-design, therefore they should not be saying update available.
Attached is a screen shot showing the online folio builder panel today, as you can see all publication dates are today. Should we be locking these folios?
I should also mention when we open in-design all of the folios we have published are still within the folio builder panel (see second screen shot) and being shared.

White screen in the Adove Content Viewer (Android) when playing OAM files, how do I fix this?

Everything was working yesterday, not anymore.
Folio v31
Article PDF
OAM Overlay Settings
Auto Play - No Delay
User Interaction
I made an oam animation for an "advertisement" article within the folio. Just simply imported the OAM file, set the overlay settings, and preview. Perfect, everything was fine.
Now a white screen appears. I can see the poster image when the page first loads, and then it goes blank. I read about similar white screen issues with OAM's, reading that this was a problem with PDF articles, so I went: "Ok, let me change it to PNG."
Nope, didn't work.
I tried JPG, that didn't work either. I tried PDF/PNG/JPG with delays from 0.125s - 0.5s, I tried placing an image on top of the OAM file, & I changed the user interactions, transparant background, etc.
Still white light.
So I thought, maybe the OAM file is f'd up, let me go make another OAM file with two png files that just moves their position. I tried it with & without a transparent poster image. Still a bright light.
It works in the Adobe Content Viewer on the desktop (as choppy as it is), but not on my device (Nexus 7).
Everything worked yesterday, I don't know if there was an update or something? Am I missing something?
I cannot convey to you how long i've been troubleshooting this issue because I need animations for my projects. I don't like posting on the forum unless I exhausted every source I could find.

You know what's odd?
Yesterday I said it wasn't working and gave up on it. I read this message and I know I had all my animations set to 0.125 - thanks to some past forum questions you've answered- to which I double checked within InDesign.
Anyway, I went to check the saved folio preview - the one that didn't work- and now it works.
I didn't' change anything from when I gave up on it yesterday.
I guess this is answered, although I do not know what happened to the same folio that didn't work yesterday, to work today.

Need to download folios repeatedly in Adobe Content Viewer

Hi:
We are using Adobe Content Viewer (ACV) for a digital education project. The ACV app is used in iPad´s and when are turned off, we need to download again all the folios previously downloaded to the ACV app.
Someone who has the same problem, how to fix it?.
Thanks,
Oscar

I am using iPad 2 with iOS 7.0.4. and latest ACV, more than 10 gb free.
1. Basically, I download a folio on my iPad device, I can open it and everything is just fine. When I click "remove issues from library" I see both folios, one occupies 28 mb, the other one 48 mb. One is made for viewer version 20 the other for 26.
2. Then, I shut down the device completely and turn it back on after few seconds.
3. I launch ACV, both of those folios appear just fine, until I click on them.
4. Just as I click on a folio, the background appears just light gray, without any content. If I tap on the screen, I don't even get top menu, where I can return to library. So I have to force quit ACV.
5. When I launch ACV again, both folios have the cloud icon next to them, and I need to download them in order to view them, HOWEVER, when I click "remove issues from library" button, I see that both folios are still there with the same mb size.
So, it looks like they are still on the device, but for some reasons I need to re-download them again.
Unfortunately I don't have any other iPads to test these folios.
Just to remind, this happens only to 2 out of many folios, both were made in summer last year, they are not published and are only used on the current device as presentations.
Regarding updates, to be honest, I don't remember if I had this prior to last iOS update, but I might not have noticed that.
Usually, if I see there is an update, I just update it.
Is there anything you would recommend to try?
I have not yet tried to remove ACV from the device and re-install. Or unshare that folio and share it again.

OAM-Files do not run in the Content Viewer for Desktop anymore

After updating DPS today animations made with Edge Animate (OAM-Files) do not run in the Content Viewer for Desktop anymore!
What happened there? Any ideas?
Thanks for help!
I'm using mac OS 10.8.2 and InDesign CS6 CC

I have updated Edge Animate today also with all files working & previewing perfectly within Edge. Upon publishing as OAM files for use in inDesign, the Poster loads as per usual, mark Play on Load interactivity on highlighted content holder as usual BUT when testing in Content Viewer file remains as a static poster image - unable to load animated atributes! I thought perhaps it may be a new viewing option so also uploaded page to DPS Acrobat Workspace & tested & the OAM file has not been assigned as inDesign. This is a massive issue! Our Magazine front cover needs its usual animation. Also tested previous files already live and they too do not view correctly in Content Viewer since update, as well are just a poster image! Adobe need to fix this fast!

Can't log in Adobe Content Viewer on iPad only

Hello,
We made a folio and shared it with a client via digitalpublishing.acrobat.com.
The client created an Adobe ID, received an email from adobe and clicked on the link to check the validity of the email address.
He accepted the conditions on the Adobe site.
On an iPad, he can't connect to the Adobe Content Viewer.
But... it works very well on an Android tablet.
I asked the client to go to digitalpublishing.acrobat.com and accept the conditions, but it still does not work.
How can I solve this problem?
Adobe Content Viewer serves as our showcase for potential new customers that we are capable of doing. If I can't show it... I can't get new customers.
TIA.

I asked my client to create an account here: <https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/CreateAccount.html>

How to test and develop the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer on IPad?

Hi
I have been tasked with developing and amending the HTML/Backbone custom content viewer as nicely detailed and explained by Derek Lu here:
https://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/html-default-library.html#
I can see that by removing the reference to libs/AdobeLibraryAPI.js in Index.html i am able to "test" on the desktop.

and that data is bought in via the fulfilment XML feed and the parse method is called on Librarycollection.
I have made the changes to hook up the viewer to bring in some folios that we are developing.
However, although this provides the ability to test and develop on the desktop in one form since we are using JS and Backbone, there are various checks within the provided code to see if ADOBE.isAPIAvailable.
If it is, then the behaviour is different than on the desktop, so once the viewer is packaged up and put on the IPad there is disparity between what you were able to check and test on the desktop version against what is shown on the IPad.
The question therefore is... is there a quick way to develop and test on the Ipad ... it doesnt seem like a viable option to develop blindly on the desktop and then package up the content viewer within Adobe DPS to check how those changes behave on the IPad?
To re-iterate the viewer is to make use of backbone / js example to provide greater functionality and options for customisation.
Thanks in anticipation.
Dave

Thankyou for taking the time to respond and for providing such detailed articles on adobe dps development, it is much appreciated.
I had completely missed that article and was struggling to find anything useful from googling!

Hyperlinks don't work in content viewer

Hi,
I'm using Indesign CS 5.5 and am making a magazine app for apple. I made hyperlinks in my Indesign artcile by highlighting the text and even trying to create a frame arround the text and adding the hyperlink. When I select the link and put "go to destination" everything works fine. When I preview it on the content viewer for an ipad, nothing happens when I click on the text.
Where am I going wrong?

Most likely it's because this is just a preview.
If you want to be sure the hyperlink functions correctly, export to Interactive PDF (which should include hyperlinks by default) and test with Acrobat Reader.
> .. I even trying to create a frame arround the text and adding the hyperlink ..
Can you explain why you thought that would work? It's comparable to "I made the text blue and underlined it". ;)

Adobe Content Viewer in iPad dont update the contents on mi Folio Builder! Help!

Please, someone have de same problem?!
When i update my folio through the Folio Builder in Indesign 5.5, the Content Viewer in iPad dont update de folio.
In Acrobat.com i see the contents update, but in iPad/Adobe Content Viewer not.
Why this problem happens?
Tanks.

As I wrote on another thread (and this was directed at Adobe employees)
"I have been closely monitoring many threads here at DPS (and DPS Private Beta Forums) in the last few weeks, and yes I am new to this particular product group having only been in it since March. But I wonder if there is some way that Adobe can be made aware of how serious this issue is with Builder and Viewer and tools "not lining up" with Apple.
"To keep putting this problem on Apple is somewhat of a shopworn technique (and I say this with all due respect.). Still, Apple commands fully 80+ % of the tablet market. They are the big dog.
"Suggestions for the future: Perhaps there will be a way to choose a tools/viewers workflow at startup -- or to put a bigger "red flag" before installing any update that is not yet supported by Apple. Approaching this from the engineering side, you may have forgotten just how many disclaimer screens the average designer/production person faces every week! Many of us don't read them carefully. (Richard Dreyfuss reads them).
"I have nothing but admiration for what Adobe software engineers are trying to do -- and these are nascent times to be sure. But it certainly seems like this launch is going poorly.

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.

Content Viewer not refreshing, old folios disappeared

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this and if this issue is related to some of the other download problem threads?
My clients contacted me that they were unable to see recent updates I made to our shared development folio. I was able to replicate this as my own folios have stopped updating since yesterday afternoon.
I deleted and re-installed the content viewer on my iPad, and since then all my previous folios fail to show up on the iPad.
I created a small folio, with a blank page, this does show up. However any updates with a bit of content in them appear to upload correctly, but the folios no longer refresh on the iPad.
Several clients also tried to either "archive" existing folios in the hope that they would subsequently refresh, or deleted the content viewer from their iPads with similar resuts to mine.
When starting the content viewer I coccasionally receive a message that says "Cannot contact server, an error has occurred"
Are other folks experiencing this?
Thanks, JB

OK, I figured out this was an orientation issue, related to a bug discussed in post:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3831423#3831423
Apparently when uploading something like a 1024x4000 vertical smooth scrolling stacks, one must
a.) specify an _h filename postfix (makes sense)
b.) Do NOT use the "add" or "update" function of the folio producer tools, but instead use the "import" function for the file's orientation to be interpreted correctly (a work-around)
c.) After import, change the default orientation after importing a _h postfix file from horizontal only to "both" or "vertical"

Content viewer -- archive or shred?

As a complete fan of all things Adobe, I apologize for my title. I'm almost ready to publish my first indesign/dps app, but I've just spent 3 days going in circles, trying to fix what may not be fixable. I wanted some advice before I start from scratch.
Was testing my app in the adobe content viewer and made the mistake -- yes, I made the mistake -- of hitting "ARCHIVE".   I don't think that word actually describes what happened-- I think the label may need to be changed to 'SHRED."
I was having an HTML 5 hiccup, so I blissfully hit Archive thinking I would then be able to download the entire thing once again,you know, a fresh copy.    Big mistake?
I changed a few articles, uploaded them -- and the folio shows up in acrobat.com -- and dps folio producer online. However, content viewer sees nothing.
I've tried uninstalling content viewer on the ipad, in itunes -- and resyncing. The folio has vanished.   I tried sharing again from Indesign and the error message says "user already has access to this folio." Acrobat says the same thing, so does DPS online. I am now a little gunshy of the 'unshare' choice in acrobat.
Is there a work around? Change the name of the app?
You shouldn't have to create a brand new user-- and you shouldn't have to upload the entire folio again-- there should be a way for the content viewer to view your content again, yes?
Then again, I shouldn't have hit 'archive' in the first place. Adobe, please consider a more appropriate name.
Thanks for listening...
I am ever hopeful-- but will probably upload a new version of the app... it is a very big app.
Happy New Year to all,
nancy p

Hmm. In the same acrobat.com account, have you tried to create a quick 'dummy' folio (just a simple one pager) that would at least confirm if you've got access to the account from the viewer? Upload that new dummy folio, then Sign In again in the Content Viewer. If that dummy isn't showing up, something's wrong and it's probably not the Content Viewer.
Another test? Create a brand NEW acrobat.com account and upload the dummy or first page of your other folio that new account. Sign in to the Content Viewer. If you see your folio.....
After that, I'd hit that UNSHARE choice as fast as lightning (blue lightning!). I found the whole share/unshare very goofy.

UISearchBar with a mask on the content view?

Hi,
is it possible to make a mask placed on top of the content view when using the UISearchBar, like the BG mask of the UIAlertView? coz I wanna block the interactions from the content view while it is in the search mode.
Thx
Cody

It's ok now. I just made a UIView instance with 50% transparent black background color.
The result was like pressing the search field in safari.
I don't think we can make the same gradient background color mask like the one in UIAlertView.....
