Importing articles in Folio Builder

Hi All,
I've been running in to an issues while trying to update an exisiting foilo.
The orginal folder that has been imported shows up as gray when I try to add addition article.
Basic steps for me to replicate:
1) With InDesign open a new Folio is created
2) Using the "Import  Mutltiple Articles" I select the main folder as to where all the stacks are. All articales are imported and uploaded fine.
3) Now lets say a new stack is added or an amendment is made to the main folder.
4) I then go back to the Folio Builder and regardless if I use "Import a Single Article" or "Import  Mutltiple Articles" when I broswe to the main folder it shows up as Gray and I'm unable to access it...
I find that closing and reopening InDesign fixes this issue but of course this is not ideal...
Or I can create another main folder but again when the items are imported from this new main folder it then causes the problem of being gray for future stacks...
Is this normal (intended)? Do others have this issue?
Aditional info:
10.7 & 10.8 (lastest updates)
Adobe InDesign CS5 (7.0.4)
Folio Builder Panel (Lastest Version)
Folio Producer Tools (Version 21. also tested on 22 and 23)
Many thanks,

Is no one else running in to this issue?

  • Error adding/importing articles to folio builder

    I'm receiving the dreaded "The Indesign file for the layout cannot be found. Please relink the article to the desired source files." My folder location is also "invalid". This is received whether I'm importing or adding to a folio. I haven't moved any files. I can't find a recent post with a fix that works for me. I'm working at home on my own Mac. How do I fix this?

    Sounds like something got hosed, somewhere.
    Try trashing your InDesign preferences.

  • Looping HTML articles in Folio Builder Indesign CS6

    I've build a HTML folio using jQuery animations. Everything works great in Folio Builder (I can import the article and preview it on my devices etc.) But when I add a loop to my animations Folio Builder never completes the uploading process when I try to import the article.
    Does anyone now how to solve this?

    Same pb for me. no reply ?

  • Problem with multiple article import under new Folio builder panel

    Hi guys,
    If you try to import multiple articles in pdf format, it looks like they are imported as jpg's. No zooming functionality. If you try to do this one by one, there is no problem. This was already a problem if you upgraded to a newer version of CS5.5 under build 18 and 19 (7.5.2 I believe). But now it doesn't seem to work anymore in build 7.5.0. Is it maybe a solution to upgrade?? Need to upload 320 articles ini 2 times. You can imagine I like to do this in one time. :-)
    Thanks,
    Bart

    Hi Bart,
    We had someone test this internally using CS5.5 and CS6, and v20 of our tools. When the folio was created as PDF, and then multiple articles were imported, the resulting articles are indeed PDF as expected. While you may see a progress window flash past and reference creating a PNG, that is likely for the thumbnail icons used for TOC navigation, etc., and not the actual article.
    How are you testing the pinch and zoom functionality? By deploying the folio to an iPad device? Are you creating v19 or v20 folios? (I.e. have you just updated your panel or the tools as well?)

  • Still problems with uploading articles in folio builder

    Hello,
    Read much information on this forum but i still don't have a solution for my problem. And here is my problem.
    I had a course how to create a digital publication. So went back to work and try to do the same as what i did at the course.
    Installed InDesign CS5.5 and the last folio producer tools en folio panel. Than I create a folio via the folio panel en voila it was created. So far so good.
    Than I try to add an article to this newly created folio but for some reason I can't get it in the folio and I got this message
    An error has occured while updating article layouts.The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found. (Than in Dutch because I have a Dutch version)
    So what I already tried is the following:
    - use another Adobe-ID to log in the folio panel (no succes)
    - uninstalled the publishing parts en reinstalled again the newest parts (no succes)
    - create article via import (also no succes)
    - create a local folio and than add a article (no succes)
    - Also locate the InDesign file on another location (no succes)
    When i create the article the spinner keeps on turning. When I than login to the digitalpublishing.adobe.com with the same adobe-id I see the article with a red frame around it. Which says "Corrupt layout"
    Than I send the InDesign file of an article to someone else and he can upload this file without any problems. And I am sure I have all rights/permissions which I should have.
    Is it possible that you can have problems with uploading articles because of network settings or combinations with other software?
    Has somebody a solution for this really frustrating problem?

    Hi pbremmer!
    Are you using Mac och PC?

  • What's with the whacky reordering when I move articles in Folio builder?

    I move one thing and everything goes crazy; then I spend the next hour straightening out the mess.

    I’m afraid you’re going to need to do much better than that if you want help.
    We need details on the problem.

  • Folio Builder doesn't allow me to add certain articles

    I'm adding articles to folio builder and it's being a little picky about which ones I can add and which ones I can't. They're all formatted in the same size etc., but for some reason 3 of my 30 articles won't give me the "add" option or if I add them they hang and it crashes InDesign. Any ideas? Are there specific types of things I should look out for in regards to how I format my documents so that they'll play nice w/ Folio Builder?

    It's a tough one, Visslette... Of course, you checked the obvious stuff, so you need to supply a bit more info. What formats and orientation are they, are they smooth scrolling or staggering, did you check to upload them to a new magazine (just for the sake of checking the change), do they total over the 100 MB limit ?

  • 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.

  • 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: 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

  • After update Folio Builder Panel 1.1.3. articles keep on loading

    Hi all,
    After updating the Folio Builder Panel as requested (by the panel it self), we are unable to acces any articles. A loading icon keeps on animating and the article-folders stay grey. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Looking forward hearing from you.
    Regards,
    Remco van den Hout

    The good news, your'e not alone. The bad news... Adobe doesn't really have a fix at this point.
    It's a problem where the DPS thinks you are trying to update those articles, and they don't ever get reset to a state of "updated". The only fix I was able to do, unfortunately, was to trash the folios and reupload the whole thing again. It's unclear at this time where the problem was introduced so it might take a while for a fix.
    It was a major pain to have to do this stuff over again – but I know that the issue has been documented and they are looking into it.
    I recommend you make a sidecar.xml file with all the folio descriptive copy. This way, if you have to do this process another time, you can import the sidecar file and it will populate all of your articles again a lot faster. You might have to still adjust the order in a few cases... but it works pretty well. Info on that here:

  • Folio Builder import size error

    Hi,
    I have some Indesign CS6 files in 960 x 640 which I want to import as multiple articles in my new created Folio. In Folio Builder I created a user defined Folio with the size 960 x 640. When I start to import I receive an error: "Size of the Articles have to be the same size as your Folio" But it is!!
    Does anyone have an idea?
    THX

    Are you using the appropriate folder and file naming conventions to import? In other words, is each InDesign file named with an _v suffix and in a separate article folder?
    Also, check the dimensions in your Document Setup settings, and make sure you haven't used the Page tool to change page sizes.

  • Problem with Folio Builder - added articles are "spinning"

    Hello,
    today we are experiencing strange problems with Folio Builder. We are adding new artcles to folio created today and all added articles have same issue - spinning wheel in folio builder. Such articles we can't see in Content viewer until we delete existing folio.
    Thanks for help

    Hi,
    Could be that there was a network problem when uploading the InDesign documents.
    Try to select the articles and delete them with the trashcan. And then reupload the documents from InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Article automatically closes after updating the article in the folio builder?

    For some reason, every time I update an article in the folio builder, the article closes automatically - this is extremely annoying because I like to keep all articles open while working and hate that every time I update, I must reopen it. It seems to be a setting but I've searched preferences etc and can't find any setting to turn this off?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Hi there!
    Thank you so much for your reply -
    It is only happening with a particular folio yes (my ipad rendition in particular). Other folios update and do not close the updating article.
    I'm using the latest cloud version of InDesign - whichever one in the creative cloud app that's currently running. And I use Mac.
    I reset the preferences as you suggested but it is still closing the article - it's very strange because it only does it with that particular folio. At least it only does it with that folio or I'd pull my hair out haha
